Answer:Gary made 15 baskets.
Susan made 10 baskets.
Bill made 17 baskets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of baskets that Gary made.
Let y represent the number of baskets that Susan made.
Let z represent the number of baskets that Bill made.
Gary made 5 baskets than Susan this season. This means that
x = y + 5
Bill made 3 less than twice as many baskets as Susan. This means that
z = 2y - 3
Together, all three made 42 baskets. This means that
x + y + z = 42 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = y + 5 and z = 2y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 5 + y + 2y - 3 = 42
4y + 2 = 42
4y = 42 - 2 = 40
y = 40/4 = 10
x = y + 5 = 10 + 5
x = 15
z = 2y - 3 = 2 × 10 - 3
z = 20 - 3 = 17

Answer:
a.) f(x) = -⅙(x+3)²+6
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum value, our vertex, is at point (-3,6).
We can insert this value into the vertex form of a quadratic function and then solve for a as follows...
a equals -1/6... We can input this into the original equation we used...
f(x) = -1/6(x+3)^2+6
Good luck on the bellwork ;)
-2 negative 2 is the answer
