Answer:
y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial correlation function of a graphing calculator can work with the table of function values to give you the equation. (See attached)
_____
If you want to solve this by hand, you can write the equations for the unknown coefficients in the polynomial function, then solve those. First of all, notice that you are given the y-intercept, (0, 6), so you know one of the coefficients already. That leaves a system of 3 equations in 3 unknowns that need to be solved.
___
<em>Writing the equations</em>
... ax³ +bx² +cx +6 = y . . . . the generic linear equation in a, b, c that you're writing
For x = -1:
... -a +b -c +6 = 8
For x = 1
... a + b + c + 6 = 6
For x = 2
... 8a +4b +2c +6 = 20
In augmented matrix terms, this set of linear equations looks like ...
___
<em>Solving the equations</em>
There are a number of ways to solve these. Again, a graphing calculator often has solution functions, such as reducing a matrix to row-echelon form, that will solve this in a keystroke or two.
If you add the first two equations, you get ...
... 2b = 2 ⇒ b = 1
Substituting that into the first equation allows you to simplify it to ...
... -a -c = 1
Dividing the third equation by 2 (and substituting for b) makes it ...
... 4a +c = 5
Adding these equations gives ...
... 3a = 6 ⇒ a = 2
Then ...
... c = -a -1 = -2 -1 = -3
And our polynomial function is ...
... y = 2x³ +x² -3x +6
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the denominator of the two fractions are already the same, we do not have to alter the fractions at all
Because the denominators are the same, all we have to worry about is the numerator, so take 67 and subtract 43 from it to get 24
As you know, 24/8 = 3, and that would be your final answer
