Please Help! 30 POINTS! Given the following three points, find by hand the quadratic function they represent. (−1,−8), (0,−1),(1

,2) A. f(x)=−3x2+4x−1 B. f(x)=−2x2+5x−1 C. f(x)=−3x2+10x−1 D. f(x)=−5x2+8x−1 Determine if the following set of ordered pairs represents a quadratic function. Explain. (5, 7), (7, 11), (9, 14), (11, 18) A. The y-values go up by the square of the x-value (22=4). Therefore, the ordered pairs represent a quadratic equation. B. The y-values go up by the square of the x-value (22=4). Therefore, the ordered pairs do not represent a quadratic equation. C. Since the differences between the x-values is 2 and the differences between the y-values is 4, that means that the differences between the differences of the y-values are all zero. Therefore, the ordered pairs represent a quadratic equation. D. Since the differences between the differences of the y-values is not consistent, the ordered pairs do not represent a quadratic equation.

Answer:

(1) B

(2) D

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Let the quadratic function be:

y = ax^{2} + bx + c

For the point, (0,-1),

y = ax^{2} + bx + c

-1=(a\times0)+(b\times0}+c\\-1=c\\c=-1

Then the equation is:

y = ax^{2} + bx -1

For the point (-1, -8) ,

y = ax^{2} + bx -1

-8=(a\times (-1)^{2})+(b\times -1)-1\\-8=a-b-1\\a-b=-7...(i)

For the point (1, 2) ,

y = ax^{2} + bx -1

2=(a\times (1)^{2})+(b\times 1)-1\\2=a+b-1\\a+b=3...(ii)

Add the two equations and solve for <em>a</em> as follows:

a-b=-7\\a+b=3\\\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\\2a = -4\\a = -2

Substitute <em>a</em> = -2 in (i) and solve for <em>b</em> as follows:

a-b=-7\\-2-b=-7\\b=5

Thus, the quadratic function is:

f(x)=-2x^{2}+5x-1

The correct option is (b).

(2)

The ordered pairs are:

(5, 7), (7, 11), (9, 14), (11, 18)

Represent them in an XY table as follows:

X : 5 | 7 | 9 | 11

Y : 7 | 11 | 14 | 18

Compute the difference between the <em>Y</em> values as follows:

Diff = 11 - 7 = 4

Diff = 14 - 11 = 3

Diff = 18 - 14 = 4

Now compute the difference between the Diff values:

d = 3 - 4 = -1

d = 4 - 3 = 1

Since the differences between the differences of the y-values is not consistent, the ordered pairs do not represent a quadratic equation.

The correct option is D.

This equation has one solution. 5(x – 1) + 3x = 7(x + 1) What is the solution?
bogdanovich [222]
Open up the brackets
5x - 5 + 3x = 7x + 7
Collect like terms
5x + 3x - 7x = 7 + 5
Simplify
8x -7x = 12
x = 12
Therefore, your answer is 12.

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30. He wants to mix $5 per pound cashews with the peanuts to get a batch of mixed nut
seraphim [82]

Answer:

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Witch set of orderd pairs contains only points that are on the graph of the function y=12-3x
anygoal [31]
You can try then by plotting the points in. 
The answer is C

Make sure by plotting in the points, lets take (-5,27)
y = 12 -3(-5)
y = 12 + 15
y = 27
27 = 27
This is correct 

Lets try (-1,15)
y = 12 -3(-1)
y = 12 + 3 
y = 15 
15 = 15
This is correct 

Lets try (8,-12)
y = 12 -3(8)
y = 12 - 24 
y = -12 
-12 = -12
This is correct too. 

The correct ordered pairs are <span>C(-5,27),(-1,15),(8,-12)</span>
