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.

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = (x – 8). What is the slop
ch4aika [34]
So slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope b=y intercept
convert current equation to slpe intercept
y-4=x-8
add 4 to both sides
y=x-4

A survey 3,000 who bought a new car showed that 900 had problems. What is the relative frequency of the people that had problems
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Presuming that "survey 3,000" is the total and "900" is the factor who had problems then dividing the total amount by the amount of problems like equal the relative frequency of people that had problems

Math:

Amount of people you had problems / Amount of people who bought the new car.

900 / 3000 = 0.3

Now you need to multiply by 100% (because % in this case is a unit/measurement)

0.3 * 100% = 30%
