To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.
1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.
1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.
You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.
It causes very low gravity but it still has a bit of gravity. Hope it helped! ;-) <3
Answer:
Option (1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x -2 -1 0 1 2
y 10 2.5 0 2.5 3.0
Ist difference,




= -2.5


= 2.5


= 7.5
2nd difference,


= 5


= 5


= 5
Since 2nd difference is common, given table represents a quadratic equation.
Let the equation is,
y = ax²+ bx + c
For a point (0, 0) passing through the quadratic equation,
0 = c
Therefore, quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx
Since ordered pair (-1, 2.5) passes through the graph of the function,
2.5 = a(-1)² + b(-1)
a - b = 2.5 ------(1)
For another point (1, 2.5)
2.5 = a(1)² + b(1)
a + b = 2.5 ------(2)
By adding equations (1) and (2),
2a = 5
a = 2.5
and from equation (2)→ y = 0
Therefore, equation of the quadratic function given in the table is y = 2.5x²
Option (1) is the answer.
