Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the graph shows tha the functión at x = 0 is below the y-axis, the constant term of the function has to be negative. This leaves us two possibilities:
y = 8x^2 + 2x - 5 and y = 2x^2 + 8x - 5
To try to discard one of them, let us use the vertex, which is at x = -2.
With y = 8x^2 + 2x - 5, you get y = 8(-2)^2 + 2(-2) - 5 = 32 - 4 - 5 = 23 , which is not the y-coordinate of the vertex of the curve of the graph.
Test the other equation, y = 2x^2 + 8x - 5 = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) - 5 = 8 - 16 - 5 = -13, which is exactly the y-coordinate of the function graphed.
Then, the answer is 2x^2 + 8x -5
To use the elimination method, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient, then you can eliminate them.
Treat this like a slope formula. Y2-y1 divided by x2-x1.
Your y2 value is the second population
Y1= value of first population.
X2= second year they give
X1= first year they give.
4700-3650

525 is the increase a year
It is 255 cm^2
This is a very basic area problem. You should try refreshing on some of your multiplication and addition skills. Try reading patterns, maybe. Also learning geometric proofs is VITAL.
