Answer:

f(x)=0.5x^2-3x+5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see by some observation that this is not linear because the slopes aren't constant.

So, let's see if it's quadratic. Suppose that it is and the function we want to find is: f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

Plug in some of the given values into the equation:

3 = a + b + c               ------------ eq 1

1 = 9a + 3b + c           ------------ eq 2

1.5 = 4a + 2b + c        ------------ eq 3

Let's multiply eq 3 by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2:

   1 =  9a + 3b + c

-  3 = 8a + 4b + 2c

----------------------------

  -2 = a - b - c

Now, add this equation to eq 1:

   -2 = a - b - c

+   3 = a + b + c

-----------------------

    1 = 2a

    a = 1/2 = 0.5

Now, plug this value of a back into both eq 3 and eq 1:

Eq 3: 1.5 = 4 * 0.5 + 2b + c  ⇒  1.5 = 2 + 2b + c  ⇒  -0.5 = 2b + c     ----- eq 5

Eq 1: 3 = 0.5 + b + c  ⇒  b + c = 2.5   ------ eq 4

So, we have a system of linear equations. Subtract eq 4 from eq 5:

    2b + c = -0.5

-      b + c = 2.5

-------------------------

      b = -3

Substitute this value of b into b + c = 2.5 and solve for c:

-3 + c = 2.5

c = 5.5

So, a = 0.5, b = -3, and c = 5.5. Now, our equation is:

f(x)=0.5x^2-3x+5.5

Hope this helps!

if Paula wants the tops of the latter to reach exactly 8 feet up the building, what is x, the distance between the building and
cluponka [151]

Answer:

6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall forms a right angle that is across from the ladder, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the value of 'x':

a² + b² = c², where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the diagonal or hypotenuse.  

Using 8 for 'a' and 10 for 'c':

8² + x² = 10²

64 + x² = 100

Subtract 64 from both sides:

64 - 64 + x² = 100 - 64 or x² = 36

Take the square root of both sides:

√x² = √36

x = 6 ft
