Using mathematical operations and ratios, the number of questions that the other kids answered incorrectly was <u>1 each</u>.

<h3>What are the mathematical operations?</h3>

The mathematical operations include these four basic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

These mathematical operations and ratios, which set one value equal to another, are used to solve mathematical problems.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The number of questions = 20

Marks awarded to each question = 3 points

Average incorrect answers by Chris = 6

Average performance = 50%

Above average performance = 90%

Incorrect answers by other students = 10% (1 - 90%)

<h3>Incorrect performance ratios:</h3>

Chris = 50%

Four students = 10%

= 5 : 1

Chris' ratio = 5/6

Four students = 1/6

The number of questions that the four other students answered incorrectly was <u>1 question</u> (6/50% x 10%) or (6 x 1/6).

Thus, the other kids answered <u>1 question</u> each incorrectly.

<h3>Question Completion:</h3>

A test has 20 questions. The test awards 3 points if the answer is correct and takes away 1 point if the answer is incorrect. Five students took the test, but four of the five students perform above average (90%). Chris, an average student (50%), answered 6 questions incorrectly. How many questions did the other kids answer incorrectly?

PLEASE HELP, BEEN STUCK FOR AN HOUR

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch a quadratic function we need two things:

1) Nature of the curve

2) Vertex

3) y-intercept

The completing square form of the quadratic equation is:

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

where,

a represents the nature of the graph it can be maximum or minimum , meaning, if a > 0 then minimum(u shaped curve/happy face) and if a < 0 then maximum(n shaped curve/sad face).

h represents the x-coordinate of the vertex.

k represents the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Now if we compare g(x) with our completing square form we get the following:

$g(x)=(x-4)^2+12\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\$

When we simply compare the following we get ,

a = 1 , which means a > 0 since 1 is greater than 0 the nature of the curve will be minimum(happy face/u shaped)

h = 4, which means the x-coordinate of the vertex is 4

k = 12, which means the y-coordinate of the vertex is 12

Now we have the nature of the curve, we have the vertex now all we need is the y-intercept.

For y-intercept:

For y-intercept meaning at which point will the graph cross the y-axis(0 , y)

For that we expand the formula and turn it into the standard quadratic equation form by using the formula (a - b)^2

$y=(x-4)^2+12\\y=((x)^2-2(x)(4)+(4)^2)+12\\y=x^2-8x+16+12\\y=x^2-8x+28\\$

now we compare with the standard quadratic form:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

here c is the y-intercept and while comparing we can see that c = 28 ,

so the curve cuts the y-axis at (0 , 28)

So we have all the three things that we need to graph our function.

So we just plot the y-intercept , the vertex , and join the dots. Just a tip draw a dotted line on the x-coordinate of the vertex because the vertex point is also called as a turning point where the graph goes in the opposite direction just like a mirror reflection. I attached 2 images you can check them out. One is handmade(i know i suck at drawing but still xD) , one is sketched by online graphing calculator.
