X = 0 ; y = 10 ; 10 = a(0) + b(0) + c
c = 10
x=2 ; y = 15 ; 15 = a(4) + b(2) + 10 ; 5 = 4a+2b
x=4 ; y=18 ; 18 = a(16) + b(4) + 10 ; 8 = 16a + 4b
2(5) = (4a+2b)2
-
<u> 8 = 16a + 4b
</u> 2 = -8a
a = -0.25
b = 2
y = (1/4)x^2 + 2x + 10 ; 4y = x^2 + 8x + 40
Are you trying to distribute the b^4 or factor it?
b^4 [(2b^2) + b]
Distributed:
[2(b^6) + (b^5)]
Factored:
b^5 [2b + 1]
2y=1/2x+10
divide by two
y=1/4x+5
1/2 because 36 is half of 72. You could also divide the numbers by 12 and you will get 3/6 which is the same as 1/2.
