Answer:

1. The function is -2x^2 + x + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The point at (1,2) gives the equation:

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

a + b + c = 2

The point at (-2,-7) gives the equation:

a * (-2^2) + (-2b) + c = 7

4a - 2b + c = -7

The point at (2,-3) gives the equation:

a * (2^2) + 2b + c = -3

4a + 2b + c = -3

Hence, all three equations are:

a + b + c = 2  

4a - 2b + c = -7  

4a + 2b + c = -3

Now, subtract the second equation from the third equation to get:

(4a + 2b + c) - (4a - 2b + c) = -3 - (-7)

4a - 4a + 2b + 2b + c - c = -3 + 7

4b = 4

b = 1

Hence, let's now update our previous equations:

a + 1 + c = 2         =>         a + c = 1

4a - 2(1) + c = -7         =>         4a + c = -5

4a + 2(1) + c = -3         =>         4a + c = -5

This can be further whittled down into two equations:

a + c = 1

4a + c = -5

Hence, we can now subtract the first equation from the second to get:

(4a + c) - (a + c) = -5 - 1

4a - a + c - c = -6

3a = -6

a = -2

Therefore, c = 3 (a + c = 1, -2 + c = 1, c = 1 + 2, c = 3).

And the function is -2x^2 + x + 3.

Hope this helped!

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with the given pair of endpoints. J(6, 6); K(2, –4)
Levart [38]

Answer:

(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

let J(6,6) be x1, y1

let K(2,-4) be x2, y2

midpoint = (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2

=(6+2)/2 ,(6-4)/2

= 8/2 ,2/2

=4, 1

Determine the x-intercept points of the function h(x) = (x - 5)(x-6)(x + 4).
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are the points where the x value is zero. In this case, to find the "zeros" of the function, set each factor to zero. x-5 -> x=5. x-6 -> x=6. x+4 -> x=-4.
