Find the equation of the parabola that passes through

Mathematics

so we have the points of (0,-7),(7,-14),(-3,-19), let's plug those in the y = ax² + bx + c form, since we have three points, we'll plug each one once, thus a system of three variables, and then we'll solve it by substitution.

\bf \begin{array}{cccllll} \stackrel{\textit{point (0,-7)}}{-7=a(0)^2+b(0)+c}& \stackrel{point (7,-14)}{-14=a(7)^2+b(7)+c}& \stackrel{point (-3,-19)}{-19=a(-3)^2+b(-3)+c}\\\\ -7=c&-14=49a+7b+c&-19=9a-3b+c \end{array}

well, from the 1st  equation, we know what "c" is already, so let's just plug that in the 2nd equation and solve for "b".

\bf -14=49a+7b-7\implies -7=49a+7b\implies -7-49a=7b \\\\\\ \cfrac{-7-49a}{7}=b\implies \cfrac{-7}{7}-\cfrac{49a}{7}=b\implies -1-7a=b

well, now let's plug that "b" into our 3rd equation and solve for "a".

\bf -19=9a-3b-7\implies -12=9a-3b\implies -12=9a-3(-1-7a) \\\\\\ -12=9a+3+21a\implies -15=9a+21a\implies -15=30a \\\\\\ -\cfrac{15}{30}=a\implies \blacktriangleright -\cfrac{1}{2}=a \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{and since we know that}}{-1-7a=b}\implies -1-7\left( -\cfrac{1}{2} \right)=b\implies -1+\cfrac{7}{2}=b\implies \blacktriangleright \cfrac{5}{2}=b \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x^2+\cfrac{5}{2}x-7~\hfill

What is true of the function g(x)=-2x^2+5?
mart [117]

Answer:

C) The variable x represents the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is g(x)=-2x^2+5.

g(x) is NOT the multiplication of g and x because g is a function of x.

x is the input of the function.

-2x^2+5 is the output of the function.

The variable x is called the independent variable because we plug in values of x to find g.

The variable g represents the output of the function NOT the input.

The correct choice is C

If 2.5 mol of dust particles were laid end to end along the equator, how many times would they encircle the planet? The circumfe
Natalka [10]

Answer:

They encircle the planet 3.76\times 10^{11} times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We have 2.5 mole of dust particles and the Avogadro's number is 6.022\times 10^{23}

Thus, the number of dust particles is:

2.5\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=15.055\times 10^{23}

Diameter of a dust particles is 10μm and the circumference of earth is 40,076 km.

Convert the measurement in meters.

Diameter: 10\mu m\times \frac{10^{-6}m}{\mu m} =10^{-5}m

If we line up the particles the distance they could cover is:

15.055\times 10^{23}\times 10^{-5}=15.055\times 10^{18}=1.5055\times 10^{19}

Circumference in meters:

40,076km\times \frac{1000m}{1km}=40,076,000 m

Therefore,

\frac{1.5055\times 10^{19}}{40,076,000} = 3.76\times 10^{11}

Hence, they encircle the planet 3.76\times 10^{11} times.
