The generic equation of a parabola is:
f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
To verify the equation of the parabola you need three points:
f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
We choose the points:
(x, y) = (- 1,7)
7 = a (-1) ^ 2 + b (-1) + c
7 = a - b + c
(x, y) = (0,5)
5 = a (0) ^ 2 + b (0) + c
5 = c
(x, y) = (- 2,5)
5 = a (-2) ^ 2 + b (-2) + c
5 = 4a - 2b + c
We solve:
c = 5
5 = 4a - 2b + 5
7 = a - b + 5
Rewriting
b = 2a
a-b = 2
Substituting:
a-2a = 2
a = -2
b = -4
The equation of the parabola is:
f (x) = - 2x ^ 2 -4x + 5

The legs if an isosceles triangle are (3x^2+4x+2) inches and the base is (4x-5) inches. Find the perimeter of the triangle

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$P=(6x^2+12x-1)\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles

so

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

$P=2(3x^2+4x+2)+(4x-5)$

Eliminate parenthesis

$P=6x^2+8x+4+4x-5$

Combine like terms

$P=(6x^2+12x-1)\ in$

Determine the value of f(2) that will lead to an average rate of change of 15 over the interval [2,6]. (HELP PLEASE)

Fofino [41]

Average Rate of Change/Slope Formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So using points (6,71) and (2,y), and the slope of 15, plug them into the slope formula as such:

$\frac{71-y}{6-2}=15$

From here we can solve for y. Firstly, solve the subtraction:

$\frac{71-y}{4}=15$

Next, multiply both sides by 4:

$71-y=60$

Next, subtact both sides by 71:

$-y=-11$

Lastly, multiply both sides by -1, and <u>your final answer will be $y=11$ , or A.</u>
