Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x               -2              -1                 0                    1                   2

y               10            2.5                0                  2.5                3.0

Ist difference,

d_1=y_2-y_1

    =2.5-10=-7.5

d_2=y_3-y_2

    =0-2.5

    = -2.5

d_3=y_4-y_3

    =2.5-0

    = 2.5

d_4=y_5-y_4

    =10.0-2.5

    = 7.5

2nd difference,

x_1=d_2-d_1

    =-2.5+7.5

    = 5

x_2=d_3-d_2

    =2.5+2.5

    = 5

x_3=d_4-d_3

    =7.5-2.5

    = 5

Since 2nd difference is common, given table represents a quadratic equation.

Let the equation is,

y = ax²+ bx + c

For a point (0, 0) passing through the quadratic equation,

0 = c

Therefore, quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx

Since ordered pair (-1, 2.5) passes through the graph of the function,

2.5 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

a - b = 2.5 ------(1)

For another point (1, 2.5)

2.5 = a(1)² + b(1)

a + b = 2.5 ------(2)

By adding equations (1) and (2),

2a = 5

a = 2.5

and from equation (2)→ y = 0

Therefore, equation of the quadratic function given in the table is y = 2.5x²

Option (1) is the answer.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$9.12 each

Step-by-step explanation:

15 percent of 32.20 = 4.83. 32.20 - 4.83 = 27.37.

27.37/3 friends = about $9.12 each

Alexus [3.1K]

Alex bought all the string needed for $125.

It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet.

So if we closely observe then we see that here $125 is the fixed cost because its not going to change with number of puppets.

And the variable cost is $18.

In this case we can model a Total cost function C(x) for for x number of puppets as below

C(x)=125+18x\\ \\ \text{Here x is the number of puppets}\\ \\ \text{Since in our case the number of puppets is 50 so replace x by 50 we get }\\ \\ C(50)=125+18*50\\ \\ C(50)=125+900\\ \\ C(50)=1025  \ dollar.

The total cost to make 50 puppets=$1025
