The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
$3.19
That will be the answer sir/ma’am
It's should be 5 cause I don't know
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x-4)+1=7
First Distribute the -2.
-2x+8+1=7
Subtract the 8 and 1 from the whole equation.
-2x=-2
Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
x=1
I hope this helps!
Answer:
- g = -1110p +4300.9
- 804 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Price is the independent variable, so the data we are given can be written as ...
(price, gallons) = (2.99, 982) and (2.79, 1204)
Using the 2-point form of the equation for a line, we have ...
g = (g2 -g1)/(p2 -p1)(p -p1) +g1
g = (1204 -982)/(2.79 -2.99)(p -2.99) +982
g = -1110(p -2.99) +982 = -1110p +4300.9
g = -1110p +4300.9
__
b) When p = 3.15, the predicted sales volume is ...
g = -1110(3.15) +4300.9 = 804.4
Weekly sales are predicted to be 804 gallons at a price of $3.15.
