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

The increase in a person’s body temperature T(t), above 98.6ºF, can be modeled by the function T(t)=4t/t^2+1, where trepresents
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The meaning of the horizontal asymptote is that the increase in a person's body temperature is a constant value when long time passes.

You can obtain that value by calculating the limit of the function when t → ∞:

                 4t
T(t) =  ------------- => Lim T(t) when t → +∞ = 0.
             t^2 + 1

That means that at long term the Temperature tends to remain at 98.6°F.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y =3x-2 and that passes through the point(-9,5)
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, the signs of the slope must be opposite and the slopes are reciprocals.

(basically if one is say -2/3, the other is 3/2. just flip it upside down)

So this slope is 3, so the new slope should be -1/3

The equation is now y = -1/3x + b

To find b, substitute (-9,5) in the equation

y = -1/3x + b

5 = -1/3(9) + b

5 = -3 + b

8 = b

So the equation is y = -1/3x + b
