  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Quadratic Formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

x² - 7x - 8

↓

<em>a</em> = 1, <em>b </em>= -7, <em>c</em> = -8

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Quadratic Formula]:                                                  \displaystyle x=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2-4(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}
  2. [√Radical] Evaluate exponents:                                                                       \displaystyle x=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49-4(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}
  3. [√Radical] Multiply:                                                                                           \displaystyle x=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 + 32}}{2(1)}
  4. [√Radical] Add:                                                                                                 \displaystyle x=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{81}}{2(1)}
  5. [√Radical] Evaluate:                                                                                         \displaystyle x=\frac{7 \pm 9}{2(1)}
  6. Multiply:                                                                                                             \displaystyle x=\frac{7 \pm 9}{2}
  7. Add/Subtract:                                                                                                    \displaystyle x=\frac{-2}{2}, \ \frac{16}{2}
  8. Divide:                                                                                                               \displaystyle x=-1, \ 8

Inventory was taken on Day 1, Day 2, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7. Norris wants to know roughly what the inventory was on Day 3.
Dvinal [7]

He should evaluate the function f(x)=−1/3 x+4 for x=3  , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What in Interpolation ?</h3>

Interpolation is when the line of best fit is used to determine the value of a point that is within the range of plotted points.

It is given to find the value at Day 3 which lies in the range of the points used for plotting

The line for best fit is

f(x) = (-1/3)x +4

At x = 3

f(3) = (-1/3) * 3 +4

f(3) = -1+4 = 3

Therefore He should evaluate the function f(x)=−1/3 x+4 for x=3

Option D is the correct answer.

Help me hurry can someone these equations
Volgvan

f(x) + n - move the graph n units up

f(x) - n - move the graph n units down

n · f(x) - stretch by n in the y-direction

1/n · f(x) - compress by n in the y-direction

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

First:

A)\ y=x^2\\\\B)\ y=x^2-4\\\\C)\ y=x^2-2\\\\D)\ y=x^2+2\\\\E)\ y=x^2+4

Second:

A)\ y=x^2\\\\K)\ y=4x^2\\\\L)\ y=2x^2\\\\M)\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2\\\\N)\ y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2
