product is multiplication

2 negative numbers multiplied by each other equal 2

since it is multiplication the numbers would need to be 2 or less

therefore the 2 numbers are -1 and -2

-1 * -2 = 2

Find the quadratic function that fits the following data. which one function fits.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule for the quadratic function is

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Use the data from the table:

$y(50)=130\Rightarrow 130=a\cdot 50^2+b\cdot 50+c\\ \\y(70)=130\Rightarrow 130=a\cdot 70^2+b\cdot 70+c\\ \\y(90)=200\Rightarrow 200=a\cdot 90^2+b\cdot 90+c$

We get the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}2500a+50b+c=130\\ \\4900a+70b+c=130\\ \\8100a+90b+c=200\end{array}\right.$

Subtract these equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}4900a+70b+c-2500a-50b-c=130-130\\ \\8100a+90b+c-2500a-50b-c=200-130\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}2400a+20b=0\\ \\5600a+40b=70\end{array}\right.$
