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.

Giselle's youth club sells cookies to fund their trips and activities. Each year they need to earn $1,247 from selling cookies.
algol [13]

Price per box, P = $1.45 .

Money left, M = $1247 - $472.70 = $774.3  .

Let, number of boxes are x.

So,

x = \dfrac{774.3}{1.45}\\\\x = 534\ boxes

Therefore, they have to sell 534 more boxes.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

fraction 1 and 3 over 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3 is equal to 8 blocks

5:12 is equal to 5 blocks

if you divide them, the result is:

8/5 which is the same as 1 3/5

because 5 is contained 1 time in 8 and the rest is 3
