The given function is a quadratic equation. Any quadratic equation can be written in the form :
The given points can be taken as (2,23) ,(4,55) and(10,247)
We form three equations with the given points
For point (2,23 ) the equation is
23 = 4a + 2b + c
For point (4,55) the equation is
55 = 16a + 4b + c
For point (10,247) the equation is:
247 = 100a+10b+c.
Solving the three equations for a,b,c we have :
32 = 12a + 2b
16 = 6a + b
and,
192 = 84 a + 6b
32 = 14a + b
Solving for a,b,c we have:
a=2 b=4 c=7
The quadratic equation is c(x)=
When x=8
c(x)=

Option C. $167 is the right answer.
I got 28
There is not parenthesis around the five meaning -5 squared would equal positive 25
The answer is c

Hello,
The rate of change is the slope (rise/run, y/x). To find that, we use the equation (y2-y1) over (x2-x1). It means take the second "y" and subtract it from the first "y" and the same to "x". If I plug in the numbers, it would be (3-6) over (5-4), and after you subtract, the answer simplifies to: -3/ 1 which is -3. Yay! We got the slope (rate of change) done.
Now let's find the y-intercept by using the formula of point-slope form,
y-y1= m (slope) (x-x1). This is saying you "y" is subtracted from the first
"y" of the points which equals the slope (m) times the quantity of "x" subtracted by the first "x" of the points.
Let's plug the numbers in: y-6 = -3 (x-4). Let's distribute -3 to the parenthesis, and after that it should simplify to: y-6 = -3x + 12. To get "y" by itself, add 6 to both sides: y = -3x +18. We have finally found the slope-intercept equation for those two points (4,6) and (5,3). To then find the y-intercept in this equation, it would be the 18, because -3 is the slope, so that makes 18 the y-intercept.
In conclusion, the rate of change is -3 and the y-intercept is 18.
I hope this helps!
