let's calculate it step by step.

I'll assume that the function we look for is quadratic, because we only got 3 points

I plotted the 3 points for checking the equation later, and some intuited insight. see screenshot 1

let's write the general form of quadratic equations:

f(x) = a*x² + b*x + c

our goal is to correctly determine a, b and c

since we know from the 2nd point that

f(0) = a*0² + b*0 + c = 4

we can say

<em><u>c = 4</u></em>

this one comes almost for free

now to the next point, the 3rd one

f(1) = a*1² + b*1 + 4 = -3

we can write it as

a + b + 4 = -3

we can rearrange that to

<em><u>a = -b -7</u></em>

lastly, to the first point

f(-2) = a*(-2)² + b*(-2) + 4 = 5

simplified to

4a -2b + 4 = 5

since sort of defined a, let's plug it into our newest equation

4*(-b-7) -2b +4 = 5

we just swapped a for what its equal to.

now we just got numbers and b's

simplify it to

-4b -28 -2b +4 = 5

-6b -24 = 5

-6b = 29

<em><u>b = -29/6</u></em>

now we use the exact value of b to plug it into the rather simple equation from earlier. into this one

a = -b -7

a = -(-29/6) -7

a = 29/6 -42/6

<em><u>a= -13/6</u></em>

now that we got a, b and c we can write the whole equation

<em><u>f(x) = -13/6*x² -29/6*x +4</u></em>

see the graphic check in screenshot 2

second part of the problem:

if we want to move the whole graph 4 units down, we effectivly just cancel the +4 part

g(x) = f(x) -4 = f(x) = -13/6*x² -29/6*x +4 -4

<em><u>g(x) = -13/6*x² -29/6*x</u></em>

see screenshot 3 for the graph

Jason is making a fruit salad. He mixes in 3 1/4 cups of orange melon and 2 2/3 cups of green melon. How many cups of melon does
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

5 11/12 cups of melon

Step-by-step explanation:

The cups of melon he puts in the fruit salad is:

Number of cups of orange melon + Number of cups of green melon

= 3 1/4 cups + 2 2/3 cups

3 + 2 + (1/4 + 2/3)

The Least common denominator is 12

5 + (3 × 1 +4 × 2/12)

5 + (3 +8/12)

5 11/12 cups

Therefore, Jason put in 5 11/12 cups of melon in the fruit salad.

Find x<br><br><br>A) 12<br><br>B) 13 <br><br>C) 11<br><br>D) 10
Soloha48 [4]

We know that the sum of arc ND and arc ML divided by 2 is equivalent to 6x + 23.

Thus, we can form an equation:

6x + 23 = (11x + 8 + 3x + 14)/2

Simplify:

6x + 23 = (14x + 22)/2

Simply again:

6x + 23 = 7x + 11

Subtract 6x from both sides:

23 = x + 11

Subtract 11 from both sides

x = 12

Option A, or x = 12
