By "slope" I assume you mean slope of the tangent line to the parabola.
For any given value of <em>x</em>, the slope of the tangent to the parabola is equal to the derivative of <em>y</em> :
The slope at <em>x</em> = 1 is 5:
The slope at <em>x</em> = -1 is -11:
We can already solve for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> :
Finally, the parabola passes through the point (2, 18); that is, the quadratic takes on a value of 18 when <em>x</em> = 2:
So the parabola has equation
Answer:
x=-1/85; y=-283/85; z=2/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Using an algebraic method like elimination or substitution would take a lot of steps which could lead to mistake the calculations. In this case, I decided to use the Gaussian elimination. We can express the system in matrix form as follows:
To begin the calculations, we write the system in augmented matrix form and use the Gaussian elimination:
By applying the Gaussian elimination, the final matrix is the following:
In order to verify the results, it´s enough to substitute the calculated values in the original equations to see if the equalities are correct. Here you can see the verification for all of the equations:
