It will be an underestimate the answer is 43 I hoped that helped?
Let's put it this way: If you plot a few non-x-intercept points and then draw a curvy line through them,you will not know if you got the x-intercepts even close to being correct. <span>The only way you can be sure of your x-intercepts is to set the quadratic equal to zero and solve. So its a matter of guessing from the pictures. Basicaly said, the calculator won't give you the exact result.</span>
Matrix :
1 4 4
5 2 2
1 5 5
=> Determinant =
1 * (2*5 - 2*5) - 4 * (5*5 - 1*2) + 4 * ( 5*5 - 2*1)
= 1*(10 - 10) - 4*(25 - 2) + 4*(25 -2) = 1*0 + 4* 23 + 4*(25 - 2) = 0 - 4*23 + 4*23 = 0
Answer: 0
infinitely many solutions
Cost/gallon
67.50/23 = x/1
23x = 67.50
23x/23 = 67.50/23
x = 2.93
they spent approximately $2.93 per gallon on gas
