(0,00

(4.8,12.4)
(9.7,15.1)
b.
well, the points don't look like they are on the line but they actually are (plot twist)
so
since (0,0) is on th egarph
0=a(0)²+b(0)+c
0=c
so
f(x)=ax²+bx+0 or
f(x)=ax²+bx
find a and b
sub points
(2.6,7.9)
7.9=a(2.6)²+b(2.6)
7.9=6.76a+2.6b
(4.8,12.4)
12.4=a(4.8)²+b(4.8)
12.4=23.04a+4.8b
use those 2 equations
7.9=6.76a+2.6b
12.4=23.04a+4.8b
eliminate b
multiply first equation by -4.8 and 2nd by 2.6 and add them
-37.92=-32.448a-12.48b
32.24=59.904a-12.48b +
-5.68=27.456a+0b
-5.68=27.456a
divide both sides by 27.456
(-5.68/27.456)=a
find b
12.4=23.04a+4.8b
12.4=(-130.8672/27.456)+4.8b
12.4+(130.8672/27.456)=4.8b
(12.4+(130.8672/27.456))/4.8=b
da equation is
c. the roots are found with your calculator
the roots are at x=0 and x=17.287323943662
so very close to the target but not exactly on it
if the target has a radius of 0.287323943662 or more then it will hit the target
