Answer: 5.5hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance = 226miles

Total time = 7 hours

Let b represent total time spent while walking.

Distance (walking) = 4b

Distance ( riding) = 40(7-b)

Total distance 226 = 4b + 40(7-b)

226 = 4b + 280 - 40b

226 = 280-36b

b = 54/36

b = 1.5hours

Amount of time spent walking = 1.5hours

Amount of time spent riding = 7-1.5 = 5.5hours

Amount of time spent on bicycle = 5.5hours

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below: x-intercepts: (-1,0) and (4,0); y-intercept: (0,1)
Luda [366]

Answer:

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.

Thus, we have;

(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0

Now, formula for quadratic equation is;

y = ax² + bx + c

Where c is the y intercept.

At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;

At (-1,0), thus;

0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1

a + b = -1 - - - (1)

At (4,0), thus;

0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1

16a + 4b = -1

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)

From eq 1, b = -1 - a

Thus;

4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4

4a - 1 - a = -1/4

3a - 1 = -1/4

3a = 1 - 1/4

3a = 3/4

a = 1/4

b = -1 - 1/4

b = -5/4

Thus;

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
