Answer:
a) It's a quadratic
b) f(x) = A(x-3)(x-7)
c) she is right
Step-by-step explanation:
(0-12)/(3-1) = -6
(-4-0)/(5-3) = -2
Since the slope is not constant, it can't be a linear.
Therefore a quadratic
Since the zeroes are 3 and 7,
Factors are (x - 3) and (x - 7)
f(x) = A(x - 3)(x - 7)
Use any one point besides the x-intercepts to find A
12 = A(1-3)(1-7)
12 = 12A
A = 1
f(x) = (x - 7)(x - 3)
f(x) = x² - 7x - 3x + 21
f(x) = x² - 10x + 21
She is right
I'm sorry I'm too lazy to read all of that. However, I did get the main point. The river was going at 3 mph. Since he wanted to travel 10 miles upstream and downstream, you would have to subtract 20 by 3. This would mean he was going at a speed of 17 mph.
Answer:
B - 181/500
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert percentages to fractions you divide by 100. That would make this 36.2/100. But we dont like fractions with decimal points in so you would multiply the whole thing by 5 to get rid of the .2 this makes the answer 181/500
Answer:
2x^2 +11
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x^2 +2
g(x) = x^2 -9
f(x) - g(x) = 3x^2 +2 - (x^2 -9)
Distribute the minus sign
= 3x^2 +2 -x^2 +9
Combine like terms
= 2x^2 +11
