Answer:
D: y = 3x² - 5x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of a quadratic equation is: y = ax² + bx + c
c is the y-intercept
We are given the point (0, -2) which is the y-intercept, so we can rewrite our general form into
y = ax² + bx - 2
We can create a system of equations to solve for a and b. We are given two points.
Equation 1: Take the first point (-2, 20) and plug it into our general equation...
20 = a(-2)² + b(-2) - 2
20 = 4a - 2b - 2
22 = 4a - 2b (add 2 to both sides)
11 = 2a - b (divide both sides by 2 since every coefficient is even)
Equation 2: Take the point (1, -4) and plug it into the general equation
-4 = a(1)² + b(1) - 2
-4 = a + b - 2
-2 = a + b
Now we have our 2 equations:
11 = 2a - b
-2 = a + b
Since the coefficients of b are already have opposite signs, add the two equations together (elimination method)
Now we have
9 = 3a now solve for a...
3 = a (divide by 3 on both sides)
If a = 3, then
-2 = 3 + b
-5 = b
Our equation is
y = 3x² - 5x - 2
Answer: 0.56
Step-by-step explanation:
1.12 / 0.56
Half of 1 is .50 and half of .12 is .06
.50 + .06 = .56

Answer:
11 cm by 33 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this problem mentally as follows.
Consider the rectangle as 3 squares, side-by-side. Then the area of each of those squares is 363/3 = 121 cm^2. From your knowledge of the squares of numbers, you know that 121 = 11^2. So, the width of the rectangle is 11 cm, and the length is 3 times that, or 33 cm.
_____
Using variables, we can let w represent the width. Then 3w can represent the length, and the area is ...
A = LW
A = (3w)(w) = 3x^2 = 363
w^2 = 363/3 = 121
w = √121 = 11
3w = 3·11 = 33
The width is 11 cm; the length is 33 cm.
Answer:
c. P=R-10; 35 million
Step-by-step explanation:
P=R-10, just read what the text says, namely profit = revenue - expenses
P=25, 25=R-10 <=> R=35
