Consider the quadratic function.

Mathematics
1 answer:

A standard form for the quadratic function is
f(x) = ax² + bx + c
where the coefficients are a,b, and c.

The given quadratic function is 
f(p) = p² - 8p - 5
When this function is compared to the standard form, with p replacing x, we obtain
a = 1  because the leading term is 1*p²,
b = -8 because the linear term is -8*p,
c = -5 because the constant term is -5.

Answer:
Of the answers given the correct one is the 3rd one:
a = 1, b = -8, c = -5.

Solve the following addition and subtraction problems. a. 3 km 9 hm 9 dam 19 m + 7 km 7 dam b. 5 sq.km 95 ha 8,994 sq.m + 11 sq.
kipiarov [429]
As a general rule to solve the problem we are going to transform all values to the lower unit.  
a. 3 km 9 hm 9 dam 19 m + 7 km 7 dam
  3,000 m 900 m 90 m 19 m + 7,000 m 70 m = 4,009 + 7,070 = 11,079 m 
  b. 5 sq.km 95 ha 8,994 sq.m + 11 sq. km. 11 ha 9,010 sq. m.
  5,000,000 sq m 95,0000 sq m 8,994 sq m + 11,000,000 sq m 110,000 sq
9,010 sq m
  5,103,994 sq m + 11,119,010 sq m = 16,223,004 sq m 
 c. 44 m – 5 dm
  44 m - 0.5 m = 43.5 m 
 d. 73 km 47 hm 2 dam - 11 km 55 hm

  73,000 m 4,700 m 20 m - 11,000 m 5,500 m 
77,720 m - 16,500 m = 61,220 m

Explain why the vertical line test is used to determine if a graph represents a function.
Aleksandr [31]
Hi there Mary Dominguez, So what a vertical line test down is to find out if a particular graph is a function or not. What you do is take a vertical strait line and move it right to left or left to right, depending on your preference, along the X axis. The reason this works is a function can not have an x that has 2 different y values. If we use the vertical line test on a graph with say a graph that has (2,3) and (2,4) we can use the vertical line test and see that the line hits 2 points at once which means its not a function :)

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

I hope this image and explanation helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

All students in the eighth grade were surveyed, so we can make the valid conclusion that 18% of all students in the eighth grade at Lincoln Junior High School have pancakes as their favorite breakfast.

However, the question did not ask about the students' favorite meal of the day, so we cannot draw any valid conclusions about the students' favorite meal.

The valid conclusion:

18% of all students in the eighth grade at Lincoln Junior High School have pancakes as their favorite breakfast, but we cannot conclude anything about the percent of the population who have breakfast as their favorite meal.
