In matrix form, this is

The coefficient matrix has determinant

so it has an inverse, which is

Multiply both sides by the inverse matrix:


so that
and
.

He scored 85%
(17/20)%
85%
Let A( t , f( t ) ) be the point(s) at which the graph of the function has a horizontal tangent => f ' ( t ) = 0.
But, f ' ( x ) = [ ( x^2 ) ' * ( x - 1 ) - ( x^2 ) * ( x - 1 )' ] / ( x - 1 )^2 =>
f ' ( x ) = [ 2x( x - 1 ) - ( x^2 ) * 1 ] / ( x - 1 )^2 => f ' ( x ) = ( x^2 - 2x ) / ( x - 1 )^2;
f ' ( t ) = 0 <=> t^2 - 2t = 0 <=> t * ( t - 2 ) = 0 <=> t = 0 or t = 2 => f ( 0 ) = 0; f ( 2 ) = 4 => A 1 ( 0 , 0 ) and A 2 ( 2 , 4 ).
the answer is b 1/8 because 3/4 = 6/8 and 7/8-6/8=1/8
