Answer:
The table is a quadratic function
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached table
Required
Tell if it is a quadratic function
The difference in the x values are uniform (i.e. difference of 1), so the following method can be applied.
(1) Subtract adjacent y values.
(2) Subtract adjacent differences in (1) above
Notice the calculated differences in (2) are the same.
<em>Hence, the table is a quadratic function</em>
For #1 the answer would be ; " y = - x - 4 "
( you just have to plug in the given numbers to the slope intercept form )

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2−2x−5=0
Let us factorize using the split the middle term method.
On inspection we observe that middle term can be split in two parts whose product is equal to the product of first and third term.
Two terms are −5xand3x
The equation becomes
3x2+3x−5x−5=0, pairing the two and taking out common factors
⇒(3x2+3x)−(5x+5)=0,
don't forget to change the sign of −5 once placed inside the parenthesis.
⇒3x(x+1)−5(x+1)=0
⇒(x+1)(3x−5)=0
Either (x+1)=0 or (3x−5)=0
We obtain x=−1,53
or x=−1,123
