Write an equation for the function

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1    or    -0.25u² -u

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.

The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.

Our equation will be of the form ...

  m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)

For this graph, the equation is ...

  m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1

or, simplifying, we get ...

  m(u) = -0.25u² -u

500 adult tickets and 350 children tickets.

Check :
500A($1.5)=$750

Solve the following equation by factoring 2x^2-5x-12=0
Korolek [52]
Answer: x = 4 and x = -3/2

Procedure:

1) Given: 2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0

2) Multiply both sides by : 2(2x^2) - 2(5x) - 2(12) = 0

3) Rearrange: (2x)^2 -5(2x) - 24 = 0

4) Notice that the common factor is (2x)

5) Set the parenthesis with the common factor inside:

(2x     ) (2x     ) =0

6) The first sign is the same sign of the second term of the trinomial, which is negative, the second sign is the product of the signs of the second and the third terms of the polynomial, which is (-)*(-) = + (positive)

(2x - )(2x + ) = 0

7) find two numbers that sum up - 5x and its product is -24.

- 8 + 3 = - 5
(-8)(+3) = -24

=> the numbers in the factors are -8 and +3

(2x - 8) (2x + 3) = 0

That is the factored equation. Now you can solve

8) a) 2x - 8 = 0 => 2x = 8 => x = 8/2 => x = 4

b) 2x + 3 = 0 => 2x = - 3 => x = - 3/2

Answer: the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -3/2
