Given:
The equations of parabolas in the options.
To find:
The steepest parabola.
Solution:
We know that, if a parabola is defined as
Then, the greater absolute value of n, the steeper the parabola.
It can be written as
where 
, the smaller absolute value of p, the steeper the parabola.
Now, find the value of |p| for eac equation
For option A, 
For option B, 
For option C, 
For option D, 
Since, the equation is option A has smallest value of |p|, therefore, the equation 
represents the steepest parabola.
Hence, the correct option is A.

Answer:
x = (ab +a +b +c)/(a +b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses, subtract left terms not containing x, divide by the coefficient of x.
Answer:
(a) 0.4242
(b) 0.0707
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of ways of selecting 8 herbs from 12 is
(a) If 2 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 2 = 6 herbs to be selected from 12 - 8 = 10. The number of ways of the selection is then
Note that this is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 2! if any of them were to be included.
The probability = 
(b) If 5 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 5 = 3 herbs to be selected from 12 - 5 = 7. The number of ways of the selection is then
This is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 5! if any of them were to be included. In that case, our probability will exceed 1; this implies that certainly, at least, one of them is included.
The probability = 
We Can Let "A Number" Be M.
M Divided By 3 Less Than Itself Gives Quotient Of 8/5.
M/(M-3) = 8/5. Lets Solve.
So, What Number Can Have 3 Subtracted From It To Get Five, But Also Be Equal To Eight?
Eight Of Course!!!
So, We Know That The Number Equals 8.
