The variable x is the weight of the letter and they subtract 1 from that, so adding the 0.50 at the end of the equation would be the cost for a one ounce letter.

The answer is:

A) The cost, in dollars, to mail a one ounce letter

dem82 [27]

Two distinct roots means two real solutions for x (the parabola needs to cross the x-axis twice)

Vertex form of a quadratic equation: (h,k) is vertex

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

The x of the vertex needs to equal 3

y = a(x-3)^2 + k

In order to have two distinct roots the parabola must be (+a) upward facing with vertex below the x-axis or (-a) downward facing with vertex above the x-axis. Parabolas are symmetrical so for an easy factorable equation make "a" 1 or -1 depending on if you want the upward/downward facing one.

y = (x-3)^2 - 1

Vertex (3,-1) upwards facing with two distinct roots 4 and 2

y = x^2 -6x + 9 - 1

y = x^2 -6x + 8

y = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Katarina [22]
Prove:

The angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle. 

The inscribed angle theorem states that the angle θ, inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle of the circle. So, if the given is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle.  <span />

RUDIKE [14]
The correct answer to this question is that "<span>The experimental probability is 1/15 less than the theoretical probability."

The table as attached via image shows that the probability of getting a Jack is 2/5, getting a Queen is 4/15, and King is 1/3. That is the theoretical probability of each card to be drawn according to its frequency.
