This is a quadratic function:

f(x)=ax²+bx+c

We have three points:
(0 , 77.6)     
(5 ,  78)
(10 , 78.6)

Then, we make the function wiht these points:
(0 , 77.6)

x=0
f(x)=77.6

a(0)²+b(0)+c=77.6
c=77.6

(5 , 78)
a(5)²+b(5)+77.6=78
25a+5b=78-77.6
25a+5b=0.4         (1)

(10 , 78.6)
a(10)²+b(10)+77.6=78.6
100a+10b=78.6-77.6
100a+10b=1        (2)

With the equations (1) and (2) we have a system of equations:
100a+10b=1
  25a + 5b=0.4

We solve this system of equations by method of elimination.

   100a+10b=1
-4(25a+5b=0.4)
-----------------------------
           -10b=-0.6      ⇒    b=-0.6/-10=0.06

   100a+10b=1
-2(25a+5b=0.4)
----------------------------
     50a =  0.2          ⇒ a=0.2/50=0.004

We have a, b and c:
a=0.004
b=0.06
c=77.6

Therefore, the quadratic funtion is:
f(x)=0.004x²+0.06x+77.6
x=year of the beginning of the interval - 1980

The life expectancy for females born between 1995 and 2000 is when x=1995-1980=15
Therefore:
f(15)=0.004(15)²+0.06(15)+77.6
f(15)=0.004(225)+0.06(15)+77.6
f(15)=79.4

The life expectancy for females born between 2000 and 2005 is when:
x=2000-1980=20
therefore:
f(20)=0.004(20)²+0.06(20)+77.6
f(20)=1.6+1.2+77.6
f(20)=80.4

Answer:
The funtion is:
f(x)=0.004x²+0.06x+77.6
x=year of the beginning of the interval - 1980

The life expectancy for females born between 1995 and 2000 is 79.4 years.
The life expectancy for females born between 2000 and 2005 is 80.4 years.

To solve this problem we have to use the quadratic function. An <span>equation where the highest exponent is (usually "x") is a square (2).</span>

Quadratic function = f(x)=ax²+bx+c

Three points have been given to us

⇒ (0 , 77.6)      
⇒ (5 ,  78)
⇒ (10 , 78.6)

Calculations 

(0 , 77.6)

x=0
f(x)=77.6

a(0)²+b(0)+c=77.6
c=77.6

(5 , 78)
a(5)²+b(5)+77.6=78
25a+5b=78-77.6
25a+5b=0.4.............. (1)

(10 , 78.6)
a(10)²+b(10)+77.6=78.6
100a+10b=78.6-77.6
100a+10b=1.............. <span>(2)
</span>
As you see equations number (1) and (2) have a system

100a+10b=1
    25a + 5b=0.4

We solve this system we have to use elimination.  In the elimination method you can add or subtract the equations to get an equation into one variable.



   100a+10b=1
-4(25a+5b=0.4)
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
           -10b=-0.6     
 

⇒    b=-0.6/-10=0.06

   100a+10b=1
-2(25a+5b=0.4)
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
     50a =  0.2         
 
⇒ a=0.2/50=0.004

Now we have a, b and c:

α = 0.004
β = 0.06
c = 77.6

Therefore, the quadratic function is:

f(x)=0.004x²+0.06x+77.6

x=year of the beginning of the interval - 1980

The life expectancy for females born between 1995 and 2000 is when

x=1995-1980=15

Therefore we do 

f(15)=0.004(15)²+0.06(15)+77.6
f(15)=0.004(225)+0.06(15)+77.6
f(15)=79.4

Females between 2000 and 2005 

x=2000-1980=20

Now we do 

f(20)=0.004(20)²+0.06(20)+77.6

f(20)=1.6+1.2+77.6

f(20)=80.4



The life expectancy for females born between 1995 and 2000 = 79.4 years.

The life expectancy for females born between 2000 and 2005 = 80.4 years.

Please Help! Nathan receives a coupon in the mail for $10 off of a purchase of $100 or more. If he buys 3 pairs of board shorts
Trava [24]

Answer:   104.77 $ without coupon

                  94.77 $ with coupon


Step-by-step explanation:

25.99 Times 3 = 77.97 $

5.65 times 2 =  11.3 $

77.97+11.3=89.27 $

89.27 + 15.50 = 104.77 $

104.77 - 10 dollars of coupon = 94.77 $
