Answer: a = -2, b = -2, c = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c.

Then:

y' = 2*a*x + b

y'' = 2*a.

Then we can write the equation:

y′′ + y′ − 2y = 4x^2.

as:

2*a + 2*a*x + b - 2*(a*x^2 + b*x + c) = 4*x^2

To solve this, the first step is moving all the terms to the same side:

2*a + 2*a*x + b - 2*a*x^2 - 2*b*x - 2*c - 4*x^2 = 0

Now let's group terms with the same power of x.

(-4 - 2*a)*x^2 + (-2*b + 2*a)*x + (-2c + b) = 0

Now, this must be zero for all the values of x, then the parenthesis must be equal to zero:

-4 - 2*a = 0

-2*b + 2*a = 0

-2*c + b = 0

From the first equation:

-4 - 2*a = 0

-4 = 2*a

-4/2 = a

a = -2

And from the second equation:

-2*b + 2*a = 0

2*a = 2*b

a = b

b = -2.

From the third equation we have:

-2c + b = 0

-2c = b

c = b/-2 = -2/-2 = 1.

c = 1

Then our equation is:

y = -2*x^2 - 2*x + 1.

Gnom [1K]

It seems it should be the other way... . How soon will the puppy catch up with the kitten.

The way you have it the kitten will never catch the pup. There is already 180m between them so, the distance will only increase because the puppy runs faster than the cat.

If the puppy runs after the cat, will eventually catch up with it and can be calculated. Not the other way around.

If the pup runs after the cat, the distance between them will decrease and the pup will catch the cat.

RT = D kitten

RT = D+180 puppy

20T = D

25T = D + 180

Substitution

25T = 20T +180

5T = 180

T = 36s

1. Undefined

2. -3/5

3. Undefined

...

7. 493

8. 5/2

....

Learn how to find the slope below for the other problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the rate of change for a linear function. It is found by subtracting the y values of two point on the line and dividing that difference by the difference of the x values of the points.

It can also be found using the formula y=mx+b known as the slope intercept form.

Here are a few examples:

0. This is a horizontal line which always has slope 0.

1. This is a vertical line which always has slope undefined.

2. Find two points that cross through a grid line intersection The line appears to cross them at (5,3) and (0,6). Count the unit squares between the two by counting up 3 and over to the left 5. Because it is left it is negative. The slope is -3/5

3. To find the slope, use the slope formula:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6--4}{-2--2}=\frac{6+4}{-2+2}=\frac{10}{0}=undefined

Since we can't divide by 0, it is undefined.

7. y=493x-257 follows the formula y=mx+b where m is the slope. m=493. The slope is 493.

8. Covert the equation into y=mx+b by rearranging the terms using y=mx+b.

5x-2y=48

-2y=48-5x

y=5/2 x -24

So the slope is 5/2.
