Answer:

f(x)=9(x+\frac{1}{6})^2-\frac{21}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we need to find the equation of a parabolic function that goes through the points (-3,67) and (-1,1) and has a stretch factor of 9.

In other words, we want to find a quadratic with a vertical stretch of 9 that goes through the points (-3,67) and (-1,1).

To do so, we first need to write some equations. Let's use the vertex form of the quadratic equation. The vertex form is:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Where a is the leading coefficient and (h,k) is the vertex.

Since a is the leading coefficient, it's also our stretch factor. Thus, let a equal 9.

Also, we have two points. We can interpret them as functions. In other words, (-3,67) means that f(-3) equals 67 and (-1,1) means that f(-1) equals 1. Write the two equations:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k\\f(-3)=67=9((-3)-h)^2+k

And:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k\\f(-1)=1=9((-1)-h)^2+k

Now, we essentially have a system of equations. Thus, to find the original equation, we just need to solve for the vertex. To do so, first isolate the k term in the second equation:

1=9(-1-h)^2+k\\k=1-9(-1-h)^2

Now, substitute this value to the first equation:

67=9(-3-h)^2+k\\67=9(-3-h)^2+(1-9(-1-h)^2)

And now, we just have to simplify.

First, from each of the square, factor out a negative 1:

67=9((-1)(h+3))^2+(1-9(((-1)(h+1))^2)

Power of a product property:

67=9((-1)^2(h+3)^2)+(1-9((-1)^2(h+1)^2))

The square of -1 is positive 1. Thus, we can ignore them:

67=9(h+3)^2+(1-9(h+1)^2)

Square them. Use the trinomial pattern:

67=9(h^2+6h+9)+(1-9(h^2+2h+1))

Distribute:

67=(9h^2+54h+81)+(1-9h^2-18h-9)

Combine like terms:

67=(9h^2-9h^2)+(54h-18h)+(81+1-9)

The first set cancels. Simplify the second and third:

67=36h+73

Subtract 73 from both sides. The right cancels:

67-73=36h+73-73\\36h=-6

Divide both sides by 36:

(36h)/36=(-6)/36\\h=-1/6

Therefore, h is -1/6.

Now, plug this back into the equation we isolated to solve for k:

k=1-9(-1-h)^2

First, remove the negative by simplifying:

k=1-9((-1)(h+1))^2\\k=1-9((-1)^2(h+1)^2)\\k=1-9(h+1)^2

Plug in -1/6 for h:

k=1-9(-\frac{1}{6}+1)^2

Add. Make 1 into 6/6:

k=1-9(-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{6}{6})^2\\  k=1-9(\frac{5}{6})^2

Square:

k=1-9(\frac{25}{36})

Multiply. Note that 36 is 9 times 4:

k=1-9(\frac{25}{9\cdot4})\\ k=1-\frac{25}{4}

Convert 1 into 4/4 and subtract:

k=\frac{4}{4}-\frac{25}{4}\\  k=-\frac{21}{4}

So, the vertex is (-1/6, -21/4).

Now, plug everything back into the very original equation with 9 as a:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k\\f(x)=9(x+\frac{1}{6})^2-\frac{21}{4}

And this is our answer :)

Deane is flying to a destination that is 2745 miles away. The plane's average speed is 450 mph. Write the slope-intercept form o
Dmitriy789 [7]
The equation in y = mx+b form is y = -450x+2745

where,
x = number of hours that have passed by
y = distance to destination in miles

The y intercept is 2745 since this is the initial starting y value, aka the starting distance. Therefore b = 2745.

The slope is -450 or -450/1 since for each hour, the distance goes down by 450. You can think of it as
slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
slope = (change in distance)/(change in time)
slope = (-450 miles)/(1 hour)
slope = -450

Tickets for a minor league baseball game for an adult and two children cost a total of $21 the adult ticket is three dollars mor
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:the cost of one child's ticket is $6

the cost of one adult ticket is $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one child's ticket

Let y represent the cost of one adult ticket.

Tickets for a minor league baseball game for an adult and two children cost a total of $21. This means that

2x + y = 21 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The adult ticket is three dollars more than a child's ticket. This means that

y = x + 3

Substituting y = x + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + x + 3 = 21

3x + 3 = 21

3x = 21 - 3 = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

y = x + 3 = 6 + 3

y = 9
