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

zubka84 [21]
<u>The possible answers are:
</u>
<u /><u /><u><em /></u>4.21
4.22
4.23
4.24

Explanation:
We want a number between 4 1/5 and 4.25.  We will convert 4 1/5 to a decimal first:

Divide 1 by 5:  1/5 = 0.2.

This makes 4 1/5 = 4 + 1/5 = 4 + 0.2 = 4.2.

We want a number between 4.2, which can be written as 4.20, and 4.25.  Any number between will do, so the possible answers would be 
4.21, 4.22, 4.23, or 4.24.<u />
