Answer:
y = (x - 5)² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (5, - 2), thus
y = a(x - 5)² - 2
To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation
0 = a(7 - 5)² - 2
0 = 4a - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
2 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
a = =
y = (x - 5)² - 2 ← in vertex form
4(x + 3) = 6 - x
First, expand to remove parentheses.
Second, subtract '6' from both sides.
Third, subtract '12 - 6' to get 6.
Fourth, subtract '4x' from both sides.
Fifth, since 'x' can be referred to as '1', add it to '4x' to get '-5x'.
Sixth, divide both sides by '-5'.
Seventh, change the whole fraction into a negative.
Eighth, switch your sides.

Answer:
So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 27 of the 193 males in the sample smoke while 16 of the 169 females in the sample smoke.
We have the following proportion:
So we get that 13.9% of men smoke.
We have the following proportion:
So we get that 9.5% of women smoke.
We get: 13.9%-9.5%=4.4%.
So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.
