Answer:

—5/4 or —1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x – 5 = 5x + 2x

Collect like terms

—5 = 5x + 2x — 3x

—5 = 4x

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 4

x = —5/4 or —1 1/4

Approximately 70% of the visitors to the theme park are older than about 12.3.

A z-score of about -0.53 is position on the normal distribution for finding the amount above 30% (70%).

Therefore, we can write and solve the following equation:

(x - 15) / 5.2 = -0.53
x - 15 = -2.756
x = 12.244

The closest amount is 12.3.

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

We substitute $(-4,9)$ into the equation to obtain;

$9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c$

$\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)$

We substitute $(0,-7)$ to obtain;

$-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)$

We finally substitute $(1,-1)$ to obtain;

$-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

$9=16a-4b-7$

$16a-4b=16$

$\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7$

$\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)$

We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

$4a+a=6+4$

$\Rightarrow 5a=10$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

We put $a=2$ into equation (5) to get;

$2+b=6$

$\Rightarrow b=6-2$

$\Rightarrow b=4$

The reqiured quadratic function is

$y=2x^2+4x-7$
