first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.
let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

5/9 equals 0.5555555556
The rounded answer would be 0.6

if you have base ten blocks you can figure out the answer
Answer: 108 degrees
============================================================
Explanation:
Angle ABC is given to be 90 degrees. By the converse of Thales Theorem, we know that AC is a diameter of the circle.
If we draw a line from A to C, it will pass through the center of the circle.
Therefore, arc AC is 180 degrees as this is half the distance around the circle.
minor arc AD = 72
minor arc CD = x
(minor arc AD) + (minor arc CD) = arc AC
72+x = 180
72+x-72 = 180-72
x = 108
minor arc CD is 108 degrees
P(A) = 0.993 is the probability of event A
_
P(A) is the probability of not A (note that I am trying to place a bar over A. I hope you can see it, else it is because the editor did not show it as I intended)
Then, use the fact that the probability of A plus the probability not A is equal to 1:
_
=> P(A) + P(A) = 1
_
=> P(A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.993 = 0.007
So, the answers are:
_
1) P(A) = 0.07
_
2) Yes, A is unlikely because its probability is very low.
