Based on point P(0,16), we substitute in the parabola to find a.
16=a(0-3)^2-2 => a=(16+2)/9=2
so the parabola is
y=2(x-3)^2-2 ..........................(1)
Solve for zeroes of (1);
0=2(x-3)^2-2 => (x-3)^2=1 => x=2 or x=4
Now the line passes through (0,16), (4,0) => y,x intercepts are 16 & 4.
Using the symmetric form
x/4+y/16=1
4x+y=16 => y=16-4x
A. Not a proper counterexample as 3 and 5 aren't the same number. We can rule out choice A.
B. We can rule out choice B since we're not multiplying here
C. We are multiplying the same value with itself but the result is even. We can rule this out.
D. This is a proper counter example. We have the same number (5) multiplied by itself leading to a result that is not even. It contradicts the initial claim.
Answer: Choice D
The probability of the black sock is 6/26 for the white is 16/26 and for the brown is 4/26
A equals 3 because 87 divided by 29 equals 3. You can check this by doing 29 times 3 which equals 87. Hope that Helped!
It too would be tripled along with everything else.
