<span>σ</span> is a symbol for summation that means that it is used to add all the vales of the equation in the range
for example taking 0<x<4 and x is an integer
so Ď(x - 2)^2= (1-2)^2+(2-2)^2+(3-2)^2
The options were
a. Square each value
b. Subtract 2 points from each score
C. Sum the squared values
d. Subtract 22 from each X2 value
As we can see above the answer is C. Sum the squared values
To do these, start by looking at the "b" value -6.
divide it by 2
-6/2 = -3
now square this number
(-3)^2 = 9
this is what you need for the "c" value
there is only a 5 for the c value so add 4 to both sides of the equation. ( +4 = +4)
y +4 = x^2 -6x +5 +4
y +4 = x^2 -6x +9
y +4 = (x -3)^2
y = (x -3)^2 - 4
vertex ( 3, -4) upwards facing like a bowl, because the "a" value is positive. So the vertex is the minimum, lowest point on the graph.
The correct answer is d because every input is supposed to have exactly one output
1. Annual percent increase in rent is basically just a percentage of the rent increased each year.
2. Heater: Use fire places, or lower the amount of air conditioning usage so it's not so cold.
Electricity: Turn off ceiling fans and lights when not used, or only allow the essential things to use electricity.
Water: Not leave faucets or showers running, or no bathtubs which prevents baths.
3. The couple could save $450 in one year because 3000 divided by 0.15 which is the 15%, equals to the total amount saved at $450.
4. Groceries/everyday essentials, Gas money, taxes, pay off loans.
