<h3>Answer:</h3>

The closest choice is ...

C)  27.48 and 5.20

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Using the equation ...

  y = ax² + bx + c

You can substitute the first three points to get linear equations in a, b, and c.

  10 = a(-3)² +b(-3) +c = 9a -3b +c

  4 = a(0)² + b(0) +c = c

  -1 = a(3)² + b(3) +c = 9a +3b +c

The second equation tells us c=4. Subtracting the first equation from the last, we get ...

  (9a +3b +c) -(9a -3b +c) = (-1) -(10)

  6b = -11

  b = -11/6

Then we can find "a" from the first equation:

  10 = 9a -3(-11/6) +4

  1/2 = 9a . . . . subtract 19/2

  1/18 = a . . . . . divide by 9

The model is ...

  y = (1/18)x² -(11/6)x +4 . . . . . . . . [call this "model A"]

  y = (x² -33x +72)/18

Solving this for y = -4, we have ...

  -4 = (x² -33x +72)/18

  x² -33x +144 = 0 . . . . . . multiply by 18, add 72

  (x -16.5)² -128.25 = 0 . . . . put in vertex form

  x = 16.5 ±√128.25 ≈ {5.17525, 27.8248}

___

The closest values to these among the choices offered are those of choice C. It appears that the coefficients of <em>model A</em> were rounded to 3 decimal places (or so) before the predicted x-values were computed.

The population of a particular type of bacteria is known to triple in 22 days. What is the daily growth rate
Paul [167]

Answer: ∛(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that at day 0 the population was A.

at day 3, the population will be: 3*A

at day 6, the population will be 3*(3*A) = A*3^2

then, at day N = 3*n (where n = 0, 1, 2.....) the population will be:

P(N) = A*3^n

Particularly, if we take n = 1/3 we will have:

N = 3*1/3 = 1

This means that this is the first day after the day 0.

P(1) = A*3^(1/3)

(then in day one, the population grow by a factor of 3^(1/3))

N = 2 is when n = 2/3, then:

P(2) = A*3^(2/3)

The quotient between P(2) and P(1) is equal to the growth between day one and day two, this should be the same as the growth between day zero and day one.

A*3^(2/3)/(A*3^(1/3)) = 3^( 2/3 - 1/3) = 3^(1/3)

So we found that the daily growth rate is 3^(1/3) or ∛(3)

What is the volume of the box if it is scaled down by the a factor of 1/10? 14in height 8inlegth 3in width
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

0.336 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale down all the proportions:

14 × 0.10 = 1.4

8 × 0.10 = 0.8

3 × 0.10 = 0.3

Multiply new proportions:

1.4 × 0.8 × 0.3 = 0.336

4x + 1/3y^2
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
1.) Plug x and y to the formula:

4(2) + 1/3(3)^2

2.) Simplify

8 + 1/3(9)

= 8 + 3

= 11


Hope this helped!!!
