First set up a linear equation and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.

It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)

Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c

Build a set of 3 equations from the table:

C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6

Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6

-2.4 =4a-2b +6

1.4 = a-b +6

Rewrite the equations

a=b/2 -2.1

1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6

b = 5

a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4

replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6

Answer:

If Henry walks along the sidewalks, he will walk 1.7 miles in total. It will take him 17 minutes to reach the store and another 17 minutes to come back.

If Henry cuts through the city, he will walk √(1.2² + 0.5²) = 1.3 miles in total. It will take him 22.3 minutes to reach the store and another 22.3 minutes to come back.

Even though Henry will need to walk a longer distance if he walks along the sidewalks, he will be able to reach the store and back back in a shorter time than if he cuts through the city.

Answer:

Nope

The absolute value of a number or an expression is always positive or zero. It cannot be negative. With absolute value, we are only interested in how far a number is from zero, not the direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number means the distance from 0. ... You cannot have negative distance, so it has to be positive.

How can you use absolute value to represent a negative number?

EX:

Subtract one number from the other and give the result the sign of the number that has the greater absolute value. 2 – 9 = -7 because the difference between 9 and 2 is 7 and the -9 has the larger absolute value making the result negative.
