To solve this, you can do it the easy way or hard way

easy way is to know some stuff about parabolas and zeroes

hard way is to subsitute for x and f(x) and solve for a,b, and c with a system of 3 variables (harder)



I'm going to do the easy way
nice we are given some zeroes

when f(x)=0, x=-2
since it is quadratic, it is 2nd degree and we can write all 2nd degree functions in the form f(x)=a(x-b)(x-c)
where a is some random constant and b and c are the x intercepts
we are given that when f(x)=0, x=-2, that means one x intercept is at -2
so lets say b=-2
f(x)=a(x-(-2))(x-c)
f(x)=a(x+2)(x-c)
great, now to find the other values
when x=0, y=-6
subsitute 0 for x and see what happens
-6=a(0+2)(0-c)
-6=a(2)(-c)
-6=-2ac
divide by -2 both sides
3=ac
cool
we revisit our equation
f(x)=a(x+2)(x-c)
now if we solve for a, we can do
3=ac, a=3/c, subsitute 3/c for a
f(x)=(3/c)(x+2)(x-c)
subsitute (4,78)
78=(3/c)(4+2)(4-c)
78=(3/c)(6)(4-c)
divide both sides by 6 for ease
13=(3/c)(4-c)
13=12/c-3
add 3 to both sides
16=12/c
multiply both sides by c
16c=12
divide both sides by 16
c=12/16
c=0.75
find a
a=3/c
a=3/0.75
a=4
if might be best to leave in fraction form
a=4
c=0.75=3/4

the equation is
f(x)=4(x+2)(x-\frac{3}{4})
in standard form as in ax^2+bx+c form
f(x)=4x^2+5x-6

Answer:

f(x) = 4x^2 + 5x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with table of values

Standard form of parabola equation is

f(x)=ax^2 +bx+c

Plug in the values given in the table and  make three equations

Then solve for a,b,c

x=-2 , f(x) = 0

So equation becomes 0= a(-2)^2+b(-2)+c

4 a - 2 b + c=0 --------> equation 1

x=0 , f(x) = -6

So equation becomes -6= a(0)^2+b(0)+c

c= -6

x=4 , f(x) = 78

So equation becomes 78= a(4)^2+b(4)+c

16 a + 4 b + c=78--------> equation 2

We got c=-6, plug in -6 in both equations 1  and 2

4 a - 2 b - c =0--------> equation 1

4a - 2 b = 6 --------------> equation 3

16 a + 4 b + c=78--------> equation 2

16 a + 4 b = 78+6

16 a + 4 b = 84 ------------> equation 4

Multiply the third equation by 2

4a - 2 b = 6 --------------> equation 3

8a - 4b = 12

16 a + 4 b = 84 ------------> equation 4 (add the  above equation)

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

24a = 96

Divide both sides by 24

so a= 4

Now plug in 4 for 'a' in equation 3

4a - 2 b = 6

4(4) -2b= 6

16 - 2b = 6

subtract 16 on both sides

-2b = -10

Divide both sides by -2

So b= 5

Hence a= 4, b=5  and c= -6

Standard form of parabola equation is

f(x)=ax^2 +bx+c

f(x) = 4x^2 + 5x -6

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain is gonna be ur x values and ur range is gonna be ur r(x) values

the domain has to do with the number of t-shirts.....and it can range from 0 to 25.......so it would be written as : [0,25]...include the brackets....not parenthesis...or all whole numbers from 0 to 25

the range has to do with the money made....and it can range from : -100 to 200....so it would be written as : [ -100,200] ..use brackets and not parenthesis.

HELPP I don’t get this at all. I originally got c but my teacher said it was incorrect. This is about volume and cylinders. Expl
EastWind [94]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is \pi r^2 h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.

\pi \cdot 3.25^2 \cdot 10=105.625\pi \text{ cm}^3

Therefore, the correct answer is choice B. Hope this helps!

Answer:

4.171\times10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First Number = 97

Second Number = 4.3\times10^4

We need to find the product of two numbers in Scientific notation.

Product of two numbers means we need to multiply two number.

Also The proper format for scientific notation is a x 10^b where a is a number or decimal number such that the absolute value of a is less than ten and is greater than or equal to one or, 1 ≤ |a| < 10. b is the power of 10 such that the scientific notation is mathematically equivalent to the original number.

Decimal points are moved until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The decimal number results as  a.

Number of decimal point moved needs to be counted. This number is b.

If decimal are moved  to the left b is positive.

If decimal are moved to the right b is negative.

If decimal are not moved b = 0.

scientific notation of a number can be written as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Hence the product is;

97\times4.3\times 10^4 = 417.1 \times 10^4

Expressing in Scientific Notation form we get

4.171 \times 10^6

Hence the Answer is 4.171 \times 10^6.
