Answer:
Procedure:
1) Form a system of 3 linear equations based on the two zeroes and a point.
2) Solve the resulting system by analytical methods.
3) Substitute all coefficients.
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic function is a polynomial of the form:
(1)
Where:
- Independent variable.
- Dependent variable.
,
,
- Coefficients.
A value of
is a zero of the quadratic function if and only if
. By Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, quadratic functions with real coefficients may have two real solutions. We know the following three points:
,
and 
Based on such information, we form the following system of linear equations:
(2)
(3)
(4)
There are several forms of solving the system of equations. We decide to solve for all coefficients by determinants:







And finally we obtain the equation of the quadratic function given two zeroes and a point.
X = number of dimes
x + 2 = number of nickels
3(x + 2) = number of pennies
10x + 5(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 52
10x + 5x + 10 + 3x + 6 = 52
18x = 36
x = 2
x = 2 (number of dimes)
x + 2 = 4 (number of nickels)
3(x + 2) = 12 (number of pennies)
Check:
2(10) = 20 cents in dimes
4(5) = 20 cents in nickels
12(1) = 12 cents in pennies
Total = 52 cents
To be a function every input value (x) can only have one output value (y)
On the graph there are 2 out put values for x = 2 so it is not a function.
The answer would be C.
