Answer:
The length of each smaller piece, l=L/n inches
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be expressed as;
Total length=Length per piece×number of pieces
where;
The total length=L
length per piece=l
number of pieces=n
Substituting in the equation;
L=l×n
To get the length of each smaller piece;
l=L/n inches
solving;
l=30.75/3=10.25 inches
 
        
             
        
        
        
so we have the points of (0,-7),(7,-14),(-3,-19), let's plug those in the y = ax² + bx + c form, since we have three points, we'll plug each one once, thus a system of three variables, and then we'll solve it by substitution.

well, from the 1st  equation, we know what "c" is already, so let's just plug that in the 2nd equation and solve for "b".

well, now let's plug that "b" into our 3rd equation and solve for "a".
