The function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic. Then the quadratic equation is y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

It is a polynomial that is equal to zero. Polynomial of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms are there. Any equation having one term in which the power of the variable is a maximum of 2 then it is called a quadratic equation.

The following scatter plot represents the height of a basketball in seconds during a free throw shot.

(a) A student chose to model the data with the function, y = 0.9286x + 9.0571 . Then the function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic.

(b) Write a function

We know that the quadratic equation is given as ax² + bx + c = y

This will pass through the points (1, 9.3), (2, 12.9), and (3, 14). Then we have

\rm a + b + c = 9.3  \ \ \  \ \ \ \ ...1\\\\4a + 2b + c = 12.9 \ \  \ ...2\\\\9a + 3b + c = 14 \  \ \ \ \ \ ...3

On solving the equations 1, 2, and 3. Then we have

a = -1.25, b = 7.35, and c = 3.2

Then the quadratic equation will be

y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2

More about the quadratic equation link is given below.

after allowing 20 percent discount on the marked price of a radio 15 percent vat is levied on it , if its price become rs 22080
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's say that the price was P, a real number.

After 20% discount it become P - 20% * P = P* (1-20%) = P * (1 - 0.2)

= P * 0.8

And then we take 15% for the VAT, the new price become P * 0.8 * ( 1 + 15%)

= P * 0.8 * 1.15

And this is equal to 22080, so

P * 0.8 * 1.15 = 22080

and the amount of the VAT is P *0.8 * 0.15

=\dfrac{22080}{1.15}*0.15=2880

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
