At a dinner party, two desserts are being served. Six of the guests choose cheesecake, and eight of the guests choose apple pie.
1 answer:
Answer:
When six guests choose cheesecake and eight choose apple pie, the ratio is 6:8. If we use the same prompt but change 6 to 3 and change 8 to 4, the ratio becomes 3:4 with the pie graph looking exactly the same.
6:8 comes out to a total of 14 people
and 3:4 comes out to a total of 7 people
The two ratios are equivalent due to the graphs looking exactly the same as well as that 14 is double of 7.

<u>Quadratic Function</u>
Standard Form of Quadratic Function
The standard representation of a quadratic function is:
where a,b, and c are constants.
When the zeros of f (x1 and x2) are given, it can be written as:
f(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)
Where a is a constant called the leading coefficient.
We are given the two roots of f: x1=-3 and x2=4, thus:
f(x)=a(x+3)(x-4)
We also know that f(5)=8, thus:
f(5)=a(5+3)(5-4)=8
Operating:
a(8)(1)=8
Solving:
a=1
The function is:
f(x)=1(x+3)(x-4)
Operating:
