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.

Three-fifths of a number increased by ten
Sav [38]

Answer: \frac{3}{5} x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

three-fifths of a number means multiply three-fifths by a variable \frac{3}{5} x

increased by 10 means addition +10

together it is \frac{3}{5}x +10

Find the area, in square feet, of a triangle whose base is 42⁄3 feet and whose altitude is 84⁄7 feet. A. 135⁄21 B. 20 C. 40 D. 2
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Option B. 20\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=4\frac{2}{3}\ ft

h=8\frac{4}{7}\ ft

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions

b=4\frac{2}{3}\ ft=\frac{4*3+2}{3}=\frac{14}{3}\ ft

h=8\frac{4}{7}\ ft=\frac{8*7+4}{7}=\frac{60}{7}\ ft

substitute the values

A=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{14}{3})(\frac{60}{7})\\ \\A=\frac{14*60}{2*3*7}\\ \\A=\frac{840}{42} \\ \\A=20\ ft^{2}

345 degrees to a radion​
miv72 [106K]

We convert degrees to radian by multiplying by  (

\frac{\pi}{180})

=  (345)  ×  (  \frac{\pi π}{180} )

=  (\frac{345}{180})  ×  (π)

=  1.9166π

=  1.9166  ×  3.14

=  6.018 rad

≈  6.02 rad
