Find the quadratic function y=ax^(2)+c with a graph that includes (0,1/2) (-3,73/2).

The answer is B. The way you find it is through substitution. First use the coordinate (0, 1/2) in y = ax^2 + c to solve for c: 1/2=a(0)^2 + c--> 1/2=c. Now use that c value in the same y = ax^2 + c equation with the other coordinate to solve for a: 73/2 = a(-3)^2 + 1/2. Subtract 1/2 from both sides to get 72/2=9a. 72/2 is 36. So 36 = 9a...a = 4. Now fill in your a and your c to get y = 4x^2 + 1/2

Multply both sides of the equation by 7.

$\dfrac{x}{7}\cdot 7=\dfrac{4}{5}\cdot 7\\\\x=\dfrac{28}{5}=5.6$

When the variable is in the numerator of a proportion like this, you can solve it by multiplying by that denominator. That multiplication cancels the denominator and gives you the value of the variable.

In general, you multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. When that coefficient is 1/7, you multiply by 7/1. Of course, you know that 7/7 = 1 and that x/1 = x.

What is the converse of the linear pairs theorem

guapka [62]

<span>If you know the Linear pair Theorem, the converse can be easily obtained by switching the condition and the conclusion. For example, If it is raining, then the outside is wet. Converse: If the outside is wet, then it is raining. (It is not always true.)</span>
