Answer:
Step 4
part a: no answer yet still having trouble showing my work
part b:
-0.125(x-24)^2+50
-0.125(x-24)(x-24)+50
-0.125(x^2-24x-24x+576)+50
-0.125(x^2-48x+576)+50
-0.125x^2+6x-75+50
-0.125x^2+6x-22
a=-0.125
b=6
c=-22
part c: yes he went through
part d:
plug in roots (4,0) and (44,0)
if x is 4 and y is 0
0=-0.125(4)^2+6(4)-22
0=-2+24-22
0=-2+2
0=0
if x=44 and y=0
0=-0.125(44)^2+6(44)-22
0=-242+264-22
0=-242+242
0=0
Answer:
Two questions:
Question 1:
given
.
Answer 1: 
Question 2:
given
.
Answer 2: 
Step-by-step explanation:
So
is used in most classes to represent the inverse function of
.
The inverse when graphed is a reflection through the y=x line. The ordered pairs
on
implies
are on
.
This means we really just need to swap x and y.
Since we want to write as a function of x we will need to solve for y again.
Question 1:

Swap x and y:

We want to solve for y.
Add 3 on both sides:

Make the left hand side a fraction so we can cross-multiply:

Cross multiply:

Simplify right hand side:

Divide both sides by (x+3):

So
.
Question 2:

Swap x and y:

Make left hand side a fraction so we can cross multiply:

Cross multiply:

We have to distribute here:

Add 3x on both sides:

Divide boht sides by x:

You could probably stop here but you could also simplify a little.
Separate the fraction into two terms since you have 2 terms on top bottom being dividing by x:

Simplify second fraction x/x=1:

So
.

which gives us a quotient of about 0.39 gallons of milk for one day.<span />
