Answer:

f(x)=4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Model</u>

The quadratic function can be expressed in the form:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

Where a,b, and c are constants to be determined using the points through which the function passes.

We have the points (-2,16) (0,0) (1,4). To find the values of a,b,c we just substitute the values of x and y and solve the system of equations.

Point (0,0):

f(0)=a*0^2+b*0+c=0

It follows that

c=0

Point (-2,16):

f(0)=a*(-2)^2+b*(-2)+c=16

Operating:

a*(4)+b*(-2)+c=16

Since c=0:

4a-2b=16

Divide by 2:

2a-b=8\qquad\qquad [1]

Point (1,4):

f(1)=a*(1)^2+b*(1)+c=4

a*(1)+b*(1)+c=4

Since c=0:

a+b=4\qquad\qquad [2]

Adding [1] + [2]:

2a+a=12

3a=12

a=12/3=4

a=4

From [2]

b=4-a

b=4-4=0

b=0

The model is:

\boxed{f(x)=4x^2}

Part A
anygoal [31]

Part A is incorrect because for negative numbers, the greater the magnitude the smaller the number. -2 is smaller than -1, for example, and -20 is smaller than -15.

An elevation of -15ft means 15 ft below sea level, an elevation of -20ft means 20 ft below sea level, and an elevation of (+) 7ft means 7 ft above sea level.

If John started the trail at sea level (0ft elevation), then the greatest change in elevation would be between that and the second rest stop. Take the absolute value of all the numbers and see which one is the largest.

Ken paid $12 for tow magazines. The cost of each magazine was a multiple of $3. What are the possible prices of the magazines?
Finger [1]
THE MULTIPLE OF 3 ARE: 3 , 6 , 9 ,12
The 1st magazine costs either 3 or 6 or 9 , 12
The 2nd magazine costs <span>3 or 6 or 9 , 12
The value 12 is to be discarded , then are the sum of tall possibilities to get 12:

</span>mag 1st         mag 2nd          total
------------       ------------         --------
3                       9                      12
6                       6                      12  
9                       3                      12

Determine which of the following are functions. Select all that apply.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

I am led to believe the answers are 4 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think its answer 2 because thou are radios and their isn't any fractions in it

I solved answer 4 it came as a fraction

Okay i looked at 1 and i did all of them they all came out as a decimal so i think that's another one

answer 3 you can't divide by 0 so i don't think so

The following set of ordered pairs represents a power inverse variation. Find the value of r given that k = 5.
pochemuha

Answer:

r=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k x^r  is the formula for a direct variation

y = k x^ -r is the formula for a indirect variation

20= 5 (1/2)^ -r

Divide each side by 5

4 = (1/2) ^ -r

Rewriting

2^2 = 2^ -1 ^ -r

2^2 = 2 ^ r

The bases are the same so

2 =r
