Answer:
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1 or -0.25u² -u
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.
The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.
Our equation will be of the form ...
m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)
For this graph, the equation is ...
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1
or, simplifying, we get ...
m(u) = -0.25u² -u
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).

Answer:
Choice A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = price of a helmet, y = price of a bat, z = price of a ball.
Company A can provide 9 helmets, 6 bats, and 12 balls for $525.
9x + 6y + 12z = 525
Company B can provide 10 helmets, 8 bats, and 10 balls for $600.
10x + 8y + 10z = 600
Company C can provide 8 helmets, 5 bats, and 15 balls for $500.
8x + 5y + 15z = 500
Answer: Choice A.
