Answer:
let x=rate of the rowing team in still water
x+4=rate of the rowing team with current
x-4=rate of the rowing team against current
travel time=distance/rate
..
90%2F%28x%2B4%29=10%2F%28x-4%29
90x-360=10x+40
80x=400

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

We substitute $(-4,9)$ into the equation to obtain;

$9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c$

$\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)$

We substitute $(0,-7)$ to obtain;

$-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)$

We finally substitute $(1,-1)$ to obtain;

$-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

$9=16a-4b-7$

$16a-4b=16$

$\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7$

$\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)$

We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

$4a+a=6+4$

$\Rightarrow 5a=10$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

We put $a=2$ into equation (5) to get;

$2+b=6$

$\Rightarrow b=6-2$

$\Rightarrow b=4$

The reqiured quadratic function is

$y=2x^2+4x-7$

When an exponent is raised to another exponent, you can multiply the powers to simplify them.

3/8*3/4

<em>*Multiply numerators*</em>

3*3=9

<em>*Multiply denominators*</em>

8*4=32

x^9/32

Hope this helps!!
