y = ax^2 + bx + 7 because when x = 0 y = 7
when x = -1 y = 14 so we have
14 = a - b + 7
so a - b = 7...............(1)
when x = 1 y = 4
so 4 = a + b + 7
a + b = -3.................(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we eliminate b so:-
2a = 4
a = 2
Substitute a = 2 in equation (1)
2 - b = 7
b = -5
so our equation is y = 2x^2 - 5x + 7
True because it had a strict pattern and measurable proportions. <span />
Answer:
x=-21
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7=2x+14
-7=x+14
-21=x
X + 1 < 5
x < 5 - 1
x < 4
u basically solve it like equations except for one important rule....with inequalities, when u multiply/divide by a negative number, the inequality sign changes directions. But we didn't have to deal with that rule in this particular problem
