Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. {-2,4}</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x, this way:

x + 4/4 = x /x -2

(x + 4) * ((x - 2) = 4 * x

x² - 2x + 4x -8 = 4x

x² - 2x + 4x -8 - 4x = 0

x² - 2x -8 = 0

(x - 4) * (x +2) = 0

x - 4 = 0

x + 2 = 0

x₁ = 4

x₂ = - 2

<u>The correct answer is B. {-2,4}</u>

Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

$6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c$

$6 = 0 + 0 + c$

$c = 6$

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6$

$16 = 4a + 2b + 6$

$16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6$

$10 = 4a + 2b$

$10 = 2(2a + b)$

$\frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2}$

$5 = 2a + b$

$2a + b = 5$ => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + x$

$33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6$

$33 = 9a + 3b + 6$

$33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6$

$27 = 9a + 3b$

$27 = 3(3a + b)$

$\frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3}$

$9 = 3a + b$

$3a + b = 9$ => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

$3a + b = 9$

$2a + b = 5$

$a = 4$

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

$2a + b = 5$

$2(4) + b = 5$

$8 + b = 5$

$8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8$

$b = -3$

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6$

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Factor each completely

avanturin [10]

K^2-5k-50
(k-10)(k+5)

This is because k*k=k^2 (your first term), 5k-10k=-5k (your second term) and -10*5=-50 (your last term).

Distribute to check.
