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!

The sum of 2 numbers is 50. the second number is 5 times the first. what is the number.
sp2606 [1]

Let the first and smaller number be x. Since the second number is 5 times the first, the second number is 5x. We also know both of these numbers must add to 50; thus, we can create the following equation.

x+5x=50

Combine like terms

6x = 50

Divide both sides by 6

x = 50/6 = 25/3 \approx 8.333

This is the value of the first number. The number you're looking for isn't specified in the question description, so I'll just provide the value of the second number. The second number has to be 5 times the first.

Thus, we just multiply 5 to x.

5x = 5(25/3) = 125/3 \approx 41.667

That's the value of the second number.
