Each month, Nadeem keeps track of the number of times he visits the library and the number of books he checks out Is there a correlation you model his data with a linear equation? Is there a causal relationship?

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

sorry, i don't know i just need points, i'm new here. chao

step-by-step explanation:

an equation by definition has to have two or more variables (x and 2 in this case)
