Like fractions are fractions with the same <em>denominator</em>. They are not necessary the same value.
The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.

Answer:
A.
, because probability values cannot be greater than 1.
C. -1.5, because probability values cannot be less than 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the extent to which an event is likely to happen. It ranges from 0(impossible) to 1(certain). Probability values can be written in decimal form or in fractional form.
The following numbers could not be used to represent the probability of an event.
A.
, because probability values cannot be greater than 1.
C. -1.5, because probability values cannot be less than 0.
