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}

N/2 + 0.6 =2<br> PLS HELP
iogann1982 [59]

First, subtract 0.6 from both sides of the numbers and then simplify

Then multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators which gives us 2.8

So, n = 2.8

Hope it helps!

Answer:

The slope of the line is 2. To find the slope I marked two points on the line, which were (-3, 0) and (-2, 2). Then I used the \frac{Rise}{Run} technique. Moving up 2 units and to the right 1 unit, which would be represented by \frac{2}{1}.

PLEASE HELP
Savatey [412]
Correct Answer: Option A

The next step in simplification will be to convert the squared term so that it no longer contains a square.

So, we are to simplify the term cos^{2}(2x)

Using the half-angle identity we can write:

cos^{2}(2x)= \frac{1+cos(4x)}{2}

Using this value, the equation becomes:

sin^{4}x=1-2cos(2x)+ \frac{ \frac{1+cos(4x)}{2} }{4}

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
