Quadratic function ( in standard form ):

y = a x² + b x + c

x = 0:

635 = 0 + 0 + c

c = 635

x = 1:

644 = a + b + 635

a + b = 9

x = 2:

719 = 4 a + 2 b + 635

4 a + 2 b = 84

and now we have a system:

a + b = 9   /  * ( - 2 )

4 a + 2 b = 84

-------------------------

- 2 a + 2 b = - 18

+

 4 a + 2 b  = 84

-------------------------

  2 a = 66

 a = 33;   b = - 24;

 Function is:

 f ( x ) = 33 x² - 24 x + 635

f ( 8 ) = 33 * 64 - 24 * 8 + 635 = 2,112 - 192 + 635 = 2,555

 Answer: The number of waterfowl on week 8 would be 2,555.

Wendy borrowed a 370-page book from the library. She has already read 20 pages. The book is due back to the library in 7 days. W
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

n ≥ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages = 370

Read pages = 20

Number of days remaining = 7

Reading rate per day = n

7n + 20 ≥ 370

7n ≥ 370 - 20

7n ≥ 350

n ≥ 350/7

n ≥ 50 pages per day for the remaining 7 days

What are the measurements of the two angles in the figure below?
IgorC [24]

Both angles need to equal 180 degrees .

Add them together:

2x +10 + 3x-5 = 180

5X +5 = 180

Subtract 5 from each side:

5x = 175

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 175 / 5

X = 35


Now replace X with 35 in each equation:

2x +10 = 2(35) +10 = 70 +10 = 80

3x-5 = 3(35) - 5 = 105 -5 = 100


The answer is A. 80 and 100
