The equation for a parabola has the form y = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0. find an equation for the p

sattari [20]

To solve the problem, substitute the given points for x in the given equation to get

$-10=(-1)^2a+(-1)b+c\Rightarrow-10=a-b+c \\ -6=(1)^2a+(1)b+c\Rightarrow-6=a+b+c \\ -13=(2)^2a+(2)b+c\Rightarrow-13=4a+2b+c$

Solving the three equations simultaneously, we have:

a = -3, b = 2 and c = -5

Therefore, the required equation is

$y=-3x^2+2x-5$

Rudy, Maria, and Tito have a total of x textbooks Rudy has 6 textbooks andTito and Maria each have y textbooks. How many textboo

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Tito have $\frac{x-6}{2}$ textbooks in terms of x

Step-by-step explanation:

Rudy has 6 textbooks

We are given that Tito and Maria each have y textbooks

So, Tito has no. of books = y

Maria has no. of books = y

So, total number of textbooks = 6+y+y=6+2y

We are given that Rudy, Maria, and Tito have a total of x textbooks

So,6+2y=x

So, 2y=x-6

$y=\frac{x-6}{2}$

Hence Tito have $\frac{x-6}{2}$ textbooks in terms of x

Explain the difference between the opposite of a number and the absolute value of a number

Tanya [424]

Opposite number is like 8 and -8. And absolute value is like -8 and 8 or 9 and 9. The absolute value is always positive.

A merchant buys a television for $125 and sells it for $75 more.What is the percent of markup?

cestrela7 [59]

Since he sold it for $75 more,

% Mark Up = Mark Up/ Cost Price x 100%

% Mark Up = 75 / 125 x 100% = 0.6 x 100% = 60%

Percent Mark Up = 60%
Hope this helps :)
