1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 95 + 96 + 97 + 98 + 99. = 500
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
we have the points
(-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2)
Plot the points
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
The graph of a quadratic function must be a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is a minimum
The quadratic function in general form is equal to

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each given ordered pair in the general equation and solve for a,b and c
(0,2)
For x=0, y=2
substitute

(-1,0)
For x=-1, y=0
substitute

---->
----> equation A
(-2,0)
For x=-2, y=0
substitute

----> equation B
we have the system
----> equation A
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve for b

Find the value of a
therefore
The quadratic function in general form is equal to

see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem
It 42 inc hope that helps:)
20x+5y=120
10x+7.5y=80 multiply this one by 2
___________
20x+5y=120
20x+15y=160 subtract
___________
-10y=-40 divide both sides by -10
____________
y=4
20x+5(4)=120 plug 4 in for y in the first equation
20x+20=120 multiply
20x=100 subtract
x=5 divide to find x
