f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\\\\(0;\ 3)\to x=0;\ y=3\to f(0)=3\\therefore\\3=a\cdot0^2+b\cdot0+c\\\boxed{c=3}\\\\(1;\ 4)\to x=1;\ y=4\to f(1)=4\\therefore\\4=1^2\cdot a+1\cdot b+3\\4=a+b+3\ \ \ |subtract\ 3\ from\ both\ sides\\(1)\boxed{a+b=1}\\\\(-1;-6)\to x=-1;\ y=-6\to f(-1)=-6\\therefore\\-6=(-1)^2a+(-1)b+3\\-6=a-b+3\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 3\ from\ both\ sides\\(2)\boxed{a-b=-9}

We have (1) & (2):

\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+b=1\\a-b=-9\end{array}\right}\ \ \ \ |add\ both\ sides\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ 2a=-8\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \boxed{a=-4}\\\\subtitute\ the\ value\ of\ "a"\ to\ the\ first\ equation\\\\-4+b=1\ \ \ \ |add\ 4\ to\ both\ sides\\\boxed{b=5}\\\\Answer{\boxed{\boxed{f(x)=-4x^2+5x+3}}

It would take Delia 3 hours longer to re tile their bathroom by herself than it would for kari to retile on her own. If they wor
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}

\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours
