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

PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE THE BRAINLEST AND 22 PTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An expression is shown below: 6(m + 2 +
n200080 [17]

Answer:

part A: expression 1: 6(8m+2)

          expression 2: 6m+12+42m

Part B: 6(m+2+7m)= 6(8m+2)

combine like terms is 6(m+2+7m), so it is 6(2+8m) or 6(8m+2)

6(8m+2)= 6(8m+2)

Part C: 6m+12+42m=6(m+2+7m)

m=0

6(0+2+7(0))=6(0)+12+42(0)

6(2)= 12

12=12

An arithmetic sequence has a first term of 6.3 and a second term of 8.8 Which term has a value of 78.8?
slega [8]
First term [ a ] = 6.3

Common difference [ d ] = 8.8 - 6.3 = 2.5 

Using general term formula,

t_{n} = a + (n-1)d

78.8 = 6.3 + (n-1)*2.5

2.5*(n-1) = 72.5 [ Dividing both sides by 2.5 ]

n-1 = 29

n = 30

Hence, 78.8 is the 30th term in the arithmetic series.
