Answer: Direction opens downward
Step-by-step explanation:
X-Intercept: (1/14,0),(-1/4,0)
Y-Intercept: (0,1)
Find the vertex using x= -b/2a
Plug it into the vertex form = y=a(x-h)^2 +k
H,K will identify the direction.

Answer:
x = - 2, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve
3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
| x - 2 | = 4
The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus
x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 6
OR
- (x - 2) = 4
- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 2
As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions
x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True
Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6
Answer: C) 50% of the students scored below 70%
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Mean is the average. To find the mean (aka average) you add up all of the scores and divide by the number of tests.
B) The mean can be 70 without any test scoring 70% so B is not true.
A) Since B is not true, then A is not a valid option.
D) We don't know any of the other data so don't know if it is skewed left, skewed right, or normal. Therefore, option D is not true.
C) If the average is 70%, then half received grades above that score and half received grades below that score. So, option C is TRUE!
