Answer:

y=-1/2 x^2+3/2 x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of parabola is:

y=ax^2+bx+c

We know that parabola has three poibts

(6,0),(-3,0) and (1,10).

So we put these three points in equation:

a*36+b*6+c=0......(1)

a*9-3b+c=0........(2)

a+b+c=10........(3)

(1)-(2) we have:

27a+9b=0.....(4)

(2)-(3) we have:

8a-4b=-10.....(5)

4(4)+9(5) we got:

180a=-90

a=-1/2

From (4) we got: b=27/18=3/2

From (3) we got: c=10+1/2-3/2=9

So equation is:

y=-1/2 x^2+3/2 x+9

You can see the picture of parabola through three points.

How does this polynomial identity work on numerical relationships?<br> (y + x) (ax + b)
Serggg [28]

Let us take 'a' in the place of 'y' so the equation becomes

(y+x) (ax+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u>

(a + x) (ax + b)

<u>Step 2: Proof</u>

Checking polynomial identity.

(ax+b )(x+a) = FOIL

(ax+b)(x+a)

ax^2+a^2x is the First Term in the FOIL

ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

(ax+b)(x+a)+bx+ab is the Second Term in the FOIL

Add both expressions together from First and Second Term  

= ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

<u>Step 3: Proof </u>

(ax+b)(x+a) = ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

Identity is Found .

Trying with numbers now

(ax+b)(x+a) = ax^2 + a^2x + bx + ab

((2*5)+8)(5+2) =(2*5^2)+(2^2*5)+(8*5)+(2*8)

((10)+8)(7) =(2*25)+(4*5)+(40)+(16)

(18)(7) =(50)+(20)+(56)

126 =126

storchak [24]

Answer:

∠ PTQ = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles subtended by the radii and tangents to the circle , sum to 180°

∠ PTQ + 110° = 180° ( subtract 110° from both sides )

∠ PTQ = 70°

A worker at a snack stand opened a new box of cups. On the first day, the worker used 30 cups from the box. On the second day, t
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<em>630 cups</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

This problem is most easily solved backward, i.e., from the final data up to the beginning.

There was a new box of cups and the worker at a snack stand opened it. He first used 30 cups from the box and the second day he uses 15% of the remaining cups in the box, and we are told that represents 90 cups.

If 15% (0.15) equals 90 cups, then the number of cups before the second day was 90/0.15 = 600 cups.

On the first day, we used 30 cups, thus the original number of cups in the box was 600+30=630 cups
