Answer:
y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.
Thus, we have;
(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0
Now, formula for quadratic equation is;
y = ax² + bx + c
Where c is the y intercept.
At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;
At (-1,0), thus;
0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1
a + b = -1 - - - (1)
At (4,0), thus;
0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1
16a + 4b = -1
Divide both sides by 4 to get;
4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)
From eq 1, b = -1 - a
Thus;
4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4
4a - 1 - a = -1/4
3a - 1 = -1/4
3a = 1 - 1/4
3a = 3/4
a = 1/4
b = -1 - 1/4
b = -5/4
Thus;
y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
Answer:
12
Explanation:
20 words do be annoying
tis always a good idea when factoring to start off with a quick prime factoring.
-2/3 times -2. You change -2 into -2/1 so you can multiply numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator. You will get 4/3 (negatives cancel out)

Answer: B) the function g(x) has a larger slope</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
The slope of f(x) is 4, since the equation y = 4x+2 has slope m = 4. Compare this to y = mx+b.
The slope of g(x) is 5. Note how if we started at (0,-2) on the red line and moved up 5 and to the right 1, we arrive at (1,3) which is another point on the red line. You could use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
to get the same result.
Since the slope of f(x) is 4 and the slope of g(x) is 5, we see that g(x) has a larger slope. The g(x) line is steeper compared to f(x).
