given three points of a quadratic function find the equation that defines the function (-2,20)(0,-2)(1,-4) hurry please!!​

Answer:

D: y = 3x² - 5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation is: y = ax² + bx + c    

c is the y-intercept

We are given the point (0, -2) which is the y-intercept, so we can rewrite our general form into

y = ax² + bx - 2

We can create a system of equations to solve for a and b.  We are given two points.  

Equation 1:  Take the first point (-2, 20) and plug it into our general equation...

20 = a(-2)² + b(-2) - 2

   20 = 4a - 2b - 2

        22 = 4a - 2b         (add 2 to both sides)

           11 = 2a - b         (divide both sides by 2 since every coefficient is even)

Equation 2:   Take the point (1, -4) and plug it into the general equation

-4 = a(1)² + b(1) - 2

  -4 = a + b - 2

     -2 = a + b

Now we have our 2 equations:

11 = 2a - b

-2 = a + b

Since the coefficients of b are already have opposite signs, add the two equations together (elimination method)

Now we have

9 = 3a       now solve for a...

 3 = a   (divide by 3 on both sides)

If a = 3, then

-2 = 3 + b

    -5 = b

Our equation is

y = 3x² - 5x - 2

which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? x^2 + 5x - 36 A. x - 5 B. x - 9 C. x + 9 D. x^2 + 5
bazaltina [42]
<h3>Answer:  C. x+9</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Think of two numbers that multiply to -36 and also add to 5. Put another way: think of two factors of -36 that add to 5.

Those two numbers are 9 and -4 since

9 times -4 = -36

9 plus -4 = 5

So we have x^2 + 5x - 36 factor into (x+9)(x-4)

x+9 is one factor

x-4 is the other factor

-------

Alternatively, you can use a graphing tool to locate the x intercepts, and that will in turn lead to the factorization. Or you could use the quadratic formula to get the job done. Completing the square is yet another tool to use. So there are multiple approaches.

ASAP!!!!!!<br><br> Y-9=4(X+2)
Artemon [7]
SimplifyingY + -9 = 4(x + -2)
Reorder the terms:-9 + Y = 4(x + -2)
Reorder the terms:-9 + Y = 4(-2 + x)-9 + Y = (-2 * 4 + x * 4)-9 + Y = (-8 + 4x)
Solving-9 + Y = -8 + 4x
Solving for variable 'Y'.
Move all terms containing Y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '9' to each side of the equation.-9 + 9 + Y = -8 + 9 + 4x
Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 00 + Y = -8 + 9 + 4xY = -8 + 9 + 4x
Combine like terms: -8 + 9 = 1Y = 1 + 4x
SimplifyingY = 1 + 4x
