Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the total fabric as an integer = 1
Ellen divides a piece of fabric into 8 equal sections by drawing chalk lines.
= 1/8, hence each section = 1/8
Then she cuts off 5 of the sections to make into placemats.
This is written as: 5 sections × 1/8 = 5/8
The fraction of the fabric that is left is calculated as:
1 - 5/8
Lowest Common Denominator = 8
Hence: 8 - 5/8 = 3/8
The fraction of the fabric that is left is 3/8
<u>Part A</u>
<u />
So, the x-intercepts are 
<u>Part B</u>
The vertex will be a minimum because the coefficient of
is positive.
The x-coordinate of the vertex is 
Substituting this back into the function, we get 
So, the coordinates of the vertex are 
<u>Part C</u>
Plot the vertex and the x-intercepts and draw a parabola that passes through these three points.
The graph is shown in the attached image.
The first one is 4 and the last one is 2.14237024 u can put all of that in if u want
the answer is graph b on edg.
