I think you mean "if the points <span>(2,5), (3,2) and (4,5) satisfy an unknown 3rd degree polynomial, what is the polynomial?"
Since 3 roots {2, 3, 4} are known, we might begin by assuming that this poly would have the form y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d (which has three factors). Unfortunately, three roots are not enough to determine all four constants {a, b, c, d}.
So, let's assume, instead, that the poly would have the form y = ax^2 + bx + c. Three given points should make it possible to determine {a, b, c}.
(2,5): 5 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + c => 5 = 4a + 2b + c
(3,2): 2 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + c => 2 = 9a + 3b + 5 - 4a - 2b
(4,5): 5 = a(4)^2 + b(4) + c => 5 = 16a + 4b + 5 - 4a - 2b
Now we have two equations in a and b alone, which enables us to solve for a and b:
</span>2 = 9a + 3b + 5 - 4a - 2b becomes -3 = 5a + b
<span>and
</span>5 = 16a + 4b + 5 - 4a - 2b becomes 0 = 12a + 2b, or 0 = 6a + b, or 0=-6a-b
<span>
Adding this result to -3 = 5a + b, we get -3 = -a, so a =3.
Thus, since -3 = 5a + b, -3 = 5(3) + b, so b = -18
All we have to do now is to find c. Let's do this using </span>5 = 4a + 2b + c.
We know that a = 3 and b = -18, so this becomes 5 = 4(3) + 2(-18) + c.
Thus, 5 = 12 - 36 + c, or c = 29.
With a, b and c now known, we can write the poly as y = 3x^2 - 18x + 29.
Now the only thing to do remaining is to verify that each of the three given points satsifies y = 3x^2 - 18x + 29. Try this, please.
Answer:
b. mode = 88, median = 77
Step-by-step explanation:
First, arrange all the numbers least to greatest.
53, 71, 75, 79, 88, 88
The mode is the number that occurs the most.
mode = 88
The median is the middle number. Since there is an even number of numbers, look at the two middle numbers 75 and 79. Add them together and divide by two (finding the average or mean of the numbers).
75 + 79 = 154
154/2 = 77
median = 77
Answer:
-15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The next step would be to distribute the negative two through the parenthesis,
-2n-6=9
then you add the six, -2n= 15
then you divide by 15 by negative 2 and get -15/2
If we are choosing which graph is correct it would be the first one
