3.9 * 5.3 ≈  4 * 5

≈20

Well after doing your multiplication, you can place your decimal point by knowing that from estimation the answer is around 20.

So you can place your decimal point after the first two digits from the left.

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LOL The graph doesn’t match the y intercept :)

Anyway

If we have point (0,-3) we have a quadratic of

y=ax^2+bx-3 we are given points (-1,0) and (2,0) so

a-b-3=0 and 4a+2b-3=0

4a+2b-3+2(a-b-3)=0

4a+2b-3+2a-2b-6=0

6a-9=0

6a=9

a=1.5, since a-b=3

1.5-b=3

b=-1.5

y=1.5x^2-1.5x-3
