We know that this is a parabola, as the equation is denoted by the x^2 term.
We can see that the symmetry is seen at the point -0.5, therefore making the axis of symmetry the vertical line -0.5.
The vertex is found in quadrant three. In other words, it will shift by a negative value both horizontally and vertically. The vertex is therefore (-0.5, -0.5).
We can verify this in the equations by using the formula (-b/2a) to find the vertex. The only quadratic equation that satisfies this is -2x^2 + 2x -1.
To sum it up, the answers are:
-2x^2 + 2x - 1.
AoS: x = -0.5
Vertex: (-0.5, -0.5).
Answer:
60/25 is greater than 60/132
f(3) = -4 as 3 lies between 2 and 5
You can solve the median by putting all the numbers in order. Then cross off one at a time at the start, then cross off the one at the end, then keep going until you get to one.
You can solve the mode by looking for the most frequent number. I remembered that by looking at mode and seeing MO and remembering most often.
I hope this helps :-)
