Substituting the data points into the model:
f(x)= -x2 + 2x -3
f(-2)=-11
f(0)=-3
f(1)=-2
f(3)=-6
f(5)=-18
So A is the right ans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form of a quadratic is f(x) = ax² + bx + c.
To convert to vertex form, the simplest method is to find the x-coordinate of the vertex using h = -b/(2a).
Then, plug back into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex. k = f(h).
Finally, the leading coefficient is the same as the standard form, a.
f(x) = a(x − h)² + k
Another method is to complete the square.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The data points are:
(1, 0), (2, 3), (3,1), (4,4), (5,5)
To find:
The equation of best fit line in the form of
and then find the value of b.
Solution:
The general form of best fit line is:
...(i)
Where, m is the slope of best fit line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Using the graphing calculator, we get the equation for the best fit line and the equation is
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Therefore, the value of b is equal to -0.7.
