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

Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x- and the y- values with a comma. X=6+y -8x+9y=-29
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

x= 25, y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x = y + 6 | (equation 1)

9 y - 8 x = -29 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{x - y = 6 | (equation 1)

-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

x - y = 6 | (equation 2)

Add 1/8 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y/8 = 19/8 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 8:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Subtract 9 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(8 x)+0 y = -200 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -8:

{x+0 y = 25 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = 25 , y = 19
