Answer:
y = (x -1)² -16
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the location of the vertex (point A) on the graph. Its x-coordinate is readily identifiable as 1. Its y-coordinate is some value between -15 and -20, closer to -15. (If you go to the trouble of finding the vertex coordinates, you discover they are (1, -16).)
Once you have determined what the vertex is, you can compare the offered answer choices to the vertex form ...
y = (x -h)² +k
where (h, k) are the vertex coordinates. That is, you are looking for an answer choice that is something like ...
y = (x -1)² -16

solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)
Given that half of the personal music players sold by a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 20% fail in the first six months.
Let A be the event that it fails in I 6 months
B1 = it has a flaw
B2 = it does not have a flaw
B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive
the chances that it has this flaw
=The probability that it has the flaw is
Since a small drink is the cheapest, make the cost of a small drink=x. Since a large drink costs 50 cents more than a small drink, let a large drink=x+50. The total of the drinks is the sum of the individuals. Since the cost of a small drink is x, 3 drinks cost 3x. Since the cost of a large drink is x+50, the cost of 2 drinks is 2(x+50). The cost of all of the drinks together is 3x+2(x+50). Distribute the 2. 3x+2x+100. Combine like terms. 5x+100. This will give you your answer in cents. If you need an answer in dollars, you multiply that expression by 0.01.
