Answer:
-2x^2 + 3x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = ax^2 + bx + c
(0,-1):
-1 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c
-1 = 0 + 0 + c
-1 = c
(1,0):
0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + c
0 = a + b + c
(2,-3):
-3 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + c
-3 = 4a + 2b + c
Replace c with -1
0 = a + b -1
1 = a + b
-3 = 4a + 2b -1
-2 = 4a + 2b
-1 = 2a + b
Solve:
2a + b = -1
-1a - b = -1
a = -2
2a + b = -1
-2a -2b = -2
-b = -3 divide both by -1: b = 3
a = -2; b = 3; c = -1
y = ax^2 + bx + c or y = -2x^2 +3x -1
3 meters would be your answer
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
probability = wanted outcomes / total outcomes
odds = wanted outcomes / unwanted outcomes
Odds of 3:5 losing means 3 losing outcomes and 5 winning outcomes.
The total outcomes is 8
The probability of losing which is the probability that the event will fail to occur is 3/8.

Answer: Choice B</h3>
The set notation includes all values from -5 to 0, but the domain only includes the integer values
eg: something like -1.2 is in the second set, but it is not in the set {-5,-4,-3,-2,-1}
==========================================================
Further explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices one by one
- A. This is false because 0 does not come before -5, but instead -5 is listed first. The order -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0 is correct meaning that
is the correct order as well. - B. This is true. A value like x = -1.2 is in the set
since -1.2 is between -5 and 0; but -1.2 is not in the set {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}. So the distinction is that we're either considering integers only or all real numbers in this interval. To ensure that we only look at integers, the student would have to write 
. The portion 
means "x is in the set of integers". The Z refers to the German word Zahlen, which translates to "numbers". - C. This is false. The student used the correct inequality signs to indicate x is -5 or larger and also 0 or smaller; basically x is between -5 and 0 inclusive of both endpoints. The "or equal to" portions indicate we are keeping the endpoints and not excluding them.
- D. This is false. Writing
would not make any sense. This is because that compound inequality breaks down into 
. Try to think of a number that is both smaller than -5 AND also larger than 0. It can't be done. No such number exists.
