Unit rate = 3.49/22 = $0.16
Answer:
a = 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Our strategy to solve this problem will be to use the information given in the table to obtain first the value of c in the quadratic equation which has the form ax^2 + bx + c and then form a system of 2 linear equations and solve for the coefficients a and b as follow:
from x=0 and y=-3 a*0 + b* 0 + c = - 3
c = -3
from x=1 and y= -3.75
a*(1) + *(1) + (-3) = -3.75
a + b = -3.75 + 3 = -0.75
from x= 2 and y = -4
a* (2)^2 + b*(2) + (-3) = -4
4a + 2b = -4 +1
4a + 2b = -1
Now we can solve the system f equations by elimination:
a + b = -0.75
4a + 2b = -1
multiply first equation by -2 and add to the second and get
-2a - 2b = +1.50
4a + 2b = -1
2a = 0.50 and substituting into any of the equations get b = -1
so the quadratic equation has a= 0.25 b= -1 c= -3
we can even plug the any of the other values for x given in the table and check the answer.
It won't go all the way up to 50, but to 49 at stage 13.
All you need to do is keep adding 3 for each stage until you get to 50, but in this case or problem, 49.
I hope this helps.=^D
A=Pi(r^2)
A=Pi(54.76)
The answer is 54.76 Pi
