Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
An outlier can affect the mean by a lot. For example, if my neighbor moves out and Bill Gates moves in (he would be a <u>super</u> outlier!), the mean annual income would increase enormously.
The median, on the other hand, would not change at all. The income in the middle is still the income in the middle; Gates' income would not budge the median.
Since these are parabolas with y being squared, the standard form of such a parabola with vertex at (h, k) is
<span>x = a(y - k)^2 + h </span>
<span>There are no steps. Just look at what is inside the parentheses and compare it to (y - k) with k = -3. </span>
<span>Then look at what is added and compare it to h = -1. </span>
<span>For instance, A has (y + 1) in parentheses. So k = -1. And it has -3 added, so h = -3. That would be a vertex at (-3, -1).</span>
