Answer:
f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the quadratic function be y = f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.
For the point (-2, 8) ( x = -2 when y = 8) we have:
a(-2)^2 + (-2)b + c = 8
4a - 2b + c = 8 For (0, -4) we have:
0 + 0 + c = -4 so c = -4. For (4, 68) we have:
16a + 4b + c = 68
So we have 2 systems of equations in a and b ( plugging in c = -4):
4a - 2b - 4 = 8
16a + 4b - 4 = 68
4a - 2b = 12
16a + 4b = 72 Multiplying 4a - 2b = 12 by 2 we get:
8a - 4b = 24
Adding the last 2 equations:
24a = 96
a = 4
Now plugging a = 4 and c = -4 in the first equation:
4(4) - 2b - 4 = 8
-2b = 8 - 16 + 4 = -4
b = 2.

A median intersects at the midpoint of the opposite length. The midpoint is:
x,m = (4+-2)/2 = 1
y,m = (-1+7)/2 = 3
The midpoint is at (1,3). With this point and point R(9,9), the equation would be:
y = mx + b, where
m = (9 - 3)/(9 - 1) = 0.75
b is the y-intercept
Substituting any point,
3 = 0.75(1)+b
b = 2.25
Thus, the equation for the median is:
y = 0.75x + 2.25
First, turn the fractions into mixed numbers.
21/4 - 27/8
Then. make the denominators the same.
4 * 2 = 8
21 * 2 = 42
42/8 - 27/8
42 - 27 = 15
15/8
15/8 = 1 7/8
