has the following characteristics:
- Factors:

- Zeros/roots: x=0, x=-2, amd x=1
- Positive leading coefficient
- Graph starts up, curves down through -2 on the x-axis and back up to 0 where it touches and curves down and back up again again. It comes down back through 1 and crosses.
- Its graph s the shape of a W.
- It has minimum values at -2.83 and -0.397
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is

The graph of the left hand side of this equation is

This quadratic graph has its vertex at (0,2) and turns upside down.
The right hand side of the equation is

This quadratic graph opens upwards and has its vertex at (0,-8).
The two graphs intersects at two points , which are (-2,0) and (2,0).
Answer: n = 600.25 ≈ 601 ( sample size)
the minimum sample size of the adults in United State who have sleep deprivation is 601
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
the confidence level = 95% = 0.05
the Margin of error E = 4% = 0.04
∴ level of significance ∝ = 1 - C.L
∝ = 1 - (95/100)
= 0.05
Z∝/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025
Z-critical value at 95% confidence level is OR level of significance at 0.025 = 1.96 (z-table)
Now to calculate the sample size, we say
n = (Z(critical) / M.E )² P ( 1 - P)
now we substitute
n = (1.96 / 0.04)² × 0.5 ( 1 - 0.5)
n = 2401 × 0.5 × 0.5
n = 600.25 ≈ 601
Therefore the minimum sample size of the adults in United State who have sleep deprivation is 601
Vertex: (-5,-2); parabola opens up;
General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:
y+2 = a(x+5)^2. We need to find the value of the coefficient a.
From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).
subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:
10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or 1 = a(169/16).
Solving for a: a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10. Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.
I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:
10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or (169/16)a. Thus, 12 = a(169/16)
12
Solving for a: a = ------------- = 1.14. The answer choice closest to this is 1.
169/16
Answer A is correct.
