See below for answers and explanations (along with a graph)
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the vertex, we can transform the expression into an equation in the form of y=a(x-h)²+k and take (h,k) as our vertex. By completing the square, we see that y=x²+6x+8 is the same as y=(x+3)²-1, implying that our vertex is (-3,-1)
To calculate the axis of symmetry, it is defined as the vertical line that passes the x-axis, defined as x=h, therefore the axis of symmetry is x=-3
To calculate the y-intercept, it is defined as the y-value when x=0, therefore the y-intercept would be y=(0)^2+6(0)+8=8, so y=8 or (0,8)
To calculate the x-intercepts, which are the x-values when y=0, we can factor the expression and set it equal to 0 so we can use the Zero Product Property. Therefore, if x²+6x+8=0, then (x+2)(x+4)=0, implying that x+2=0 and x+4=0 are solutions. This means that our x-intercepts are x=-2 and x=-4 or (-2,0) and (-4,0).
Note that there are different ways to achieve these answers. See the graph for a visual reference (you may need to click on it to zoom in).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The total number of cards in a deck = 52
Number of red cards = 26
There are two types of red cards : diamond and heart.
Number of diamond cards = 13
The probability that the first card is a diamond :-
Since diamond is also a red card.
Now, the total cards left = 51
The number of red cards left = 12
The probability that the second card is a red card (without repetition) is given by :-
Now, the probability of choosing a red card for the second card drawn, if the first card, drawn without replacement, was a diamond :-
