The quadratic formula is ![\frac{-b+-\sqrt[2]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-b%2B-%5Csqrt%5B2%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
and in the equation ax^2+bx+c=0
so now all you have to do is substitute the numbers into the quadratic formula
(3,9)(5,15)
slope = (15 - 9) / (5 - 3) = 6/2 = 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9
sub and find b, the y int
9 = 3(3) + b
9 = 9 + b
9 - 9 = b
0 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....can be written as y = 3x.
after 12 months...
y = 3x...x = 12
y = 3(12)
y = 36 inches
The answer for the question shown above is the first option: x^2(x^2)^1/4
When you simplify the expression, you obtain the equivalent expression:
(x^10)^1/4
[(x^8)(x2)]^1/4
x^2(x^2)^1/4
Therefore, the asnwer is the option mentioned before.
