What factor or factors may reduce risk? (5 points)

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Crank

Option D: $f(x)=-2(x+2)(x-4)$ is the function

Explanation:

Let the general form of quadratic equation be $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$

The function passes through the intercepts $(-2,0)$ and $(4,0)$ and also passes though the point $(-1,10)$

Substituting the points $(-2,0)$ , $(4,0)$ and $(-1,10)$ in the equation $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$ , we get,

$4a -2b+c=0$ -----------(1)

$16a +4b+c=0$ ----------(2)

$a-b+c=10$ -----------(3)

Subtracting (1) and (2), we get,

$\ \ 4a -2b+c=0\\ 16a +4b+c=0\\\---------\\ \ \ -12a-6b=0$ -----------(4)

Subtracting (2) and (3), we get,

$16a +4b+c=0\\\ \ a \ \ - \ \ b \ +c=10\\---------\\15a+5b=-10$ ------------(5)

Multiplying equation (4) by 5 and equation (5) by 4, to cancel the term b when adding, we get,

$-60a-30b=0\\\ 90a+30b=-60\\--------\\30a=-60\\\ \ a=-2$

Thus, the value of a is $a=-2$

Substituting $a=-2$ in equation (4), we get,

$\begin{aligned}-12 a+6 b &=0 \\-12(-2)-6 b &=0 \\ 24-6 b &=0 \\ 24 &=6 b \\ 4 &=b \end{aligned}$

Thus, the value of b is $b=4$

Now, substituting the value of a and b in equation (1), we have,

$\begin{aligned} 4 a-2 b+c &=0 \\ 4(-2)-2(4)+c &=0 \\-8-8+c &=0 \\ c &=16 \end{aligned}$

Thus, the value of c is $c=16$

Now, substituting the value of a,b and c in the general formula $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$ , we get,

$y=-2x^{2} +4x+16$

Taking out the common term as -2 we get,

$y=-2(x^{2} -2x-8)$

Factoring , we get,

$y=-2(x+2)(x-4)$

Thus, the function is $f(x)=-2(x+2)(x-4)$

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. Delivery of 8 large boxes and 4 small boxes has a tot

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

x = 18.5 (large) , y = 6.25 (small)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by assigning variables to each type of box.

The large box we will call "x"

The small box we will call "y"

We know that 8x + 4y = 173 (kilograms)

And 3x + 2y = 68 (kilograms)

Since we set up a system of equations, we can now use elimination, by multiplying the entire bottom equation by -2, to get rid of the "y" variable.

8x + 4y = 173

3x(-2) + 2y(-2) = 68(-2)

-6x + -4y = -136 (side note: notice how the "y"'s would cancel each other out because -4y + 4y equals 0)

Add equations together:

2x = 37

x= 18.5

Now that we have x, just substitute it into any of the equations to get y.

You will see that y = 6.25

Please mark this brainliest, and I hope this helps!

inessss [21]

Answer:

| 157 +/- 145 |

Step-by-step explanation:

302-12 = 290 total range

290/2 = 145 absolute value range

| 157 +/- 145 |

The two answers to that are 12 and 301

Solve for the MNQ angle, please add steps and how to get the answer please and thank you

dusya [7]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 13 + 58 = 90

3x - 13 = 90 - 58

3x -13 = 32

3x = 32 + 13

x = 45/3

x = 15
