NOTES:

Given a quadratic function in standard format (y = ax² + bx + c), the direction of the parabola is as follows:

if "a" is positive, then opens UP
if "a" is negative, then opens DOWN

Given a quadratic function in standard format (y = ax² + bx + c), the vertex can be found as follows:

the Axis Of Symmetry (x-value) is: x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$
y-value is found by plugging in the AOS for "x" in the equation

****************************************************************************************

1) y = x² + 11x + 24

a = +1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-11}{2(1)}$ = $-\frac{11}{2}$

y = $(-\frac{11}{2})^{2}$ + 11 $(-\frac{11}{2} )$ + 24 = $-\frac{25}{4}$

vertex $(-\frac{11}{2}$ , $-\frac{25}{4})$ is in Quadrant 3 and is below the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-3, 0) and (-8, 0), and y-intercept (0, 24)

******************************************************************************************

2) y = -x² - 6x - 8

a = -1 so the parabola opens DOWN

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-(-6)}{2(-1)}$ = $\frac{6}{-2}$ = -3

y = -(-3)² - 6(-3) - 8 = -9 + 18 - 8 = 1

vertex (-3, 1) is in Quadrant 2 and is above the x-axis

This could NOT be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-2, 0) and (-4, 0), and y-intercept (0, -8)

******************************************************************************************

3) y = x² - 2x + 3

a = 1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}$ = $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1

y = (1)² - 2(1) + 3 = 1 - 2 + 3 = 2

vertex (1, 2) is in Quadrant 1 and is above the x-axis

This could NOT be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, y-intercept (0, 3), and its mirror image (2, 3). <em>There are no x-intercepts</em>

******************************************************************************************

4) y = x² + 4x + 4

a = 1 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-4}{2(1)}$ = -2

y = (-2)² + 4(-2) + 4 = 4 - 8 + 4 = 0

vertex (-2, 0) is in Quadrant 2 and is on the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, y-intercept (0, 4), and its mirror image (-4, 4). <em>The x-intercept is the vertex.</em>

Compared to the other four graphs, this is most likely the equation for the rain gauge!

******************************************************************************************

5) y = 3x² + 21x + 30

a = +3 so the parabola opens UP

x = $\frac{-b}{2a}$ = $\frac{-21}{2(3)}$ = $-\frac{7}{2}$

y = 3 $(-\frac{7}{2})^{2}$ + 21 $(-\frac{7}{2} )$ + 30 = $-\frac{27}{4}$

vertex $(-\frac{7}{2}$ , $-\frac{27}{4})$ is in Quadrant 3 and is below the x-axis

This COULD be the graph of the rain gauge.

The graph should contain the vertex, x-intercepts (-2, 0) and (-5, 0), and y-intercept (0, 30)

Baker, Inc. uses the sum-of-the-years’-digits method to depreciate a $79,600.00 piece of equipment that has an estimated life of

Anastasy [175]

The book value at the end of year 2 of the equipment depreciated using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method is $65,560.

<h3>What is the book value at the end of year 2? </h3>

Depreciation is a method used to expense the cost of an asset. Book value is the cost of the asset less the accumulated depreciation.

Sum-of-the-year digits = (remaining useful life / sum of the years ) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

Depreciation expense in year 1:

Sum of the years = 1 +2 +3 +4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10+ 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 = 210

Undepreciated life of the asset = 20

(20 / 210) x ($79,600 - 4,000) = 7200

Depreciation expense in year 2:

19 / 210 x ($79,600 - 4,000) = 6840

Book value = 79600 - 7200 - 6840 = $65,560

When Colton commutes to work, the amount of time it takes him to arrive is normally distributed with a mean of 41 minutes and a

N76 [4]

Answer:

(34, 48)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Empirical Rule, 95% of normally distributed data lie within two standard deviations of the mean. That, in turn, means 95% of the data in this problem lie within 2(3.5 min), or 7 min, of the mean:

41 - 7 < mean < 41 + 7, or

34 < mean < 48, or simply (34, 48)
