Inverse variation: y = k/x. Here x=7 and y=8. Thus,

y = k/x becomes 8 = k/7, or k=56. The const. of var. is 56.

Write the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10).

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\displaystyle f(x)=x^2+2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System Of Linear Equations </u>

In this problem, we'll need to solve a 3x3 system of linear equations because we have three unknowns and three conditions.

We are required to find the equation of the quadratic function that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, 5), and (2,10)

The general quadratic function can be written as

$\displaystyle f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

We need to find the values of a,b, and c. Let's use the first condition, i.e. f(-1)=1

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(-1)=a-b+c$

$\displaystyle a-b+c=1.....[eq\ 1]$

Now we use the second condition f(1)=5

$\displaystyle f(1)=a(1)^2+b(1)+c$

$\displaystyle f(1)=a+b+c$

$\displaystyle a+b+c=5.......[eq\ 2]$

Finally, we use the third condition f(2)=10

$\displaystyle f(2)=a(2)^2+b(2)+c$

$\displaystyle f(2)=4a+2b+c$

$\displaystyle 4a+2b+c=10....[eq\ 3]$

We put together eq 1, eq 2, and eq 3 to form the system

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a-b+c=1\\ a+b+c=5\\ 4a+2b+c=10\end{matrix}\right.$

Adding the first two equations we have

$\displaystyle 2a+2c=6$

$\displaystyle a+c=3$

And also

$\displaystyle b=2$

Using the above equation and the value of b in the third equation, we have

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}a+c=3\\ 4a+c=6\end{matrix}\right.$

Subtracting the first equation from the second

$\displaystyle 3a=3$

$\displaystyle a=1$

And therefore

$\displaystyle c=2$

Now we have all the values, the quadratic function is

$\displaystyle \boxed{f(x)=x^2+2x+2}$

What is 63.5 divided by 5 estimating qoutients i need help

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

So basically your gonna regaurd 63.5 as 60 +3.5, 60 is 5*12 and the remaining 3.5 is less than the divisor 5, so it would be the remainder
anwser is 63.5/5 treat as 60/5+3.5/5
so anwser is 60/5+3.5/5=0.7=12.7
