Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c. describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the quadratic function f(x) = -x^2 - 6x. The parabola faces downward with y -intercept (-3,9) and zeros (-6,0) and (0,0). See the attached graph.

The axis of symmetry will serve as a ladder through the coaster at x = -3.

1. sometimes

2.   never

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
