Y=ax² + bx + c and A(-2,18), B(0.4), C(4,24) given
1)Let's determine 1st the value of c in using the pair of B
4= a(0)² + b(0) + c , c=4 and y=ax²+bx+4
2) Use the pair of A: 18 = 4a -2b + 4===> 4a-2b=14
3) Use C pair: 24 = 16a+4b+4 ==> 16a+4b=20
4) solve the system equation in 2) and 3) and you'll find a=2 and b=-3
Hence the equation is y =2x²-3x+4
Answer is 42, hope this helps
Answer:
125 adults
175 children
Step-by-step explanation:
3900=8c+20a
300=c+a
c=300-a
substitute
3900=8(300-a)+20a
reduce
3900=2400-8a+20a
1500=12a
a=125 adults
substitute for a
c=300-a
c=300-125
c=175 children
