First set up a linear equation and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.
It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)
Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c
Build a set of 3 equations from the table:
C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6
Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6
-2.4 =4a-2b +6
1.4 = a-b +6
Rewrite the equations
a=b/2 -2.1
1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6
b = 5
a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4
replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6
Answer:
width = 10 yds
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 2L + 2W
74 = 2(27) + 2W
74 = 54 + 2W
subtract 54 from both sides of the equation:
2W = 20
divide both sides by 2:
W = 10
60 because 2:4 is 1/2, and when you divide by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal (2/1 instead of 1/2) which would be 60 in this case.
=(3a-4a-3a)+(2b+6b-2b)+(-7c+9c-7c)
=-4a+6b-5c #
