The answer is the first answer choice
Answer:
Explanation given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to put the parabola in the form
, which is the <em>standard form of a parabola</em>
<em />
<u>Note:</u> a is the coefficient before x^2 term, b is the coefficient before x term, and c is the independent constant term
The axis of symmetry divides the parabola symmetrically. The axis of symmetry has the equation 
Where <em><u>a and b are the respective values shown above</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
So, that is how you get the axis of symmetry of any parabola.
6x4 is the anwser because since there are 6 ounces so you got to multiply 6x4 which is 24
A plausible guess might be that the sequence is formed by a degree-4* polynomial,

From the given known values of the sequence, we have

Solving the system yields coefficients

so that the n-th term in the sequence might be

Then the next few terms in the sequence could very well be

It would be much easier to confirm this had the given sequence provided just one more term...
* Why degree-4? This rests on the assumption that the higher-order forward differences of
eventually form a constant sequence. But we only have enough information to find one term in the sequence of 4th-order differences. Denote the k-th-order forward differences of
by
. Then
• 1st-order differences:

• 2nd-order differences:

• 3rd-order differences:

• 4th-order differences:

From here I made the assumption that
is the constant sequence {15, 15, 15, …}. This implies
forms an arithmetic/linear sequence, which implies
forms a quadratic sequence, and so on up
forming a quartic sequence. Then we can use the method of undetermined coefficients to find it.
