Answer:
The value is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The total number of cars is 
The number cars considered is 
Generally the number of different top three finishes possible for this race of 35 cars is mathematically represented as
A Least Square Regression Line is the best thing to use for this because there is inconsistencies and no direct equation to be able to fill all of these points. They may be outliers and therefore we should use a calculator for a Regression Line to be calculated to find the residual.
1) For each of these, keep in mind vertex form: f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k. With vertex form, a is the direction and width, h is the horizontal placement of the vertex, and k is the vertical placement. For the first one, notice that "a" is positive 1, so it faces up. This means that D, the one facing down, cannot be the answer. "h" is 1, so we will move the vertex to the right one unit (keep in mind (x-h), so if it were to be (h+3) you would move it to the left, not the right). "k" is -3, so we would move the vertex down 3 units. That said, the vertex should be at (1,-3) so the answer is C, or the one right below the first one.
2) The graph of f(x)=|2x| translated 5 units to the left means that h is equal to -5. When we plug -5 into vertex form, it should look like: g(x)=|2(x+5)|. The answer to this is A.
3) The equation for reflection on the x axis is f(x)=-a(x-h)+k. So, if the parent function f(x)=4|x| were to be reflected on the x axis, the function would look like this: g(x)=-4|x|. The answer to this should be B.
4) Since h=1 and k=0 in the function f(x)=-3|x-1|, the vertex will be (1,0).
5) This can also be written as g(x)=|x|-3. This means that k=-3, and will be a vertical translation of 3 units down.
So it’s basically asking for the difference
