From the graph, when x = 1, y = 57,000.
Replace x with 1 in the equations and see if any of the Y 's equal 57,000 :
y = -2610.82(1) + 47860.82 = 45,250
y = 219(1)^2 - 6,506.78(1) + 59,385 = 219 - 6506.78 + 59385 = 53,097.22
y = 54041.5(0.9)^1 = 48,637.35
y = 10,504.6 (1.1)^1 = 11,555.06
The second equation is the closest. so try another x value to see if it is close to the Y value:
Let's try x = 14:
y = 219(14)^2 - 6506.78(14) + 59,385 = 42924 - 91094.92 + 59385 = 11,214.08
This is close to Y = 12,00 shown on the graph
SO the closest equitation is y = 219x^2 - 6506.78x + 59385
-103
if he lost the same weight each week that means -412 (the weight he lost) ÷ 4 (number of weeks) = -103 (amount of weight lost in one week)
Answer:
x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5 − 10x − 3x² = 0
Write in standard form:
-3x² − 10x + 5 = 0
Solve with quadratic formula:
x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a
x = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(-3)(5)) ] / 2(-3)
x = [ 10 ± √(100 + 60) ] / -6
x = (10 ± 4√10) / -6
x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3
