Find quadratic equation from 3 points calculator

Mathematics

Given the points P(-2, 7), Q(6, 8) and R(-1, -3), we find the quadratic equation of the form y=ax^2+bx+c as follows:

Step 1:
We check to make sure that no pair of points is colinear (i.e. lie on the same line) by making that the slopes of the combinations of the line are not equal.

Slope of PQ = \frac{8-7}{6-(-2)} = \frac{1}{8}
Slope of PR = \frac{-3-7}{-1-(-2)} = \frac{-10}{1} =-10
Slope of QR = \frac{-3-8}{-1-6} = \frac{-11}{-7} = \frac{11}{7}

Since, the slope of the lines are not equal, thus the points are not colinear nor parallel.

Step 2:
Substitute the x-values and the y-values of the given points into the quadratic equation formular to have three system of equations as follows:

a(-2)^2+b(-2)+c=7\Rightarrow 4a-2b+c=7 \ .\ .\ .\ (1) \\  \\ a(6)^2+b(6)+c=8\Rightarrow36a+6b+c=8\ .\ .\ .\ (2) \\  \\ a(-1)^2+b(-1)+c=-3\Rightarrow a-b+c=-3\ .\ .\ .\ (3)

Step 3:
We solve the system of equations as follows:
\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}4&-2&1&|&7\\36&6&1&|&8\\1&-1&1&|&-3\end{array}\right] \ \ \ R_1\leftrightarrow R_3 \\ \\ \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&1&|&-3\\36&6&1&|&8\\4&-2&1&|&7\end{array}\right] \ \ \ {{-36R_1+R_2\rightarrow R_2} \atop {-4R_1+R_3\rightarrow R_3}} \\  \\ \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&1&|&-3\\0&42&-35&|&116\\0&2&-3&|&19\end{array}\right] \ \ \ R_2\leftrightarrow R_3

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&1&|&-3\\0&2&-3&|&19\\0&42&-35&|&116\end{array}\right] \ \ \  \frac{1}{2} R_2\leftrightarrow R_2 \\  \\ \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-1&1&|&-3\\0&1&\frac{-3}{2}&|&\frac{19}{2}\\0&42&-35&|&116\end{array}\right] \ \ \  {{R_1+R_2\rightarrow R_1} \atop {-42R_2+R_3\rightarrow R_3}} \\  \\ \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&\frac{-1}{2}&|&\frac{13}{2}\\0&1&\frac{-3}{2}&|&\frac{19}{2}\\0&0&28&|&-283\end{array}\right] \ \ \ \frac{1}{28} R_3\leftrightarrow R_3

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&\frac{-1}{2}&|&\frac{13}{2}\\0&1&\frac{-3}{2}&|&\frac{19}{2}\\0&0&1&|&\frac{-283}{28}\end{array}\right] \ \ \ {{\frac{1}{2}R_3+R_1\rightarrow R_1} \atop {\frac{3}{2}R_3+R_2\rightarrow R_2}} \\  \\ \left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&0&0&|&\frac{81}{56}\\0&1&0&|&\frac{-317}{56}\\0&0&1&|&\frac{-283}{28}\end{array}\right]

Thus,

a=\frac{81}{56}; \ \ \ b=\frac{-317}{56}; \ \ \ c=\frac{-283}{28}

Therefore, the quadratic equation with the three given points is

y=\frac{81}{56}x^2-\frac{317}{56}x-\frac{283}{28}

PLEASE HELP MEEE
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

2x^3 + 9x^2 + 16x + 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first multiply the expression in the second parentheses by x , then by +3:

(x + 3)(2x^2 + 3x + 7)

= x(2x^2 + 3x + 7) + 3(2x^2 + 3x + 7)

= 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 7x + 6x^2 + 9x + 21   Now we add like terms:

= 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 16x + 21.

What is the value of x?
dimulka [17.4K]
Hi there!

To find x, we'll need to proceed methodically. First, we'll start by finding the length of ST. The 30-60-90 relationship tells us that ST = 2. Then, we can find RT, also using the 30-60-90 relationship. RT = 4. Lastly, we can use the 45-45-90 relationship to determine that x = 4.

Hope this helps!! :)
