Answer:

The quadratic function whose graph contains these points is y=-x^{2}-2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a quadratic function is a function of the form y=ax^{2}+bx+c. The first step is use the 3 points given to write 3 equations to find the values of the constants <em>a</em>,<em>b</em>, and <em>c</em>.  

Substitute the points (0,-2), (-5,-17), and (3,-17) into the general form of a quadratic function.

-2=a*0^{2}+b*0+c\\c=-2

-17=a*-5^{2}+b*-5+c\\c=-25a+5b-17

-17=a*3^{2}+b*3+c\\ c=-9a-3b-17

We can solve these system of equations by substitution

  • Substitute c=-9a-3b-17

-9a-3b-17=25a+5b-17\\-9a-3b-17=-2

  • Isolate a for the first equation

-9a-3b-17=-25a+5b-17\\a=\frac{b}{2}

  • Substitute a=\frac{b}{2} into the second equation

-9\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)-3b-17=-2

  • Find the value of b

-9\left(-\frac{4b}{17}\right)-3b-17=-2\\ b=-2

  • Find the value of a

a=\frac{b}{2}\\  a=-1

The solutions to the system of equations are:

b=-2,a=-1,c=-2

So the quadratic function whose graph contains these points is

y=-x^{2}-2x-2

As you can corroborate with the graph of this function.

X+4/4=x/x-2<br> A:{-4,2} <br> B:{-2,4}<br> C:{}
Andreyy89

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. {-2,4}</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x, this way:

x + 4/4 = x /x -2

(x + 4) * ((x - 2) = 4 * x

x² - 2x + 4x -8 = 4x

x² - 2x + 4x -8 - 4x = 0

x² - 2x  -8 = 0

(x - 4) * (x +2) = 0

x - 4 = 0

x + 2 = 0

x₁ = 4

x₂ = - 2

<u>The correct answer is B. {-2,4}</u>
