Your calculator's cubic regression function can tell you the equation is
... f(x) = 2x³ + 5x² -12x = x(x +4)(2x-3)
The x-intercepts are -4, 0, +1.5.
_____
If you want to solve this "by hand", you can first of all recognize that since there is an x-intercept at 0, the cubic will only have three coefficients. That is, you can write the equation as
... f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx
Substituting the given points (except (0, 0)) gives three linear equations in a, b, c.
... -a +b -c = 15 . . . . . for x=-1
... a + b + c = -5 . . . . for x=1
... 8a +4b +2c = 12 . . for x=2
adding the first two equations gives 2b=10, or b=5. Now, you can reduce the system to
... a + c = -10
... 4a +c = -4
Subtracting the first of these equations from the second gives 3a=6, or a=2. That tells you c=-12 (from a+c=10).
Then your equation is
... f(x) = x(2x² +5x -12)
Factoring by any of the usual techniques, or graphing, or using the quadratic formula will tell you the zeros (x-intercepts) are as above.
_____
Since the input values are sequential, you can also develop the function from differences of the output values. Those are 15, 0, -5, 12. First differences are -15, -5, +17. Second differences are +10, +22. The third difference is 12. Using the first of these differences in appropriate places in the interpolating polynomial formula, we have
... f(x) = 15 + (x+1)(-15 + (x)/2·(10 + (x-1)/3·(12))) = 2x³ +5x² -12x . . . . as above
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us record the station number 1, 2 or 3 for each family member A, B or C.
I am attaching a table containing total outcomes. Outcomes are presented along rows while the assigned station to each member is written along columns. For ease of understanding, 1 3 2 in the table should be interpreted as family member A being assigned to station 1, member B to station 3 and member C to station number 2, respectively.
From table it is clear that the total outcomes possible are 27.
We know that, probability can be defined as,
a) All Members Assigned to the Same Station.
Cases for all members being assigned to same station are as follows:
[1 1 1], [2 2 2], [3 3 3] (outcome number 1, 14 and 27 in the table).
Therefore,
b) At Most Two Members Assigned to the Same Station.
It means that maximum of 2 members can have the same station. Cases for this situation are as follows:
[1 1 2], [1 1 3], [1 2 1], [1 2 2], [1 3 1], [1 3 3], [2 1 1], [2 1 2], [2 2 1], [2 2 3], [2 3 2],
[2 3 3], [3 1 1], [3 1 3], [3 2 2], [3 2 3], [3 3 1], [3 3 2]
(outcome number 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25 and 26 in the table).
Therefore,
c) All Members Assigned to a Different Station.
For this scenario, we have the following results:
[1 2 3], [1 3 2], [2 1 3], [2 3 1], [3 1 2], [3 2 1] (outcome number 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 22 in the table).
Therefore,
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equation will intersect each other at the point which will be the solution of the given two equations , and the given equations are ,
On subtracting the given equations we have,
Put this value in any equation , we have ,
Hence the lines will Intersect at ,
