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}

HELP ASAP AND GETS SOME POINTS AND BRAINLEST!!!!
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

9x² + 28x - 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(9x - 8)(x + 4)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

9x(x + 4) - 8(x + 4) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 9x² + 36x - 8x - 32 ← collect like terms

= 9x² + 28x - 32

What's 8,936.25 to the nearest hundred? please help​
klemol [59]

Answer:

9,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hundreds column contains a 9, we need to move to the thousands column and add 1. When doing this you do not need to include the rest of the numbers. (Just replace them with zeros.)

Hope that helps. x
