The point lies directly on the regression line.
So hmmm check the picture below
so... the vertex is "p" distance from the focus and the directrix, thus, the vertex is really half-way between both
in this case, 2 units up from the focus or 2 units down from the directrix, and thus it lands at 3,3
now, the "p" distance is 2, however, the directrix is up, the focus point is below it, the parabola opens towards the focus point, thus, the parabola is opening downwards, and the squared variable is the "x"
because the parabola opens downwards, "p" is negative, and thus, -2
now, let's plug all those fellows in then
That would be

, but it is also equal to just

. You would simplify the

part, and you would get

, or if you need a decimal,

But don't forget the negative part, so the answer would be

or
Answer:
Cost of 1 bushes = a = $9
Cost of 1 tree = b = $73.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
13 bushes and 4 trees cost = $411
Missing;
6 bushes and 2 trees cost = $201
Find:
Value of bushes and tree
Computation:
Cost of 1 bushes = a
Cost of 1 tree = b
So,
13a + 4b = 411 ...........eq1
6a + 2b = 201 ................eq2
From Eq1 and Eq2
Cost of 1 bushes = a = $9
From eq 1
13a + 4b = 411
13(9) + 4b = 411
Cost of 1 tree = b = $73.5
Answer:
-2(x + 1)(x + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: -2x^3-14x^2 - 12x
Note that all three terms are evenly divisible by -2x, leaving the quotient x^2 + 7x + 6.
This quotient is also easily factored:
-2x^3-14x^2 - 12x = -2(x^2 + 7x + 6) = -2(x + 1)(x + 6)
