y=ax^2+bx-10 \\ \\
(4.5,8) \\
8=a \times 4.5^2 + b \times 4.5-10 \\
8=20.25a+4.5b-10 \ \ \ |+10 \\
18=20.25a+4.5b \\ \\
(-2.5,15) \\
15=a \times (-2.5)^2+b \times (-2.5)-10 \\
15=6.25a-2.5b-10 \ \ \ |+10 \\
25=6.25a-2.5b

The system of equations:
18=20.25a+4.5b \ \ \ |\times 5 \\
25=6.25a-2.5b \ \ \ |\times 9 \\ \\
90=101.25a+22.5b \\
\underline{225=56.25a-22.5b} \\
90+225=101.25a+56.25a \\
315=157.5a \ \ \ |\div 157.5 \\
a=2 \\ \\
25=6.25a-2.5b \\
25=6.25 \times 2-2.5b \\
25=12.5 -2.5b \ \ \ |-12.5 \\
12.5=-2.5b \ \ \ |\div (-2.5) \\
b=-5 \\ \\
\boxed{a=2} \\ \boxed{b=-5} \\ \boxed{y=2x^2-5x-10}

The sum of a number and 35 is 100 create an equation
Gnesinka [82]
Let's called this number x and sum it with 35

x+35

We know this sum is equal to 100, let's equal it.

x+35=100

\boxed { x+35=100 }

Can I please have the answers.

Question 22.). Write the equation in Standard Form:

10y = 12x + 0.7

Identify: A, B, C

Standard Form for Linear Equation: Ax + By = C

10y = 12x + 0.7

The Standard Form of the solution is

Ax + By = C, Where, A ≥ 0

A and B, are Non- Zero numbers.

Therefore, Your answer, Letter Choice, (D), 120x - 100y = - 7, Where,

A = 120, B = - 100, and C = - 7

Question 24.). Described as, Inconsistent, Consistent, and Independent, Consistent, and Dependent, or None of These.

9x - 8y = 15, and 27x - 24y = 3

Solve:

9x - 8y = 15; 27x - 24y = 3

Steps: I will try to solve the system of equation:

9x - 8y = 15; 27x - 24y = 3

Step, Solve: 9x - 8y = 15 for x

9x - 8y + 8y = 15 + 8y

Add 8y to both sides:

9x = 8y + 15

9x/9 = 8y + 15/9 ( Divide both sides by 9):

x = 8/9y + 5/3

Step Substitute:

8/9y + 5/3 for X in 27x - 24y = 3

27x - 24y = 3

27 ( 8/9y + 5/3) - 24y = 3

45 = 3

Simplify Both sides of equation:

45 + - 45 = 3 + - 45 ( Add - 45, to both sides.):

0 = - 42

Therefore, No real Solutions, to both Equation.

Hence; 9x - 8y = 15; and 27x - 24 = 3, have No Real Solutions, and Therefore, They are, Answer Letter Choice, (B), Inconsistent.

Hope that helps!!! Sorry, I couldn't figure out Number (23.). : )

I need the answer quick I have a time limit ( I only get an hour to complete the assignment heh )
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

C (the third table, from the second picture).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the graph.

Two conspicuous points are (0, -3) and (2, 1).

The slope is: (1 - -3) / (2 - 0) = (1 + 3) / 2 = 4 / 2 = 2.

A: In the table, the y-values increase by 2, while the x-values increase by 4. 2 / 4 = 1 / 2 = 0.5. The slope is not the same as the graph.

B: In the table, the y-values decrease by 2, while the x-values increase by 4. -2 / 4 = -1 / 2 = -0.5. The slope is not the same as the graph.

C: In the table, the y-values increase by 4, while the x-values increase by 2. 4 / 2 = 2 / 1 = 2. The slope is the same as the graph, so C is your answer.

D: In the table, the y-values decrease by 4, while the x-values increase by 2. -4 / 2 = -2 / 1 = -2. The slope is not the same as the graph.

Hope this helps!
