Answer: -9.1

Explanation
-3x +12.4=39.7
First minus 12.4 from both sides

-3x +12.4=39.7
-12.4 -12.4
-3x=27.3
Now devid both sides by -3
X= -9.1

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through (3,-30) and has x-intercepts of -2 and 18. Then find the average rate of cha

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ . The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that $(3, -30)$ , $(-2, 0)$ and $(18, 0)$ are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

$9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30$

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0$

$324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0$

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

$a = \frac{2}{5}$ , $b = -\frac{32}{5}$ , $c = -\frac{72}{5}$ .

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ .

Now, we calculate the average rate of change ( $r$ ), dimensionless, between $x = -2$ and $x = 8$ by using the formula of secant line slope:

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{8-(-2)}$

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{10}$

$x = -2$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (-2)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (-2)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(-2) = 0$

$x = 8$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (8)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (8)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(8) = -40$

$r = \frac{-40-0}{10}$

$r = -4$

The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

A child is hopping along a sidewalk. The ratio table below shows the comparison between the number of hops and the distance trav

natima [27]

First we rewrite the table:
20 30
50 75
80 120
150 ?
We observe that for each 30 number of hops, the distance increases by 45 feet.
We must find the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (75-30) / (50-20)
m = 1.5
Then, the line is:
y = 1.5x
We substitute x = 150
y = 1.5 * (150)
y = 225
Answer:
Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1: 1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5.
