Answer:

a = 3

b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient function (y') = ax² + b

curve function (y) = 1/3 ax³ + bx + c  

pass (1,-11) : -11 = 1/3 a + b + c  ..... (1)

pass (2,-16) : -16 = 8/3 a + 2b + c  ..... (2)

slope at (2,-16) is 0 (its tangent parallel to x axis)

at (2 , -16) ax² + b = 0         4a + b = 0         b = -4a   .... (3)

(2) - (1) : -5 = 7/3 a + b = 7/3 a -4a = -5/3 a   ... (4)

3 x (4) : -15 = -5a            a = 3

b = -4a = -4 x 3 = -12

Which sample fairly represents the population? Select two options.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

b) observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses.

d) taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the two options that are most likely to give you a sample that fairly represents the population. In the first case, the sample that you obtain is likely to be a good representation because Main Street is a road where a great variety of people walk. Moreover, 5 pm is also a time that will allow you to see  a great number of different people. The second answer will also give you a good sample, as the poll would include all students in the lunch room, which is all students in the school (the whole population).
