Answer: y = 3x^{2} - 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in standard form of a parabola is given as :

y = ax^{2}  + bx + c

The points given are :

( -2 , 18 ) , ( 0,2) , ( 4 , 42)

This means that :

x_{1} = -2

x_{2} = 0

x_{3} = 4

y_{1} = 18

y_{2} = 2

y_{3} = 42

All we need do is to substitute each of this points into the equation , that is , x_{1} and y_{1} will be substituted to get an equation , x_{2} and y_{2} will be substituted to get an equation and x_{3} , y_{3} will also be substituted to get an equation also.

Starting with the first one , we have :

y = ax^{2}  + bx + c

18 = a[(-2)^{2}] + b (-2) + c

18 = 4a  - 2b + c

Therefore :

4a - 2b + c = 18 ................ equation 1

substituting the second values , we have

2 = a (0) + b ( 0) + c

2 = c

Therefore c = 2   ............... equation 2

also substituting the third values , we have

42 = a[(4)^{2}] + b (4) + c

42 = 16a + 4b + c

Therefore

16a + 4b + c = 42  ........... equation 3

Combining the three equations we have:

4a - 2b + c = 18 ................ equation 1

c = 2   ............... equation 2

16a + 4b + c = 42  ........... equation 3

Solving the resulting linear equations:

substitute equation 2 into equation 1 and equation 3 ,

substituting into equation 1 first we have

4a - 2b + 2 = 18

4a - 2b = 16

dividing through by 2 , we have

2a - b = 8 ............... equation 4

substituting c = 2 into equation 3 , we have

16a + 4b + c = 42

16a + 4b + 2 = 42

16a + 4b = 40

dividing through by 4 , we have

4a + b = 10 ................ equation 5

combining equation 4 and 5 , we have

2a - b = 8 ............... equation 4

4a + b = 10 ................ equation 5

Adding the two equations to eliminate b , we have

6a = 18

a = 18/6

a = 3

Substituting a = 3 into equation 4 to find the value of b , we have

2(3) - b = 8

6 - b = 8

b = 6 - 8

b = -2

Therefore :

a = 3 , b = -2 and c = 2

Substituting these values into the equation of parabola in standard form , we have

y = 3x^{2} - 2x + 2

How many whole cubecan be cut from a cuboid measuring 33 cm by 29 CM by 18 cm
xz_007 [3.2K]
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 33 x 29 x 18
             = 17,226
Number of whole cubes formed by the defined volume = 17,226/3
                                                                                       = 5742 cubes

Which number is an irrational number? (1 point)
NemiM [27]

Answer: The answer is (B). 1.01257486...

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given four real numbers out of which we are to select the one which is irrational.

Option (A) is 0.12, in which the digits after the decimal are terminating. So, the number is rational.

Option (B) is 1.01257486..., the digits after the decimal are non-terminating and non-recurring. So, the number is irrational.

Option (C) is 0.1212121212..., in which the digits after the decimal are non-terminating and recurring. So, the number is rational.

Option (D) is 0.11111111..., in which the digits after the decimal are non-terminating and repeating. So, the number is rational.

Thus, (B) is the correct option.
