If you want to do it by hand, you can write the equation
.. y = ax^2 +bx +c
and substitute three of the given points. Then solve the resulting three linear equations for a, b, and c.
.. 4 = a +b +c
.. 7 = 4a +2b +c
.. 12 = 9a +3b +c
Subtracting the first equation from the other two reduces this to
.. 3 = 3a +b
.. 8 = 8a +2b
The latter can be divided by 2, so reduces to
.. 4 = 4a +b
Subtracting the first of the reduced equations from this, you have
.. 1 = a
so
.. 3 = 3*1 +b
.. 0 = b
and
.. 4 = a + b + c = 1 + 0 + c
.. 3 = c
And your equation is
.. y = x^2 +3 . . . . . . as shown previously
Let x = price of the bike before a sales tax.
The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars
Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50
Answer: 158.50
14-5+20÷2∧2+4
exponent first: 14-5+20÷4+4
Divide: 14-5+5+4
Solve left to right: 9+5+4
add all: 14+4 = 18
Add the sides then what ever you got add that up with 9 yd
