Answer:

(3y - 2)(2y - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term

Product = 6 × 14 = 84 and sum = - 25

The required factors are - 4 and - 21

Use these factors to split the y- term

6y² - 4y - 21y + 14 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2y(3y - 2) - 7(3y - 2) ← factor out (3y - 2) from each term

= (3y - 2)(2y - 7) ← in factored form

Answer:

There are 25 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the number of students in the class, you can add the number of data points together. Because the name of each person will only be recorded once and only to one data value, that means by adding the total number of data points collected, you can find out the number of students in the sixth-grade class. There are three data points on 3, two data points on 4, five data points on 5, eight data points on 6, two data points on 7, one data point on 8, and four data points on 9, this means the total number of students will be 3 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 25 students, so this will be your answer.

Find the quadratic function y=f(x) whose graph has a vertex (−3,4) and passes through the point (−7,0). Write the function

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola since a quadratic is a parabola. The standard form for a parabola is y = ax² + bx + c

but before we do that, we will use the vertex form, since it will make our work easier at the beginning.

First and foremost, when we plot the vertex and the given point, the vertex is higher up than is the point; that means that this parabola opens upside down, and its vertex form will be

y=-|a|(x - h)² + k

The absolute value is out in front of the a, so we know that the value of a is positive, but the quadratic itself is negative (upside down) and we will find that math takes care of that negative that needs to be out front. So we need to solve for a by filling in the x, y, h, and k values from the point and the vertex: x = -7, y = 0, h = -3, k = 4

0 = a(-7 - (-3))² + 4 and

0 = a(-7 + 3)² + 4 and

0 = a(-4)² + 4 and

0 = a(16) + 4 and

0 = 16a + 4 and

-4 = 16a so

$a=-\frac{1}{4}$
