5x^2 - (2x - 3)^2 =
5x^2 - ((2x - 3)(2x - 3)) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 6x - 6x + 9) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 12x + 9) =
5x^2 - 4x^2 + 12x - 9 =
x^2 + 12x - 9 <===
1/3(12x-24)=16
*3 *3
12x-24=48
+24 +24
12x=72
/12 /12
x=6
Answer:
The quadratic function whose graph contains these points is 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a quadratic function is a function of the form
. The first step is use the 3 points given to write 3 equations to find the values of the constants <em>a</em>,<em>b</em>, and <em>c</em>.
Substitute the points (0,-2), (-5,-17), and (3,-17) into the general form of a quadratic function.



We can solve these system of equations by substitution
- Substitute


- Isolate a for the first equation

- Substitute
into the second equation



The solutions to the system of equations are:
b=-2,a=-1,c=-2
So the quadratic function whose graph contains these points is

As you can corroborate with the graph of this function.
