The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
   see below
Step-by-step explanation:
The shading is below the line in both cases. The dashed line has negative slope, so the inequality associated with it is ...
   y < -2x +4 . . . . . . note that the < symbol has no "or equal to"
The solid line has positive slope, so its inequality is ...
   y ≤ 2x +4
Both these inequalities are found in choice B.

Answer:
a) 
a1 = log(1) = 0 (2⁰ = 1)
a2 = log(2) = 1 (2¹ = 2)
a3 = log(3) = ln(3)/ln(2) = 1.098/0.693 = 1.5849
a4 = log(4) = 2 (2² = 4)
a5 = log(5) = ln(5)/ln(2) = 1.610/0.693 = 2.322
a6 = log(6) = log(3*2) = log(3)+log(2) = 1.5849+1 = 2.5849 (here I use the property log(a*b) = log(a)+log(b)
a7 = log(7) = ln(7)/ln(2) = 1.9459/0.6932 = 2.807 
a8 = log(8) = 3 (2³ = 8)
a9 = log(9) = log(3²) = 2*log(3) = 2*1.5849 = 3.1699 (I use the property log(a^k) = k*log(a) ) 
a10 = log(10) = log(2*5) = log(2)+log(5) = 1+ 2.322= 3.322
b) I can take the results of log n we previously computed above to calculate 2^log(n), however the idea of this exercise is to learn about the definition of log_2: 
log(x) is the number L such that 2^L = x. Therefore 2^log(n) = n if we take the log in base 2. This means that
a1 = 1
a2 = 2
a3 = 3
a4 = 4
a5 = 5
a6 = 6
a7 = 7
a8 = 8
a9 = 9 
a10 = 10
I hope this works for you!!
