Complete question:
A bucket of candy contains 24 Jolly Ranchers, 18 Hershey Kisses, 12 packs of Smarties, and some Starburst. The probability of reaching in and pulling out a pack of Smarties is 1/6.How many Starburst are in the bucket?
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Give the following :
Number of jolly ranchers = 24
Number of Hershey kisses = 18
Number of smarties = 12
Number of Starburst = s
Probability of pulling out a smarties ; P(smarties) = 1/6
Probability = required outcomes / total possible outcomes
Required outcome = 12
Total possible outcomes = (24 + 18 + 12 + s) = 54 + s
P(smarties) = 12 / (54 + s)
1/6 = 12 / 54 + s
1 × (54 + s) = 12 × 6
54 + s = 72
s = 72 - 54
s = 18
Hence number of smarties = 18

Answer:
y= -4x^2 + 15x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola is always in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.
Substitute each point to produce different equations:
-14 = 0a + 0b + c = c
so c = -14
-3 = a1^2 + b1 + c = a + b - 14
so a + b = 11
0 = a2^2 + b2 + c = 4a + 2b -14 = 0
so 4a + 2b = 14
if we double a + b = 11 we get 2a + 2b = 22
Subtract this from 4a + 2b = 14 and we get 2a = -8 so a= -4 and b = 11 - a = 15
We don't need to use the (3,5) points as we have all the information we need.
