Answer:
y = -2x^2 - 4x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see that the graph passes through (-2, -1), (-1, 1) and (0, -1).
Let's solve
ax^2 + bx + c = y
a(-2)^2 + b(-2) + c = -1
4a - 2b + c = -1
a(-1)^2 + b(-1) + c = 1
a - b + c = 1
a0^2 + b0 + c = -1
c = -1
we got c = -1 so we input it into the other 2
4a - 2b - 1 = -1
4a - 2b = 0
2a - b = 0
2a = b
a - b - 1 = 1
a - b = 2
a = b + 2
Let's input b = 2a
a = 2a + 2
-a = 2
a = -2
b = 2a = 2*(-2) = -4
c = -1
y = -2x^2 - 4x - 1
7/8 duh it there u just have to read it nicely
Answer:
Week 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Week 1: 3.5 miles => 22.5 miles left
22.5/1.5 increments = 15 weeks
15 weeks + week 1 = 16th week
-2 < -3 (I think so anyway)
The answer is 0 because any number elevated to 0 is 0
