Answer:

y = x² + 4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = Ax² + Bx + C

-4 = A(-3)² + B(-3) + C = 9A - 3B + C

-5 = A(-2)² + B(-2) + C = 4A -2B + C

subtract these              

1 = 5A - B

B = 5A - 1

4 = A(1)² + B(1) + C = A + B + C

C = 4 - A - B

C = 4 - A - 5A + 1

C = 5 - 6A

-4 = 9A - 3B + C

-4 = 9A - 3(5A - 1) + 5 - 6A

-4 = 9A - 15A + 3 + 5 - 6A

-12 = -12A

A = 1

B = 5(1) - 1 = 4

C = 5 - 6(1) = -1

y = x² + 4x - 1

How can I can the Graphing the function
laiz [17]

in short, you simply pick a few random "x" values, to get the "y", and that's your point, for example say x = 2, then y = -(2)² - 4 => y = -8, that gives us the point of (2, -8), and so on.


we can start off by finding the vertex, the U-turn of the graph, and then just pick a point to its left side and a point to its right side, and we can get the vertex of that by


\bf y=-4x^2-4\implies y=-4x^2+0x-4 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-4}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+0}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-4} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right) \\\\\\ \left(-\cfrac{0}{2(-4)}~,~-4-\cfrac{0}{4(-4)} \right)\implies (0~,~-4-0)\implies (0,-4)


and since it's a vertical parabola, the axis of symmetry comes from the x-coordinate of the vertex, namely x = 0, check the picture below.

X^2/81 + y^2/64 = 1 The major intercepts are at (±9, 0) (±8, 0) (0, ±9)
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is unclear. What are "major intercepts"?

x²/81 + y²/64 = 1

The major axis is horizontal.

0²/81 + y²/64 = 1

y-intercepts = ±8

x²/81 + 0/64 = 1

x-intercepts = ±9

Try to solve for x, i cant figure it out
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the upper isosceles triangle,

The answer is: x=±√5y [Note: If and only if at the lower triangle is NOT isosceles]

Exterior angle to the isosceles triangle = 2(2x^2 – 2x) [because the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to               the sum of two opposite interior angles]

Therefore, the exterior angle = 4x^2 – 4x

Also,

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior base angles of the lower triangle

Thus, 4x^2 – 4x=(3x^2+4x) + (5y – 8x)

By collecting like terms,

4x^2 – 3x^2 – 4x – 4x + 8x – 5y = 0

x^2 – 5y = 0

x^2 = 5y

By taking the square root of both sides

x=±√5y
