Y=ax² + bx + c and A(-2,18), B(0.4), C(4,24) given

1)Let's determine 1st the value of c in using the pair of B
4= a(0)² + b(0) + c , c=4 and y=ax²+bx+4

2) Use the pair of A: 18 = 4a -2b + 4===> 4a-2b=14

3) Use C pair: 24 = 16a+4b+4 ==> 16a+4b=20

4) solve the system equation in 2) and 3) and you'll find a=2 and b=-3

Hence the equation is y =2x²-3x+4

I believe the answer is $48 because 6 * 2 is 12 and 12 * 2 is 24 and 24 * 2 is 48, thus 48$. Please feel free to check my work, though.

48

Now, Divide the total amount of students (48) by the amount of numbers you added (in this case, 48/4 because we added 4 numbers wich are 12+13+14+9)

The average amount of students is 12

Z varies directly with X squared and inversely with Y. When X equals two and Y equals four, Z equals three. What is the value of

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation

z = $\frac{kx^2}{y}$

Plug in the numbers to find the value of k

3 = $\frac{k(2^2)}{4}$

12 = 4k

3 = k

Solve to find the value of z

z = $\frac{3(4^2)}{9}$

z = $\frac{3(16)}{9}$

z = 48/9

z = 16/3
