Answer:

  y = 1/2x^2 +x -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the point where the graph reaches is extreme: (-1, -8). The y-intercept is (0, -7.5). The x-intercepts are (-5, 0) and (3, 0).

When the quadratic is written in the form ...

  y = x^2 +bx +c

the value of b is the opposite of the sum of the x-intercepts. The value of c is their product. These facts would give ...

  y = x^2 -(-5 +3)x +(-5)(3) = x^2 +2x -15

The constant in this equation is -15, which is the value y has when x=0. Our actual y-intercept is half that, so the graph we see is this equation scaled by a factor of 1/2:

  y = 1/2x^2 +x -15/2

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can start with the vertex form.

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . vertical scale factor 'a' and vertex (h, k)

On the graph, the vertical scale factor is the vertical difference between the low point (vertex) and the point that is 1 unit right or left. Here, that is ...

  -7.5 - (-8) = 0.5 = a

We've already said the vertex is (h, k) = (-1, -8), so the vertex form equation is ...

  y = 0.5(x +1)^2 -8

We know the square of a binomial is (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2, so we have ...

  y = 0.5(x^2 +2x +1) -8

  y = 0.5x^2 +x +0.5 -8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = 0.5x^2 +x -7.5

An alligator population in a naturer preserve in the Everglades increased by 60 alligators or five years what is the mean yearly
adelina 88 [10]
I'm not sure what you meant after alligators, if it was or or for, but I think it was for so I'm going with that. If 60 increase every 5 years, it would be 60 over 5 (in fractions). So I would do 60 divided by 5, which would be 12. So that means 12 increase every year. I'm not sure what mean meant either, if you're talking about the mathematical mean, but you can't solve the mean in this problem. The Answer: The yearly change in the alligator population would be 12.
