If you have a cubic polynomial of the form y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d and lets say it passes through the points (2,28), (-1, -5),

(4, 220), and (-2, -20) what would the coefficients a, b, c, and d equal? So confused, I'd greatly appreciate help! Thank you!

Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

c = 0

d = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Form 4 equations and solve simultaneously

28 = a(2)³ + b(2)² + c(2) + d

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

-5 = -a + b - c + d (2)

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d (4)

(1) + (4)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d

8 = 8b + 2d

d = 4 - 4b

Equation (2)

c = -a + b + d + 5

c = -a + b + 4 - 4b+ 5

c = -a - 3b + 9

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

28 = 6a - 6b + 22

6a - 6b = 6

a - b = 1

a = b + 1

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

220 = 64(b + 1) + 16b + 4(-b - 1 - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

220 = 60b + 100

60b = 120

b = 2

a = 2 + 1

a = 3

c = -3 - 3(2) + 9

c = 0

d = 4 - 4(2)

d = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Solve using the first point</u>

<em>(2, 28)</em>

28 = a(2)^3 + b(2)^2 + c(2) + d

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d

<u>Step 2:  Solve using the second point</u>

<em>(-1, -5)</em>

-5 = a(-1)^3 + b(-1)^2 + c(-1) + d

-5 = -a + b - c + d

<u>Step 3:  Solve using the third point</u>

<em>(4, 220)</em>

220 = a(4)^3 + b(4)^2 + c(4) + d

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d

<u>Step 4:  Solve using the fourth point</u>

<em>(-2, -20)</em>

-20 = a(-2)^3 + b(-2)^2 + c(-2) + d

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d

<u>Step 5:  Combine the first and fourth equations</u>

<u />28 - 20 = 8a - 8a + 4b + 4b + 2c - 2c + d + d

8 = 8b + 2d

8 - 8b = 8b - 8b + 2d

(8 -8b)/2 = 2d/2

4 - 4b = d

<u>Step 6:  Solve for c in the second equation</u>

-5 + 5 = -a + b - c + d + 5

0 + c = -a + b - c + c + d + 5

c = -a + b + d + 5

<u>Step 7:  Substitute d with the stuff we got in step 5</u>

c = -a + b + (4 - 4b) + 5

c = -a + b + 4 - 4b + 5

c = -a - 3b + 9

<u>Step 8:  Substitute d and c into the first equation</u>

<u />28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)

28 = 8a + 4b - 2a - 6b + 18 + 4 - 4b

28 - 22 = 6a - 6b + 22 - 22

6 / 6 = (6a - 6b) / 6

1 + b = a - b + b

1 + b = a

<u>Step 9:  Substitute a, b, and c into the third equation</u>

220 = 64(1 + b) + 16b + 4(-(1 + b) - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)

220 = 64 + 64b + 16b + 4(-1 - b - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

220 - 100 = 60b + 100 - 100

120 / 60 = 60b / 60

2 = b

<u>Step 10:  Find a using b = 2</u>

a = b + 1

a = (2) + 1

a = 3

<u>Step 11:  Find c using a = 3 and b = 2</u>

c = -a - 3b + 9

c = -(3) - 3(2) + 9

c = -3 - 6 + 9

c = 0

<u>Step 12:  Find d using b = 2</u>

d = 4 - 4b

d = 4 - 4(2)

d = 4 - 8

d = -4

Answer:  a = 3, b = 2, c = 0,d = -4

KiRa [710]

Answer:

21.5 Miles or 21 ½ Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 7 as m to 3m + ½.

Then, I get 3(7) + ½.

That concludes to 21 + ½

Add the ".5" or "½" at the end

So, answer is you get is 21.5 of 21 ½

Find the distance between the points ( – 9, – 4) and ( – 4,8).
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Distance=13\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Distance between two points:</em></u> Distance between two pints (x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2) is given by

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Distance between (-9,-4)\ and\ (-4,8).

d=\sqrt{(-4-(-9))^2+(8-(-4))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-4+9)^2+(8+4)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(12)^2}=\sqrt{25+144}\\\\d=\sqrt{169}\\\\d=13
