<span>Using the points (2, 45) (4, 143) and (10, 869), we can plug them into the following system of 3 equations using the y = ax^2 + bx + c format:

45 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + c
143 = a(4)^2 + b(4) + c
869 = a(10)^2 + b(10) + c

which simplifies to:

45 = 4a + 2b + c
143 = 16a + 4b + c
869 = 100a + 10b + c

Solving the system, we get a = 9, b = -5, and c = 19. Thus the equation is:

c(x) = 9x^2 - 5x + 19

If you have a TI graphing calculator, you can also enter the points by pressing Stat -> Edit and enter (2, 45) (4, 143) and (10, 869) into it. Go back and calculate the QuadReg of the points from the Calc tab and it will give you the same answer.

Now that we know the function that will produce the price of production for any number of calculators, plug in x = 7 and it will give you the price to produce 7 calculators.

c(x) = 9x^2 - 5x + 19
==> c(7) = 9(7)^2 - 5(7) + 19
==> c(7) = 441 - 35 + 19
==> c(7) = 425

Therefore, it costs $425 to produce 7 calculators.

Hope this helps.

Help<br> Please<br> I<br> Don’t<br> Understand
Nat2105 [25]

Answer: -4x+5>-5=x>2.5

-25>-5(x+2.5)=x<2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+5>-5 -25>-5(x+2.5)

-5 -5 -25>-5x-12.5

-4x>-10 +12.5 +12.5

/-4 /-4 -12.5>-5x

x>2.5 /-5 /-5

2.5>x

x<2.5

Removing which point from the coordinate plane would make the graph a function of x? mc006-1.jpg
Marianna [84]
B. (-2,1)

By checking the x coordinates, I saw there was two -2, but the output was different, so one of them had to be taken out to make it a function.

Function: Every input must have one out must.

System of equations- does this have one solution, many solutions or no solution
Alla [95]

Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rewrite y = 6 - 3x as y = -3x + 6

Looking at these two equations, we can see they share a y-intercept

Making our solution 6

We know there is only one solution because the equations are not the exact same, if they were we'd have infinitely many solutions

We also know there aren't no solutions because the lines are not parallel (same slopes with difference y-intercepts)

Best of luck
