Answer:
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to
where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
In this problem we have
(h,k)=(1,-4)
substitute
we have
An x-intercept of (-1,0)
substitute and solve for a
The equation is
<u><em>Verify the y-intercept</em></u>
For x=0
The y-intercept is the point (0,-3) -----> is correct
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
we are given
basketball player Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons makes free throw shots 88% of the time
so, probability of making shot is
=88%
so, p=0.88
To find the probability of missing first shot and making the second shot
so, we can use formula
probability = p(1-p)
now, we can plug values
we get
So, the probability that he misses his first shot and makes the second is 0.1056........Answer
