Answer:
(a) none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest exponent in the function shown is 2. That makes it a 2nd-degree function, also called a quadratic function. The graph of such a function is a parabola -- a U-shaped curve.
The coefficient of the highest-degree term is the "leading coefficient." In this case, that is the coefficient of the x² term, which is 1. When the leading coefficient of an even-degree function is positive, the U curve has its open end at the top of the graph. We say it "opens upward." (When the leading coefficient is negative, the curve opens downward.)
This means the bottom of the U is the minimum value the function has. For a quadratic in the form ax²+bx+c, the horizontal location of the minimum on the graph is at x=-b/(2a). This extreme point on the curve is called the "vertex."
This function has a=1, b=1, and c=3. The minimum of the function is where ...
x = -b/(2·a) = -1/(2·1) = -1/2
This value is not listed among the answer choices, so the correct choice for this function is ...
none of the above
__
The attached graph of the function confirms that the minimum is located at x=-1/2

<em>Additional comment</em>
When you're studying quadratic functions, there are few formulas that you might want to keep handy. The formula for the location of the vertex is one of them.
In order to express 0.45 as a common fraction, all you have to do is first divide 45 to 100. So in order to get the answer to this, you just have to put 45 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator. This will become 45/100. To turn it into its simple form, you have to first ask yourself what is a common divisible number for the two. 5 can be divided by 45 and 100 so 5 can be used. So the final answer, if you make it into simplest form, will be 9/20

I think it's A: Similar - AA
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that ∠K≅∠N & ∠L≅∠P, so that gives us 2 sets of congruent angles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a consumer magazine article titled "How Safe Is the Air in Airplanes" reports that the air quality, as quantified by the degree of staleness, was measured on 175 domestic flights.
The purpose was to study about the safety of all flights as a whole.
Since all flights cannot be measured within a reasonable time, a sample of 175 domestic flights were taken.
a) The population of interest here would be the measure of safety of all the airplanes.
b) Sample is the 175 domestic flights selected
c) Characteristics of interest is the safety in travelling by air in Airplanes due to air quality.
