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.

Graph the line. y=-4x+6 what the graph
Aloiza [94]
So the -4x is the M and then 6 is the B. So m is the slope and B is the y-intercept. The 6 goes on the y axis and the -4 will be how the line looks. It’ll be rise (-4) over run (1).

Answer:

D. 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(1.3) = 6.5

Since the value of r is .2 less than b, b would be 1.5

2(1.5) = 3

6.5+3=9.5
