You're trying to find constants

such that

. Equivalently, you're looking for the least-square solution to the following matrix equation.

To solve

, multiply both sides by the transpose of

, which introduces an invertible square matrix on the LHS.

Computing this, you'd find that

which means the first choice is correct.
The graph of a quadratic equation is a U-shaped curved called parabola. It is because the parabola makes very easy to find the axis of symmetry to plot selected points and finding the roots and vertex.
Good luck :)
/ also means division so the answer is 42.75
1.) 8.88= 4.44 (x -7)
8.88 = 4.44x - 31.08
+31.08 +31.08
39.96 = 4.44x
39.96 / 4.44x
9 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
$31.50 is how much she made
418.5 is how much the store made, but, that is the simple value, there could be more variables
