The graph of which function will have a maximum and a y-intercept of 4?
f(x) = 4x2 + 6x – 1
f(x) = –4x2 + 8x + 5
f(x) = –x2 + 2x + 4
f(x) = x2 + 4x – 4

Option C (f(x) = )

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the first step is to write the general form of the quadratic equation, which is f(x) = , where a, b, and c are the arbitrary constants. There are certain characteristics of the values of a, b, and c which determine the nature of the function. If a is a positive coefficient (i.e. if a>0), then the quadratic function is a minimizing function. On the other hand, a is negative (i.e. if a<0), then the quadratic function is a maximizing function. Since the latter condition is required, therefore, the first option and the last option are incorrect. The features of the values of b are irrelevant in this question, so that will not be discussed here. The value of c is actually the y-intercept of the quadratic equation. Since the y-intercept is 4, the correct choice for this question will be Option C. In short, Option C fulfills both the criteria of the function which has a maximum and a y-intercept of 4!!!

step-by-step explanation:

given the function as;

write the equation replacing f(x) with y

form   and fill a table containing values of y with corresponding values of x

you can take a range for   values of x as -3≤x≤3

solving for x=-3

for x=-2

repeat the same procedure to get the values of y for the remaining ,x=-1 to x=3

plot the values of y against values   of x and obtain the following graph

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
