If 
and 
are inverses of each other, then we have
Since 
, we have
Solve for :
(provided that <em>x</em> ≠ 0 and <em>x</em> ≠ -2)
Answer:
a = p + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
a is whatever team scored 3 more runs than the Pirates, p is the Pirates.
We are given with the equation <span>f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
Substituting, (3,11)
</span><span>11= 27a + 9b + 3c + d
</span><span>@(5, 9)
</span><span>9 = 125 a + 25 b + 5c + d
@</span><span>(4, 10)
</span><span>10 = 64 a + 16 b + 4c + d
@inflection point, second derivative is equal to zero
</span><span>f'(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c
</span>f''(x) = 6ax + 2b = 0
when x is 4, 24 a + 2b = 0 or 12a + b = 0.
There are 4 equations, 4 unknowns: answer is
<span>0.5 x^3 - 6x^2 + 22.5 - 24 = 0</span>
