If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)
Answer:
A) y = -2x
B) y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A) you need to have a negative 'x' coefficient and no y-intercept
B) you need to have a positive 'x' coefficient and a negative y-intercept
The inequality would be 3.1h + 2.3b ≥100
Step-by-step explanation:
Earning of Tammy for each hour of work= $3.1
Total hours she worked= h
Earning for picking each bushel of apple= $2.3
Total bushel she picks= b
Her goal = minimum of $100
Hence total earning from working= earning from each hour* no of hours worked
Total earning= 3.1h
Similarly, total earning from picking up apple bushels= earning from picking one bushel*no of bushels picked
Total earning= 2.3b
According to question total earning must be greater than $100
Hence, 3.1h + 2.3b ≥100
X intercept- (0,250)
Y intercept- (0,100)
