Answer:

D. 3 Points

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Members = 3

Point = 9 - n

1 \leq\ n \leq 8

Required

Determine the least possible score

The least point a member of a team can get is when n = 8.

i.e.

Point = 9 - n

Point = 9- 8

Point = 1

To get the least score, each of the 3 members must have 1 point each.

So:

Total = 3 * 1

Total = 3

Using a directrix of y = −3 and a focus of (2, 1), what quadratic function is created?
bazaltina [42]
<span>f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1
   Since a parabola is the curve such that all points on the curve have the same distance from the directrix as the distance from the point to the focus.With that in mind, we can quickly determine 3 points on the parabola. The 1st point will be midway between the focus and the directrix, So: (2, (1 + -3)/2) = (2, -2/2) = (2,-1). The other 2 points will have the same y-coordinate as the focus, but let offset on the x-axis by the distance from the focus to the directrix. Since the distance is (1 - -3) = 4, that means the other 2 points will be (2 - 4, 1) and (2 + 4, 1) which are (-2, 1) and (6, 1). The closest point to the focus will have the same x-coordinate as the focus, so the term will be (x-2)^2. This eliminates the functions "f(x) = -one eighth (x + 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = -one half (x + 2)^2 - 1" from consideration since their x term is incorrect, leaving only "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = one half (x - 2)^2 + 1" as possible choices. Let's plug in the value 6 for x and see what y value we get from squaring (x-2)^2. So: (x-2)^2 (6-2)^2 = 4^2 = 16 Now which option is equal to 1? Is it one eighth of 16 minus 1, or one half of 16 plus 1? 16/8 - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 16/2 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9 Therefore the answer is "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1"</span>

A principal of $3400 is invested at 7.75% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 15 years? U
DENIUS [597]
A = $ value after 15 years
P = principal (initial deposit)
r = annual % rate
n = # of times interest compounds per year
t = # of years the money is invested

Formula:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

A= $3400(1+ 0.0775/1) ^(1*15)
A= 3400(1.0775)^15
A= 3400(3.0637913274)
A= $10,417 investment after 15 years

Hope this helps! :)
