Answer:
x = 4.17
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve
4.2 k 2 k
---------------- = ---------------
8.76 x
Using cross products
4.2 * x = 2 * 8.76
4.2x =17.52
Divide by 4.2
x=4.17
That's a quadratic, a nice parabola in vertex form.
The parabola has a positive x^2 term, so it's a CUP, concave up positive. It will have a minimum at the vertex, which is (2,5). Plot that point.
Now we need a couple of guide points to draw the usual parabola going up from both sides of its vertex. We try x=0 giving (0,9) and see that x=4 also gives 9, (4,9). Plot the parabola through those two points and the vertex and you're done.
