Hi! Basically, the problem is asking us to find the values of a, b, and c in the equation f(x)=a x^{2} +bx+c. Since we have three unknowns, we just need three equations. We can find these equations by using the data in the table.

First let's plug x = 0 and f(x) = 0.
0=0+0+c
c=0

Now that we know c, it's time to pick two more pairs. Let's plug-in (2,78) and (4,152)

78=4a+2b
152=16a+4b

Before proceeding with the process of eliminating one variable, let us first reduce both equations to their lowest terms. We divide the first equation by 2 and we divide the second one by 4.

39=2a+b
38=4a+b

Next, we subtract equation 2 from equation 1.

1=-2a
a=-0.5

Finally, we substitute the value of a to equation 2 to get the value of b.

38=4(-0.5)+b
b=40

Therefore, the function should be f(x)=-0.5 x^{2} +40x

Write an equation for the line (4,7) and ( 1,1)2. Write an equation for the graph
Nastasia [14]

ANSWER:

y=2x-1

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the equation in its slope-intercept form is the following:

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m\text{ is the slope and b is the y-intercept } \end{gathered}

The slope can be calculated as follows:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We use the points (4,7) and (1,1) to calculate the slope:

m=\frac{1-7}{1-4}=\frac{-6}{-3}=2

Now, we calculate the value of b, using the point (1,1) and the slope, like this:

\begin{gathered} 1=1\cdot2+b \\ b=-2+1 \\ b=-1 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation would be:

y=2x-1
