X, x+1, x+2, x+3 - four consecutive integers

The integers are 169, 170, 171 and 172.
So
y=ax^2+bx+c
(x,y)
sub the points and solve
(4.28,6.48)
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)+c
(12.61,15.04)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)+c
well, for 3 variables, we need equations and therefor 3 points
maybe we are supposed to assume it starts at (0,0)
so then
0=a(0)^2+b(0)+c
0=c
so then
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
solve for a by subsitution
first equation, minut a(4.28)^2 from both sides
6.48-a(4.28)^2=b(4.28)
divide both sides by 4.28
(6.48/4.28)-4.28a=b
sub that for b in other equation
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+((6.48/4.28)-4.28a)(12.61)
expand
15.04 =a(12.61)^2+(81.7128/4.28)-53.9708a
minus (81.7128/4.28) both sides
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a(12.61)^2-53.9708a
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a((12.61)^2-53.9708)
(15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708))=a
that's the exact value of a
to find b, subsitute to get
(6.48/4.28)-4.28((15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708)))=b
if we aprox
a≈-0.038573167896199
b≈1.6791118501845
so then the equation is
y=-0.038573167896199x²+1.6791118501845x

What
are you calculating area or circumference??
Hello there!
For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!
The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.
So:
1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12
2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12
Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).
When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).
So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours
Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)
Hope this helped!
