X2 - 2x + 9x - 18
X2 + 7x - 18
Answer:
= 
To find equivalent fractions, multiply be any number that is the same for the numerator/denominator
You can also divide, but it must be divisible by both the numerator/denominator
Its b, no matter what, he has to pay 18 dollars which effects the y intercept
14.6 lbs/4 weeks = 3.65 lbs /week
she lost 3.65 pounds each week
Remark.
The problem is a bit indistinct. Where exactly are the two edges of the road? I'm going to say that they are the x intercepts, but that may not be true. Certainly it does not have to be true at all.
Graph.
A graph has been made for you. The maximum is marked for you. It is an approximation The actual height can be more accurately found.
Height
y = (-1/200)(x - 16)(x + 16)
y = (-1/200)*(x^2 - 256)
The maximum height for this graph only is when x = 0.Other graphs require completing the square.
y = (-1/200) * (-256)
y = 1.28 exactly. I thought the graph might be rounding the answer. It is not.
