Answer:

$4.68\times10^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as a way of writing very large or very small numbers.

A number between 1 to 10 is written in scientific notation when it is multiplied by a power of 10.

Here the given scenario is :

A star has a diameter of 4,680,000,000 units.

So, in scientific notation we can write this as :

$4.68\times10^9$

We can check this if we multiply this by 10^9. This will shift the decimal to 9 places in the right side.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Part 1) The function of the First graph is $f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) The function of the Second graph is $f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) The function of the Third graph is $f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$

See the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-c)(x-d)$

where

a is the leading coefficient

c and d are the roots or zeros of the function

Part 1) First graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-1 and x=3

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-3)(x+1)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (1,-4)

substitute and solve for a

$-4=a(1-3)(1+1)$

$-4=a(-2)(2)$

$a=1$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=(x-3)(x+1)$

Part 2) Second graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-3 and x=1

The parabola open down, so the leading coefficient a is negative

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-1)(x+3)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (-1,8)

substitute and solve for a

$8=a(-1-1)(-1+3)$

$8=a(-2)(2)$

$a=-2$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=-2(x-1)(x+3)$

Part 3) Third graph

we know that

The solutions or zeros of the first graph are

x=-2 and x=6

The parabola open up, so the leading coefficient a is positive

The function is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-6)(x+2)$

Find the value of the coefficient a

The vertex is equal to the point (2,-8)

substitute and solve for a

$-8=a(2-6)(2+2)$

$-8=a(-4)(4)$

$a=0.5$

therefore

The function is equal to

$f(x)=0.5(x-6)(x+2)$
