First off, we know that the y-interecept is 2, so there is going to be a plus two in the final equation. Now with the two answers input the number 8 to see which will output 6.
6 = 1/12(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/12 + 2
6 = 16/3 + 6/3
6 does not equal 22/3
6 = 1/16(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/16 + 2
6 = 4 + 2
6 = 6
This means that y = 1/16 x^2 + 2 is the correct answer. I hope that helps!
Remember PEMDAS is the order of operations. parenthesis,exponents,multiply,divide,add,subtract. so -8x-4x is -12x. now simplified the problem is 3(9-12x) + 8(3x+4)=11 . now I would distribute the numbers before the parentheses and it becomes 27-36x + 24x+32 =11 . now combine like terms. 59-12x =11 . subtract 59 on both sides. -12x=-48. divide -12 on both sides. x=4. :-)
If x=6 it is
9. 5
10. 18
11. 23
12. 5.5
13.68
if x=3 it is
2
15
8
11
41
