Let us call them a, b and c
we know that
a+1=b
a+2=c
a+2b=12+c
we can deduce the following:
a+2(a+1)=12+(a+2)
3a+2=a+14
2a=12
a=6

so b would be 7 and c would be 8
Makes sense ?

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

Determine the value of x.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: 1) -5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve the problem you have to put it together:

9x-5 = 14x+24

then go from there : subtract 24 on both sides , then subtract 9x on both sides , that’ll leave you with : -29 = 5x

so from there we divide , giving us x= -5.8
