A.
(0,00
(2.6,7.9)
(4.8,12.4)
(9.7,15.1)

b.
well, the points don't look like they are on the line but they actually are (plot twist)


so
since (0,0) is on th egarph

0=a(0)²+b(0)+c
0=c
so
f(x)=ax²+bx+0 or
f(x)=ax²+bx

find a and b
sub points

(2.6,7.9)
7.9=a(2.6)²+b(2.6)
7.9=6.76a+2.6b

(4.8,12.4)
12.4=a(4.8)²+b(4.8)
12.4=23.04a+4.8b

use those 2 equations
7.9=6.76a+2.6b
12.4=23.04a+4.8b

eliminate b
multiply first equation by -4.8 and 2nd by 2.6 and add them
-37.92=-32.448a-12.48b
32.24=59.904a-12.48b +
-5.68=27.456a+0b

-5.68=27.456a
divide both sides by 27.456
(-5.68/27.456)=a
find b

12.4=23.04a+4.8b
12.4=(-130.8672/27.456)+4.8b
12.4+(130.8672/27.456)=4.8b
(12.4+(130.8672/27.456))/4.8=b

da equation is
y= \frac{-5.68}{27.456} x^2+ \frac{12.4+\frac{130.8672}{27.456}}{4.8}x



c. the roots are found with your calculator
the roots are at x=0 and x=17.287323943662
so very close to the target but not exactly on it
if the target has a radius of 0.287323943662 or more then it will hit the target

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation 10 + 2.50d = 850

David starts with $10 and each day he earns $2.50. The d represents a variable and can be any number.

To find d you must solve the equation.

10 + 2.50d = 850

2.50d = 840 (subtract 10 from 850)

d = 336 (divide 840 by 2.50)

It will take David 336 days to save $850.

Tiffany pays 40$ for 160 minutes of talk time on her cell phone.How many minutes of talk time does she get per dollar?
jonny [76]
To find how many minutes of talk time is available per dolla, you have to divide 160 (number of minutes) by 40 (cost) 160/40 = 4 Therefore, it's 4 minutes per dollar
