The percentage increase is 50% because 3/2=1.5
1.5-1=0.5 (1 is the same as saying the original 100%)
0.5 as a percentage is 50%

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following are solutions to 2x^2 -8x -90
WARRIOR [948]
Please equate 2x^2 -8x -90 to zero:    <span>2x^2 -8x -90=0

Next, reduce </span>2x^2 -8x -90=0 by div. all terms by 2:    x^2 -4x -45=0

Next, factor the poly:  (x-9)(x+5) = 0

Set each factor = to 0 and solve for x:

x-9=0 => x=9
x+5=0 => x= -5

Answer:

  • y = -3x² + 7x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given quadratic function:</u>

  • y = ax² + bx + c

<u>Points on the graph:</u>

  • (-2,-35), (1,-5), (3,- 15)

<u>Substitute values of x and y and solve the system of equations:</u>

  • -35 = a(-2)² + b(-2) + c ⇒ -35 = 4a - 2b + c   ⇔ eq 1
  • -5 = a(1)² + b(1) + c ⇒ -5 = a + b + c               ⇔ eq 2
  • -15 = a(3)² + b(3) + c ⇒ -15 = 9a + 3b + c       ⇔ eq 3

<u>Subtract eq 2 from eq 1:</u>

  • -35 - (-5) = 4a - 2b + c - a - b - c
  • -30 = 3a - 3b
  • b = a + 10                                                         ⇔ eq 4

<u>Subtract eq 2 from eq 3:</u>

  • -15 - (-5) = 9a + 3b + c - a - b - c
  • -10 = 8a + 2b
  • b = -4a - 5                                                       ⇔ eq 5

<u>Compare eq 4 and eq 5, solve for a:</u>

  • a + 10 = -4a - 5
  • a + 4a = -5 - 10
  • 5a = -15
  • a = -3

<u>Find the value of b using eq 4:</u>

  • b = -3 + 10
  • b = 7

<u>Find the value of c using eq 2:</u>

  • -5 = -3 + 7 + c
  • c = -5 - 4
  • c = -9

<u>We now have a, b and c:, the function is:</u>

  • y = -3x² + 7x - 9
