What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by this table?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I used logic and took the easy way around this as opposed to the long, drawn-out algebraic way.  I noticed right off that at x = -3 and x = -1 the y values were the same.  In the middle of those two x-values is -2, which is the vertex of the parabola with coordinates (-2, 4).  That's the h and k in the formula I'm going to use.  Then I picked a point from the table to use as my x and y in the formula I'm going to use.  I chose (0, 3) because it's easy.  The formula for a quadratic is

y=a(x-h)^2+k

and I have everything I need to solve for a.  Filling in my h, k, x, and y:

3=a(0-(-2))^2+4  and

3=a(2)^2+4  and

-1 = 4a so

a=-\frac{1}{4}

In work/vertex form the equation for the quadratic is

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x+2)^2+4

In standard form it's:

y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-x+3

<span>CorrectThe direction of the electric field stays the same regardless of the sign of the charges that are free to move in theconductor.Mathematically, you can see that this must be true since the expression you derived for the electric field isindependent of .Physically, this is because the force due to the magnetic field changes sign as well and causes positive charges tomove in the direction (as opposed to pushing negative charges in the direction). Therefore the result isalways the same: positive charges on the side and negative charges on the side. Because the electric fieldgoes from positive to negative charges will always point in the direction (given the original directions of</span>
