Answer:
f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the quadratic function be y = f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.
For the point (-2, 8) ( x = -2 when y = 8) we have:
a(-2)^2 + (-2)b + c = 8
4a - 2b + c = 8 For (0, -4) we have:
0 + 0 + c = -4 so c = -4. For (4, 68) we have:
16a + 4b + c = 68
So we have 2 systems of equations in a and b ( plugging in c = -4):
4a - 2b - 4 = 8
16a + 4b - 4 = 68
4a - 2b = 12
16a + 4b = 72 Multiplying 4a - 2b = 12 by 2 we get:
8a - 4b = 24
Adding the last 2 equations:
24a = 96
a = 4
Now plugging a = 4 and c = -4 in the first equation:
4(4) - 2b - 4 = 8
-2b = 8 - 16 + 4 = -4
b = 2.
Lets begin with our y=mx+b, our constant(b) is 800 that she earns as a salary, our x represents the amount she sells, m then represents the commission which is 8.25% so converting that to a decimal and replacing it as m gets us y = 0.0825x+800. Replace $4500 for x and we have y=0.0825(4500)+800 solve and we get $1171.25

Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.7762
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
Population mean = 6.20 bl/s
Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.
x = 5 bl/s
z = 5 - 6.20/1.58
z = -0.75949
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<5) = 0.22378
P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)
= 1 - 22378
= 0.77622
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762

Answer:
i. Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Colonel's location be represented by A, the Sarge's by B and that of campfire by C.
The total angle at the campfire from both the Colonel and Sarge = 
+ 
= 
Thus,
<CAB = 
- = 
<CBA = - = 
Sine rule states;
= 
= 
i. Colonel's distance from the campfire (b), can be determined by applying the sine rule;
=
= 
= 
cross multiply,
b = 
= 200.8993
Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge's distance from the campfire (a), can be determined by applying the sine rule;
=
=
=
cross multiply,
a = 
= 124.8073
Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
