The given function  is a quadratic equation. Any quadratic equation can be written in the form :

C(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c

The given points can be taken as (2,23) ,(4,55) and(10,247)

We form three equations with the given points

For point (2,23 ) the equation is

23   = 4a + 2b + c

For point (4,55) the equation is

55 = 16a + 4b + c

For point  (10,247) the equation is:

247 = 100a+10b+c.

Solving the three equations for a,b,c we have :

32 = 12a + 2b

  16 = 6a + b

and,

 192 = 84 a + 6b

 32 = 14a + b

Solving for a,b,c we have:

a=2  b=4   c=7

The quadratic equation is c(x)=2x^{2}+4x+7.

When x=8

c(x)=2(8)^{2}+4(8)+7= 167.]

Option C. $167 is the right answer.

When analyzing three linear functions, Michele noticed that they all intersected at the point (5, 3). What conclusion can Michel
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: option B. it has the highest y-intercept.

Explanation:

1) point -slope equation of the line

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

2) Replace (x₁, y₁) with the point (5,3):

y - 5 = m (x - 3)

3) Expand using distributive property and simplify:

y - 5 = mx - 3m ⇒ y = mx + 5 - 3m

4) Compare with the slope-intercept equation of the line: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

⇒ slope = m

⇒ b = 5 - 3m = y - intercept.

Therefore, for the same point (5,3), the greater m (the slope of the line) the less b (the y-intercept); and the smaller m (the slope) the greater the y - intercept.

Then, the conclusion is: the linear function with the smallest slope has the highest y-intercept (option B).

Damm [24]

Answer:

1 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

2-1=1

then you make 2/3 and 1/5 have the same denominator -

5*3=15

?/15                       ?/15

multiply 2 by 5 which is 10, so 10/15

then multiply 1 by 3 which is 3/15

subtract 3/15 from 10/15 which is 7/15
