Alright

so we have a set of points

any quadratic function can be represeted by the form
y=ax²+bx+c
where a, b, and c are all constants
sometimes we use f(x) instead of y

anyway

we can find the values of a, b, and c by subsituting the points


ok
for (-2,-20)
x=-2 and y=-20
-20=a(-2)²+b(-2)+c or
-20=4a-2b+c

for (0,-4)
x=0 and y=-4
-4=a(0)²+b(0)+c
-4=c
neato
we can subsitute -4 for c later to find a and b later

using (4,-20)
x=4 and y=-20
(at this point we notice that (-2,-20) and (4,-20) have same y values so the x value of the vertex will be the midpoint of the 2 x values which is at x=1 and we can do math to find the other things but whatever)
x=4 and y=-20
-20=a(4)²+b(4)+c
-20=16a+4b+c


alright

we've got
-20=4a-2b+c
-4=c
-20=16a+4b+c

usinb -4=c
-20=4a-2b-4
-20=16a+4b-4
add 4 to everybody
-16=4a-2b
-16=16a+4b
elimination

multiply top equation by 2 and add to 2nd equation
-32=8a-4b
-16=16a+4b +
-48=24a+0b

-48=24a
divide both sides by 24
-2=a
sub back into one of the equations
-16=4a-2b
-16=4(-2)-2b
-16=-8-2b
add 8
-8=-2b
divide by -2 both sides
4=b

a=-2
b=4
c=-4

y=-2x²+4x-4
or
f(x)=-2x²+4x-4

An Internet and cable-television supplier surveyed a random sample of their customers. The results are shown in the table.
IrinaVladis [17]

For the statement "....A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column has no label with entries internet, cable television, or total. The second column is labeled satisfied with entries ..." statement about the two-way frequency table that is true is  About one-fourth of the cable-television customers are not satisfied. Option D.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is a two-way frequency table?</h3>

Generally,  A two-way table may be used to show the frequency of occurrence of two categories. A row represents a single category, whereas a column represents a different category.

In conclusion, There are 3,141 customers in total, of which 2,032 are internet customers and 1,109 are cable customers.

Plot the vertex of f(x) = (x − 2)2 + 2.<br> PLEASE HELP ME IM UPSET
8090 [49]
<h3>Answer: The vertex is located at (2, 2)</h3>

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

Explanation:

The general vertex form is

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

When we compare the function your teacher gave you to this template, then we see that

  • a = 1
  • h = 2
  • k = 2

The vertex is therefore (h,k) = (2,2)

The value of 'a' has no role in the vertex's location. This value determines how vertically stretched or compressed the parabola will be. Also, it determines if the parabola opens upward or downward (a > 0 for upward; a < 0 for downward).
