First set up a linear equation and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.
It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)
Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c
Build a set of 3 equations from the table:
C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6
Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6
-2.4 =4a-2b +6
1.4 = a-b +6
Rewrite the equations
a=b/2 -2.1
1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6
b = 5
a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4
replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6
The points go on the little lines. It’s hard to point out
Answer:
The factors are 
.
The factors are not 
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation is 
.
This equation can be written as follows:
Here,
Therefore,
So, the factors are .
The factors are not
2 3/4 = 2.75
1 1/2 = 1.5
3 3.4 = 3.75
2.75 + 1.5 + 3.75 = 8
