So, we are given the y intercept, and since we know c is the same as the y value of the y intercept, we know that c=15.

From there we can pick any two of the points given to us to find our a and b.

Let's use (4,17) and (8,23) becase they are whole numbers.

17=16a+4b+15\\ 23=64a+8b+15 \implies \\ 2=16a+4b\\ 8=64a+8b \implies\\ 8=64+16b \\ 8=64+8b \implies \\ 0=8b \implies\\ b=0

So, with b=0, we can plug it back into the first equation to get:17=16a+4b+15 \implies\\ 2=16a \implies\\ a=\frac{1}{8}

So our quadratic is \frac{1}{8}x^2+15

2. A bakery makes muffins and cookies. Muffins are sold 18 to a box and cookies are sold 25 to a bag. They do not sell individua
Ksivusya [100]
A) if 18 muffins = 1 box,
1020 muffins = 1020/18 boxes
= 56.67 boxes

So they used 56 full boxes.

b) if 25 cookies = 1 bag
2820 cookies = 2820/25 bags
= 112.8 bags

So they used 112 full bags.

c) the remainders from a and b represent muffins and cookies left over.
