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

the circumference of the great circle of a sphere is 12 pi inches. Which of the following expressions can be used to approximate
andriy [413]
It would be A because with volume you would have your 12 to the 3rd power then multiply it by pie which is 3.14 then for sphere you would then multiply what ever you got after multiplying 12 to the 3rd power then by 3.14 to the 4/3
