Yes they are equivalent. You get -3 when you try solving the actual equation.

Find the polynomial function

Answer:

y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial correlation function of a graphing calculator can work with the table of function values to give you the equation. (See attached)

_____

If you want to solve this by hand, you can write the equations for the unknown coefficients in the polynomial function, then solve those. First of all, notice that you are given the y-intercept, (0, 6), so you know one of the coefficients already. That leaves a system of 3 equations in 3 unknowns that need to be solved.

___

<em>Writing the equations</em>

... ax³ +bx² +cx +6 = y . . . . the generic linear equation in a, b, c that you're writing

For x = -1:

... -a +b -c +6 = 8

For x = 1

... a + b + c + 6 = 6

For x = 2

... 8a +4b +2c +6 = 20

In augmented matrix terms, this set of linear equations looks like ...

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-1&1&-1&2\\1&1&1&0\\8&4&2&14\end{array}\right]

___

<em>Solving the equations</em>

There are a number of ways to solve these. Again, a graphing calculator often has solution functions, such as reducing a matrix to row-echelon form, that will solve this in a keystroke or two.

If you add the first two equations, you get ...

... 2b = 2 ⇒ b = 1

Substituting that into the first equation allows you to simplify it to ...

... -a -c = 1

Dividing the third equation by 2 (and substituting for b) makes it ...

... 4a +c = 5

Adding these equations gives ...

... 3a = 6 ⇒ a = 2

Then ...

... c = -a -1 = -2 -1 = -3

And our polynomial function is ...

... y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6

Suppose you had D dollars in your bank account. you spent $22 but have at least $28 left. how much money did you have initially?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

d--22→ 28

d→ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d dollars be the initial amount in your bank account.

We have been given that you spent $22, so the amount left after spending $22 will be: .

We are also told that after spending $22, you have at least $28. This means that the amount left after spending $22 will be greater than or equal to $28.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the initial amount of money you had.

Now let us solve for d by adding 22 to both sides of our inequality.

Therefore, initially you had at least $50.
