Explanation:
Vertex form of a quadratic function is given by y = a(x - h)² + k
where
1) 'a' determines if parabola is stretched or compressed.
If a > 1 then graph is stretched by a factor of a.
If 0 < a < 1, then graph is compressed by a factor of a.
2) If a > 0 then graph opens upwards with a happy face. (minimum)
3) If a < 0 then graph opens downwards with a sad face. (maximum)
4) (h, k) is the vertex point
5) The axis of symmetry is x = h
While solving for y = 1(x - 4)² + 3
Identify following's:
Vertex: (h, k) = (4, 3)
Axis of symmetry: x = 4
Max/Min: As here a > 0, Minimum (4, 3)
Stretch/compression: a = 1, the graph is stretched by a factor of 1.
Direction of opening: As a > 0, the graph opens upwards.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

17 ÷ 2 = 8.5
8.5 as a mixed number is
.
There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of red flowers in vase = 4
No. of white flowers in vase = 5
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 4:5
No. of red flowers in large arrangement = 32
No. of white flowers in large arrangement = w
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 32:w
Using proportion;
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers :: Ratio of red flowers to white flowers

Product of extreme = Product of mean

Dividing both sides by 4

Total flowers in large arrangement = Red flowers + white flowers
Total flowers in large arrangement = 32 + 40 =72
There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.

It is easier to understand the problem if you create a number based on the criteria and then perform the computations. I am going to choose: 111 22 33 4
There are 10 options for the first "1" and only 1 option for the other two 1's
There are 9 remaining options for the first "2" and only 1 option for the other 2
There are 8 remaining options for the first "3" and only 1 option for the other 3
There are 7 remaining options for the "4"
10 x 1 x 1 x 9 x 1 x 8 x 1 x 7
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 5,040
Answer: 5,040
