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

Mathematics

MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
8 0

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

kramer

Using it's concept, it is found that the percentage of the students that do NOT like to travel out of state that like camping is:

B. 34%.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%

In this problem, there are 112 students that do not like traveling out of the state, and of those, 38 like camping, hence the percentage is:

P = \frac{38}{112} \times 100\% = 34\%

Hence option B is correct.
