Answer:
y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.
Thus, we have;
(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0
Now, formula for quadratic equation is;
y = ax² + bx + c
Where c is the y intercept.
At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;
At (-1,0), thus;
0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1
a + b = -1 - - - (1)
At (4,0), thus;
0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1
16a + 4b = -1
Divide both sides by 4 to get;
4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)
From eq 1, b = -1 - a
Thus;
4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4
4a - 1 - a = -1/4
3a - 1 = -1/4
3a = 1 - 1/4
3a = 3/4
a = 1/4
b = -1 - 1/4
b = -5/4
Thus;
y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
2x + 3y = 630
x + y = 245 then you want to get rid of x so in the second equation × by -2 and get -2x -2y =-490 subtract this equation from the first to get y=$140 substitute 140 in for y and get x= $105 and 2x=210 and 3y=420 210 +420=630
First, find the area of the plot:
25*10=250
1000/250 is 4
the population density is 4 squirrels per square foot.
Answer:
5x² - 13x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
5x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 5x² - 15x + 2x - 6 ← collect like terms
= 5x² - 13x - 6
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- (x +1)² = 4
- (D) x = -1 ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.
3 = x² +2x
Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.
3 +1 = x² +2x +1
(x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form
__
To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.
x +1 = ±2
x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
