Answer:
a = 2, b = -9, c = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacing x, y values of the points in the equation y = a*x^2 + b*x +c give the following:
(-1,14)
14 = a*(-1)^2 + b*(-1) + c
(2,-7)
-7 = a*2^2 + b*2 + c
(5, 8)
8 = a*5^2 + b*5 + c
Rearranging:
a - b + c = 14
4*a + 2*b + c = -7
25*a + 5*b + c = 8
This is a linear system of equations with 3 equations and 3 unknows. In matrix notation the system is A*x = b whith:
A =
1 -1 1
4 2 1
25 5 1
x =
a
b
c
b =
14
-7
8
Solving A*x = b gives x = Inv(A)*b, where Inv(A) is the inverse matrix of A. From calculation software (I used Excel) you get:
inv(A) =
0.055555556 -0.111111111 0.055555556
-0.388888889 0.444444444 -0.055555556
0.555555556 0.555555556 -0.111111111
inv(A)*b
2
-9
3
So, a = 2, b = -9, c = 3
First you have to make all the fractions have a common denominator to add them so since 3/16 is the largest denominator you have to convert the others to have the denominator of 16. 1/8 = 2/16. 1/4 = 4/16. so if you add the numerators that’s 3 + 2 + 4 = 9. so the answer would be 9/16, and this cannot be simplified so it is your final answer:)
Since harper has only %15 that is the most she can spend, therefore we would have 15> or = 4.75b+3.5c. the best way to solve this would be to divide 15 by 4.75, then round down to the nearest whole number. if you do this, you get 3 bags of fruit.
Answer:
The answer to your question is 3n+5
Hello there!
The statement that would NOT be true would be option A. All isosceles triangles are also equilateral triangles. The rest of the statements would be TRUE.
Hope this helps and have a great day! :)
