Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)
In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:
y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:
-3=a(0-1)^2+1
-3=a+1
-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x-1)^2+1
Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so
0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides
4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4
(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides
x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to
x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides
x=1±1/2
So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:
(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:
(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
Mean is average
so we have 4 numbers
sum them then divide by 4
(32+31+37+44)=144
divide by 4
144/4=36
answer is C
<h2>Answer: 250 Hamburgers sold</h2><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h2><u><em>x = hamburgers
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>y = cheeseburgers
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>x+y=434
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>66 fewer cheeseburgers than hamburgers
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>y = x - 66

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
|-3| means the absolute value of -3. The absolute value sign means the number without its negative. The dictionary says: the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign.
So |-3|= 3 and -3= -3
