Determine an equation of a Quadratic function

Mathematics

Pepsi [2]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

y = -4x² + 32x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is  

y = ax² + bx + c

We must find the equation that passes through the points:

(2, 0), (6,0), and (3, 12)

We can substitute these values and get three equations in three unknowns.

0 = a(2²) + b(2) + c

0 = a(6²) + b(6) + c

12 = a(3²) + b(3) + c

We can simplify these to get the system of equations:

(1)   0 =    4a + 2b + c

(2)  0 = 36a + 6b + c

(3) 12 =   9a + 3b + c

Eliminate c from equations (1) and (2). Subtract (1) from (2).

(4) 0 = 32a + 4b

Eliminate c from equations (2) and (3). Subtract (3) from (2).

(5) -12 = 27a - 3b

Simplify equations (4) and (5).

(6)  0 = 8a + b

(7) -4 = 9a  - b

Eliminate b by adding equations (6) and (7).

(8) a = -4

Substitute (4) into (6).

    0 = -32 + b

(9) b =  32

Substitute a and b into (1)

0 = 4(-4) + 2(32) + c

0 = -16 + 64 + c

0 = 48 + c

c = -48

The coefficients are

a= -4, b = 32, c = -48

The quadratic equation is

y = -4x² + 32x - 48

The diagram below shows the graph of your quadratic equation and the three points through which it passes.

Mary is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect? Which coordinates if they do? Negat
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The graphs of the two function will not intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a quadratic function f(x).

Also g(x) is given by a set of values as:

 x            g(x)

 1              -1

  2             0

  3              1

As g(x) is a linear function hence we find out the equation of g(x) by the slope intercept form of a line: y=mx+c

let g(x)=y

when x=1 ,   g(x)=-1

-1=m+c----(1)

when x=2   , g(x)=0

0=2m+c------(2)

Hence, on solving (1) and (2) by method of elimination we get:

m=1 and c=-2

Hence, the equation of g(x) is:

g(x)=x-2

So clearly from the graph we could see that the graph of the two functions will never intersect.
