Answer:

The equation is;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation  or function f(x) is, f(x) = y = a·x² + b·x + c

Given that the points representing the quadratic function are;

(-1, -8), (0, -1), (1, 2) which  are of the form (x, y)

When x = -1, f(x) = y = -8

Plugging in the above values into the general form of a quadratic function, we have;

-8 = a·(-1)² + b·(-1) + c = a - b + c

-8  = a - b + c.........................(1)

When x = 0, y = -1, we have;

-1 = a·(0)² + b·(0) + c = c

c = -1.......................................(2)

When x = 1, y = 2, which gives;

2 = a·(1)² + b·(1) + c = a + b + c

2 = a + b + c........................(3)

Adding equation (1) to equation (3), we have;

-8 + 2 = a - b + c + a + b + c

-8 + 2 = 2·a + 2·c

From equation (2) c = -1, we get;

-8 + 2 = -6 = 2·a + 2·c = 2·a + 2 × (-1)

-6 = 2·a - 2

-4 = 2·a

a = -2

From equation (3), we have

2 = a + b + c

Substituting the values of a, and c gives;

2 = -2 + b - 1

b = 2 + 2 + 1 = 5

b = 5

The equation is therefore;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1.

Hi there! So the the new price is $93, and went up from $55. Let's subtract the numbers. 93 - 55 is 38. The change is 38. To find the percent markup, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

38/55 = x/100

This is because the amount of change goes above the original (55), and x represents the percent out of 100. We are looking for the markup. Let's cross multiply the values. 100 * 38 is 3,800. 55 * x is 55x. 3,800 = 55x. Now, divide each side by 55 to isolate the x. 55x/55 cancels out. 3,800/55 is 69.0909 or 69 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The percent of markup is approx. 69%.

Since the lines are perpendicular the opposite angle of labeled is also 60° and so would the two angles on the the lower just opposite way therefore 8x-4=60

Write an equation that is perpendicular to y=3/5x-1 and passes through the point (9,14)
Leokris [45]

Answer:

y=(-5/3)x+29

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use the base formula y=mx+b

In order to be perpendicular, the slope must be the flipped fraction and have the opposite sign, so our m is (-5/3)

y=(-5/3)x+b

You can plug in the (9,14) point in order to find the b

14=(-5/3)(9)+b

14=(-45/3)+b

14=(-15)+b

14+15=b

29=b

and so altogether our equation is y=(-5/3)x+29
