It would be 9 because 2x9=18. Then 18+-2=16.

N is the number
2(n-2)=16
divide both sides by 2
n-2=8
add 2 to both sides
n=10

the number is 10

Help!! Find missing value for each quadratic function

Svetllana [295]

I'll do the first one to get you started. The answer is -3

=================================================

Explanation:

When x = -1, y = 0 as shown in the first column. The second column says that (x,y) = (0,1) and the third column says (x,y) = (1,0)

We'll use these three points to determine the quadratic function that goes through them all.

The general template we'll use is y = ax^2 + bx + c

------------

Plug in (x,y) = (0,1). Simplify

y = ax^2 + bx + c

1 = a*0^2 + b*0 + c

1 = 0a + 0b + c

1 = c

c = 1

------------

Plug in (x,y) = (-1,0) and c = 1

y = ax^2 + bx + c

0 = a*(-1)^2 + b(-1) + 1

0 = 1a - 1b + 1

a-b+1 = 0

a-b = -1

a = b-1

------------

Plug in (x,y) = (1,0), c = 1, and a = b-1

y = ax^2 + bx + c

0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 1 ... replace x with 1, y with 0, c with 1

0 = a + b + 1

0 = b-1 + b + 1 ... replace 'a' with b-1

0 = 2b

2b = 0

b = 0/2

b = 0

------------

If b = 0, then 'a' is...

a = b-1

a = 0-1

a = -1

------------

In summary so far, we found: a = -1, b = 0, c = 1

Therefore, y = ax^2 + bx + c turns into y = -1x^2 + 0x + 1 which simplifies to y = -x^2 + 1

------------

The last thing to do is plug x = 2 into this equation and simplify

y = -x^2 + 1

y = -2^2 + 1

y = -4 + 1

y = -3

If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

a) Average velocity at 0.1 s is 696 ft/s.

b) Average velocity at 0.01 s is 7536 ft/s.

c) Average velocity at 0.001 s is 75936 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by $y = 70t-16t^2$ .
