Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't have graphing facilities but can give you the vertex and 1 other point.

Given a parabola in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

x = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

y = - x² - 2x + 8 ← is in standard form

with a = - 1 and b = - 2 , then

x = - $\frac{-2}{-2}$ = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y

y = - (- 1)² - 2(- 1) + 8 = - 1 + 2 + 8 = 9

vertex = (- 1, 9 )

To obtain another point substitute any value for x into the equation

x = 0 : y = 0 - 0 + 8 , then (0, 8 ) is a point on the graph

x = 2 : y = - (2)² - 2(2) + 8 = - 4 - 4 + 8 = 0 then (2, 0 ) is a point on the graph

A test has 20 true/false questions. What is the probability that a student passes the test if they guess the answers? Passing me

Minchanka [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes, either the guess is correct, or it is not. The guess on a question is independent of any other question, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

There are 20 questions, hence $n = 20$ .

Each question has 2 options, one of which is correct, hence $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

The probability is:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0148$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.5)^{16}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.0046$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.5)^{17}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0011$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.5)^{18}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,19}.(0.5)^{19}.(0.5)^{1} = 0$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,20}.(0.5)^{20}.(0.5)^{0} = 0$

Then:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0148 + 0.0046 + 0.0011 + 0.0002 + 0 + 0 = 0.0207$

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.

Consider the following system of equations.

34kurt

Answer:

D. The graphs of the equations intersect each other at two places.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a solution of a system of two equations in two variables is a point where the graphs intersect. A system of equations having graphs that intersect each other will have as many solutions as there are intersection points. If the graphs intersect in two places, there will be two solutions.
