**PLEASE HELP ASAP** Betsy is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?

We analyze the chart and observe that the linear function is y=x, since this relation holds for all values in the table.  Drawing this line over the quadratic function shows that they intersect twice, at both the positive and negative x-coordinates.

This is by far the easiest way to solve this problem, but if you're interested in learning how to do it algebraically, read on!  To prove this more rigorously, we can find that the equation of the parabola is y=\frac13 x^2 - 2.  Substituting in y=x, we find that the intersection points occur where \frac13 x^2 - 2 = x, or \frac13 x^2 - x - 2 = 0, or x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0.

This equation doesn't factor nicely, so we use the quadratic formula to learn that x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-6)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{33}}{2}.  Hence, the x-coordinates of the intersection points are \frac{3 + \sqrt{33}}{2}, which is positive, and \frac{3 - \sqrt{33}}{2}, which is negative.  This proves that there are intersection points on both ends of the axis.

y = 3/2x + b

Plug in the point (2,2) and solve for b.

2 = (3/2)(2) + b

2 = 3 + b

b = -1

Final equation is y = 3/2x - 1.

Select ALL that apply: 21 days is equal to...
Sonbull [250]

1 week is 7 days.

3 weeks = 21 days. Answer D. is correct.


A hour is 3600 seconds

24 hours ( a day ) is 86400 seconds

21 days is 1814400 seconds.    * This is not an option *


Since 24 hours are in a day 24 hours x 21 days is 504 hours

Answer A. is correct


504 hours x 60 minutes per hour is 30240

Answer B. is correct. These are all the correct answers, A,B, and D.
