The prizes at a carnival tossing game are different stuffed animals. There are 34 tigers, 27 bears, 12 hippopotamuses, 16 giraffes, and 22 monkeys. The carnival manager randomly selects a prize when a player wins the game. Determine the probability that the prize selected is not a bear. Give your answer as a decimal, precise to three decimal places. Probability

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this

the equivalent expression are always the hardest ones but you look at the gcf also
