If you fit the vertex and the y-intercept into that form of the parabola, what you get is this:
a(0-4) ^{2} =(15+1) and
a(-4) ^{2} =16 and 16a=16. Solve that a to get that a = 1.  Now you have your true parabola equation in vertex form, which is:
1(x-4) ^{2} =y+1 or just
(x-4) ^{2} =y+1
Follow my work here to find the x-intercepts:
(x-4) ^{2} -1=y
(x-4)(x-4)-1=y and x^{2} -8x+16-1=y
Simplifying by combining like terms gives you this parabola:
x^{2} -8x+15=y
In order to find the x-intercepts, or the roots of the parabola as they are also known as, you have to set y equal to 0 (because the x-intercepts are found when y = 0, right?)
x^{2} -8x+15=0
Factoring that gives you (x-5)(x-3)=0 and that x-5=0 and x-3=0. Solving each of those simple equations gives you x=5 and x=3 when y=0. So the roots, in the form you require them, are (5, 0) and (3, 0)

One cup of​ grated, fresh Parmesan cheese weighs 3 ounces. How many cups of grated cheese can you expect to get from a​ 4.5-poun
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

9 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If one pound is equal to 2 cups, then you would multiply 2 by 4, which gives you 8. If one pound equals 2 cups, then half a pound equals 1 cup. So since we already have 8 cups, you just add one more cup, which gives you 9 cups total

SUMMARY: You can expect to get 9 cups of grated parmesan cheese from a 4.5-pound block.

Si elegimos un día de la semana al azar, ¿qué probabilidad hay de que sea fin de semana (ya sabemos que hay dos días…)?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

La Probabilidad es la mayor o menor posibilidad de que ocurra un determinado suceso. En otras palabras, la probabilidad establece una relación entre el número de sucesos favorables y el número total de sucesos posibles. Entonces, la probabilidad de un suceso cualquiera A se define como el cociente entre el número de casos favorables (número de casos en los que puede ocurrir o no el suceso A) y el número total de casos posibles. Esta se denomina Ley de Laplace.

P(A)=\frac{numero de casos favorables}{numero de casos posibles}

En este caso:

  • número de casos favorables: 2 (cantidad de días del fin de semana)
  • número de casos posibles: 7 (cantidad de días totales en la semana)

Reemplazando:

P(A)= \frac{2}{7}

<u><em>La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es </em></u>\frac{2}{7}<u><em></em></u>
