We can calculate the speed to be
.. (36 mi)(0.75 h) = 48 mi/h
or we can just assume that is what it is based on the fact that 48 is the only number in any of the offered answers.
distance = speed * time
.. y = 48 * x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . corresponds to selection A
_____
There is no question 17.
_____
15. All sections of the graph are linear. All sections except Q show the function increasing (left to right, which is how we talk about it). Thus selection B is the only sensible one.
Answer:
Option D is right
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the average core for a class of 28 students taking a calculus midterm exam was 72%
Parameters are numbers that summarize data for an entire population. Statistics are numbers that summarize data from a sample, i.e. some subset of the entire population.
From the above we see that the measurements pertaining to samples are statistics.
Thus 72 is a statistic
Option D is right
f(x) = (x -
)² - 
the equation of a quadratic in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
given a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
= - 
f(x) = x² - 11x + 9 is in standard form
with a = 1, b = - 11 and c = 9
= -
= 
substitute this value into the equation for y- coordinate
y = (
)² - 11(
) + 9
=
-
+
= - 
f(x) = (x -
)² -
← in vertex form
1/2 - 3/8 = 4/8 - 3/8 = 1/8
you have to find a common denominator before you can subtract. in this case it is 8
