Answer:

  a) x = -1, x = 4

  b) y = x^2 -3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.

The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.

__

b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.

  y = a(x +1)(x -4)

For x=0, this is ...

  y = a(1)(-4) = -4a

The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.

The factored equation is ...

  y = (x +1)(x -4)

Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:

  y = x^2 -3x -4

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...

  x^2 -3x -4 = 0

This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.

Which function has x-intercepts of 3 and 8 and contains the point (–1, –2)?
mojhsa [17]
This is how you do it.

y = a(x - 3)(x - 8) 
<span>-2 = a(-1 - 3)(-1 - 8) </span>
<span>-2 = 36a </span>
<span>- 1 / 18 = a </span>
<span>y = ( - 1 / 18)(x^2 - 11x + 24) </span>
<span>y = (- 1 / 18)x^2 + (11 / 18)x - (3 / 2)
</span>

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team
almond37 [142]

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20
