There seems to be a strange typo in problem 1, but I'm not sure. So I'll skip it and move onto problem 2

The answer to problem 2 is y = -0.125x^2 + 5.25x - 35.05

=======================================

Explanation:

We have the following points:

(12, 9.95) and (14, 13.95) and (16,16.95)

where x is the diameter in inches, y is the price in dollars

Use these three points to find the equation in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c

------------

Plug in (x,y) = (12,9.95). Isolate c

y = ax^2 + bx + c

9.95 = a(12)^2 + b(12) + c

9.95 = 144a + 12b + c

9.95-144a-12b = c

c = 9.95-144a-12b

------------

Plug in (x,y) = (14, 13.95)

Also, plug in c = 9.95-144a-12b

y = ax^2 + bx + c

13.95 = a(14)^2 + b(14) + c

13.95 = 196a + 14b + c

13.95 = 196a + 14b + 9.95-144a-12b

13.95 = 52a + 2b + 9.95

Solve for b

13.95 = 52a + 2b + 9.95

13.95-9.95 = 52a + 2b

4 = 52a + 2b

2b = -52a + 4

b = (-52a + 4)/2

b = -26a + 2

------------

Plug in (x,y) = (16,16.95)

y = ax^2 + bx + c

16.95 = a(16)^2 + b(16) + c

16.95 = 256a + 16b + c

Now plug in c = 9.95-144a-12b

16.95 = 256a + 16b + c

16.95 = 256a + 16b + 9.95-144a-12b

16.95 = 112a + 4b + 9.95

16.95-9.95 = 112a + 4b

7 = 112a + 4b

112a + 4b = 7

Next, plug in b = -26a+2, and solve for 'a'

112a + 4b = 7

112a + 4(-26a+2) = 7

112a + 4(-26a)+4(2) = 7

112a - 104a + 8 = 7

8a + 8 = 7

8a = 7-8

8a = -1

a = -1/8

a = -0.125

------------

Use that 'a' value to find b

b = -26a + 2

b = -26(-0.125) + 2

b = 5.25

------------

Finally, use those 'a' and 'b' values to determine c

c = 9.95-144a-12b

c = 9.95-144(-0.125)-12(5.25)

c = -35.05

------------

We found that

a = -0.125, b = 5.25, and c = -35.05

So y = ax^2 + bx + c turns into y = -0.125x^2 + 5.25x - 35.05

As a way to check the answer, we plug in the various x values to get the corresponding y values. For example, if x = 12, then

y = -0.125x^2 + 5.25x - 35.05

y = -0.125(12)^2 + 5.25(12) - 35.05

y = 9.95

Which is the proper y value we want. I'll let you check the others

Which is the graph of f(x) = x2 – 2x + 3?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot factor this function out which tells us that there are no zeros. The graph backs this up because we can see that there are none. The easiest way to graph this would start by plugging in points and making a table for yourself.

Lets start by plugging in -1.

(-1)^2-2(-1)+3 =6, this means we have a point at (-1,6).

Now lets plug in 0.

(0)^2-2(0)+3= 3 (0,3)

For plugging in 1

(1)^2-2(1)+3=2 (1,2) (this happens to be the vertex)

And lastly lets plug in 2

(2)^2-2(2)+3=3 (2,3)

Depending on how many points are needed, keep plugging in numbers like we did above.

A long-term period of economic recession that leads to a low GDP and very high unemployment is a(n)
Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is C. Depression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depression is defined as a severe and prolonged recession. Declining economic activity is characterized by falling output and employment levels. Generally, when an economy continues to suffer recession for two or more quarters, it is called depression.

The level of productivity in an economy falls significantly during a depression. Both the GDP (gross domestic product) and GNP (gross national product) show a negative growth along with greater business failures and unemployment. Depressions are relatively less frequent than milder recessions, and tend to be accompanied by high unemployment and low inflation.
