Which direction does the graph of f(x) = −18 + x2 − 3x open?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Please write this equation as <span>f(x) = −18 + x^2 − 3x

Rewrite it in descending order by powers of x: f(x) = x^2 - 3x - 18

Since the coefficient of the x^2 term is +, the graph opens UP.</span>

Assume that there are 365 days in a year, the probability that a person is born on any given day is the same for all days, and e

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If each day equal chance then p = Prob that a person is borne on a particular day = 1/365

Each person is independent of the other and there are two outcomes either borne in July or not

p = prob for one person not borne in July = (365-31)/365 = 334/365

a)Hence prob that no one from n people borne in July = $(\frac{334}{365} )^n$

b) p = prob of any one borne in July or Aug = $\frac{(31+31) }{365} =\frac{62}{365}$ =0.1698

X- no of people borne in July or Aug

n =15

P(X>=2) = $15C2 (0.1698)^2*(1-0.1698)^{13} +15C3 (0.1698)^3*(1-0.1698)^{12} +...+15C15 (0.1698)^{15}$

=0.7505

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point?

Artist 52 [7]

<h3>Answer: 3x-2y = 5 (choice A)</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

The given graph passes through (0,2) and (2,5)

The slope of this line is

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5-2)/(2-0)

m = 3/2

Since the y intercept is b = 2, we go from y = mx+b to y = (3/2)x+2, which is the equation of the graphed line shown.

Any parallel line will have the same slope, but a different y intercept.

-------------------

The parallel line must pass through (x,y) = (3,2). We'll use these coordinates along with m = 3/2 to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2 = (3/2)(3)+b

2 = 9/2+b

2-9/2 = b

4/2 - 9/2 = b

-5/2 = b

b = -5/2 ... is the new y intercept

The equation of the parallel line is y = (3/2)x-5/2, which is in slope intercept form

-------------------

Let's convert to standard form

y = (3/2)x-5/2

2y = 3x-5 .... multiply everything by the LCD 2 to clear out fractions

2y+5 = 3x

3x = 2y+5

3x-2y = 5 ... is the equation in standard form of the parallel line

-------------------

As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (3,2) into that last equation above to get

3x-2y = 5

3*3-2*2 = 5 ... replace x with 3, replace y with 2

9-4 = 5

5 = 5

Confirming that (x,y) = (3,2) is on the line.

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (1,-108) and y-intercept (0,-105). Write your answer in this form: (X1,y1), (x

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

(7, 0) and (-5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertex form</u>

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

(where (h, k) is the vertex)

Given:

vertex = (1, -108)

$\implies y=a(x-1)^2-108$

Given:

y-intercept = (0, -105)

$\implies a(0-1)^2-108=-105$

$\implies a(-1)^2=-105+108$

$\implies a=3$

Therefore:

$\implies y=3(x-1)^2-108$

The x-intercepts are when y = 0

$\implies 3(x-1)^2-108=0$

$\implies 3(x-1)^2=108$

$\implies (x-1)^2=36$

$\implies x-1=\pm \sqrt{36}$

$\implies x=1\pm 6$

$\implies x=7, x=-5$

Therefore, the x-intercepts are (7, 0) and (-5, 0)
