Our parabola open downward and therefore a is negative.

Explanation:
As value of a changes from positive to negative or from negative to positive, the direction of opening changes. For negative values of a we got negative parabolas that open downward. As the original formula y = x^2 we see that x^2 will always be positive because when you square a number it always gives positive value. Therefore the direction for which it will open, depends on value of a.

Answer:

The parabola is vertical (opens up or down).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x is squared or if a is positive, the parabola opens up or to the right. If it is negative, it opens down or to the left. The vertex is at (h, k).

Mary is three times older than seth is. if their ages total 76, how old is mary. Please answer ASAP
DedPeter [7]

Mary = 3x

Seth = X

If we know that Mary is three times older than Seth, we can set this up into an equation.

3x + x = 76

Now, we can simplify on the left side by adding the Xs together.

4x = 76

X = 19

Therefore, Seth is 19 years old and Mary is 57 years old.

(Find the expected value of the winnings from a game that has the following payout probability)
uysha [10]

Answer:

The expected value is $2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have an event with some given outcomes:

x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ

Such that each one of these outcomes has the correspondent probability:

p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ

The expected value is:

EV = p₁*x₁ + ... + pₙ*xₙ

In this case we have a table with the events (the payouts) and the probability for each one, so we have:

x₁ = $0

p₁ = 0.5

x₂ = $2

p₂ = 0.2

x₃ = $4

p₃ = 0.15

x₄ = $6

p₄ = 0.1

x₅ = $10

p₅ = 0.05

Now we can just replace these in the expected value equation, so we get:

EV = $0*0.5 + $2*0.2 + $4*0.15 + $6*0.1 + $10*0.05 = $2.1
