Answer:

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.

Thus, we have;

(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0

Now, formula for quadratic equation is;

y = ax² + bx + c

Where c is the y intercept.

At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;

At (-1,0), thus;

0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1

a + b = -1 - - - (1)

At (4,0), thus;

0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1

16a + 4b = -1

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)

From eq 1, b = -1 - a

Thus;

4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4

4a - 1 - a = -1/4

3a - 1 = -1/4

3a = 1 - 1/4

3a = 3/4

a = 1/4

b = -1 - 1/4

b = -5/4

Thus;

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

2x^2-3x-9 please help
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Im assuming you mean 2x^2-3x-9=0 ?
If so, you have to factorise the equation
(2x-3) (x+3) = 0

2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 1.5

x + 3 = 0
x = -3

x is either 1.5 or -3

What is 3/4 plus 4 1/3
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to change the denominator into a the least common denominator, 4 and 3 both have 12 in common. 12 is your new denominator but what you to the bottom you must do to the top. So when you multiply 3/4 by 3/3 you will get 9/12.

Then you want to make 4 1/3 into a improper fraction, which would be 13/3 you want to multiply this by 4 and you will get 52/12. You will then add 52/12 to 9/12 and get 61/12 or 5 1/12.

If you need any more help please let me know.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Given:

I usually walk from home to work. This morning, I walked for 10 minutes until I was halfway to work.

I then realized that I would be late if I kept walking.

I ran the rest of the way. I run twice as fast as I walk.

Find:

The number of minutes in total did it take me to get from home to work

Step-by-step explanation:

Had I kept walking, the second half of my trip would have taken 10 more minutes.

By doubling my speed for the second half of my trip,

I halved the amount of time it took me to finish.

So, the second half of my trip took 5 minutes, for a total trip time of  10+5 = 15 minutes.

The number of minutes in total did it take me to get from home to work is 15 minutes.
