A quadratic function is defined by

ella [17]

Answer:

1. The vertex of the graph of the function is (-4, 7)

2. The vertex represents a minimum value

3. The equation represented by the new graph is g(x) = (x + 4)² + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic function is given in vertex form, y = a·(x - h)² + k, as follows;

g(x) = (x + 4)² + 7

1. By comparing the given quadratic function and the vertex form of a quadratic equation, we have;

a = 1, h = -4, and k = 7

The vertex of the graph of the function, (h, k) = (-4, 7)

2. Given that a = 1 > 0, the graph of the quadratic function opens upwards and the vertex represents a minimum value

3. Shifting the graph 6 units down from where it is now will give;

The vertex = (h, k - 6) = (-4, 7 - 6) = (-4, 1)

h = -b/(2·a), k = (-b²/(4·a) + c = -a·h² + c

c = k + a·h²

Therefore, initial value of the constant term, c = -1×(-4)² + 7 = 23

After the shifting the graph 6 units down, c = 23 - 6 = 17

∴ k = 1 = -a·(-4)² + 17

∴ -16/16 = -1 = -a

a = 1

Therefore, the equation represented by the new graph is g(x) = (x + 4)² + 1.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

the students that brought a lunch box is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the students that brought a lunch box is shown below:

= Entire school students × students that carry a lunch box ÷ entering students

= 84 students × 8 ÷ 24 students

= 28 students

Hence, the students that brought a lunch box is 28

In a teacher's math course, a linear regression line was calculated to predict

Marat540 [252]

The given equation is the best line that approximates the linear

relationship between the midterm score and the score in the final exam.

AJ's residual is 0.3, which is not among the given options, therefore, the correct option is. <u>E. None of these</u>.

Reasons:

The given linear regression line equation is; $\hat y$ = 25.5 + 0.82· $\mathbf{\hat x}$

Where;

$\hat y$ = Final exam score;

$\hat x$ = The midterm score;

AJ score in the first test, $\hat x$ = 90

AJ's actual score in the exam = 99

Required:

The value of AJ's residual

Solution:

By using the regression line equation, we have;

The predicted exam score, $\hat y$ = 25.5 + 0.82 × 90 = 99.3

The residual score = Predicted score - Actual score

∴ AJ's residual = 99.3 - 99 = 0.3

AJ's residual = 0.3

Therefore, the correct option is option E;

<u>E. None of these</u>
