Answer:
f(x) = -4/3x² -2/3x +10
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet can determine the equation for you.
___
Or, you can determine it yourself.
The equation can be written in the form ...
f(x) = a(x +3)(x -5/2) . . . . . . . using the given x-intercepts
for some value of "a"
For x = 0, this must match the y-intercept.
f(0) = a(0 +3)(0 -5/2) = 10
-15/2·a = 10
a = -20/15 = -4/3
So, the function can be written as ...
f(x) = (-4/3)(x +3)(x -5/2)
or
f(x) = -4/3x² -2/3x +10
The value of X in this question is 46
Answer:
Town B will eventually overtake Town A
in 1990 Town B will have a larger population
Step-by-step explanation:
To work out how big town A will be in 1990 you need to do 200 + (200x40) because you add 40 years worth of increased population onto the starting population
To work out how big town B will be in 1990 you need to use the equation 200 X 1.1^40 because to work out plus 10 percent you need to do 1.1 and do it to the power of 40 for how many years
in 1990 town a will have a population of 8200 and town B will have a population of 9051.85
The picture shows that the line is curved which means that it is non-linear, if it was linear the line would be straight.
40/15=64/q
The answer is q=24
