<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.

mrs. johnson gave a sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 5:6. Her daughter received $2400. how muh did Mrs. Johnson
Tresset [83]
To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son.  Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.

So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.
To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.

The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.

Someone please help me
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

x=-1,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the given equation with (x+1) on both sides. We'll get,

x+2/x=-3

or,x^2+2=-3x

or,x^2+3x+2=0

or,x^2+2x+x+2=0

or,x(x+2)+1(x+2)=0

or,(x+2)(x+1)=0

or,x=-2,-1
