Answer:
a) (-5,0) and (1,0)
b) (0,-5)
c) minimum
See attached graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph the function, find the vertex of the function find (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)). Substitute b = 4 and a = 1.
-4/2(1) = -4/2 = -2
f(-2) = (-2)^2 + 4(-2) - 5 = 4 - 8 - 5 = -4 - 5 = -9
Plot the point (-2,-9). Then two points two points on either side like x = -1 and x = -3. Substitute x = -1 and x = -3
f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 4 (-1) - 5 = 1 - 4 - 5 = -8
Plot the point (-1,-8).
f(-3) = (-3)^2 + 4(-3) - 5 = 9 - 12 - 5 = -8
Plot the point (-3,-8).
See the attached graph.
The features of the graph are:
a) (-5,0) and (1,0)
b) (0,-5)
c) minimum
Answer:
Simply subtract the fail rate from 100; the resulting number is the pass rate. So, if you know that 6 percent of students failed, you would subtract: 100 - 6 = 94 percent is the pass rate for the test.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is
where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then
a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is
and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.
