Maya counts 55 passengers on the bus. There were only 50 passengers on the bus. What is Maya's percent error?

How would I solve for the parabolic equation with these two given points. Please answer ASAP!!

monitta

So

y=ax^2+bx+c
(x,y)
sub the points and solve

(4.28,6.48)
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)+c

(12.61,15.04)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)+c
well, for 3 variables, we need equations and therefor 3 points

maybe we are supposed to assume it starts at (0,0)
so then
0=a(0)^2+b(0)+c
0=c
so then
6.48=a(4.28)^2+b(4.28)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)

solve for a by subsitution
first equation, minut a(4.28)^2 from both sides
6.48-a(4.28)^2=b(4.28)
divide both sides by 4.28
(6.48/4.28)-4.28a=b
sub that for b in other equation

15.04=a(12.61)^2+b(12.61)
15.04=a(12.61)^2+((6.48/4.28)-4.28a)(12.61)
expand
15.04 =a(12.61)^2+(81.7128/4.28)-53.9708a
minus (81.7128/4.28) both sides
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a(12.61)^2-53.9708a
15.04-(81.7128/4.28)=a((12.61)^2-53.9708)
(15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708))=a
that's the exact value of a
to find b, subsitute to get
(6.48/4.28)-4.28((15.04-(81.7128/4.28))/(((12.61)^2-53.9708)))=b

if we aprox
a≈-0.038573167896199
b≈1.6791118501845
so then the equation is
y=-0.038573167896199x²+1.6791118501845x

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than a certain number of inches

Georgia [21]

So the “certain number” will be S.
Since 2width + 2length, the first part would be 2 times 2 which is 4
The length is S - 3
We then have to multiply this by 2
So it is 2(S-3) which is 2S-6
So the answer is 4+2S-6 which is 2S-2

A circle is centered at the point (7,1) and passes through the point (8,7). what is the radius

Scorpion4ik [409]

Easy

the radius is the distance from the center to a point on the circle

we are given
center=(7,1)
a point=(8,7)
find the distance
distance formula
D= $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$

so the distance between point and center is radius
D= $\sqrt{(8-7)^2+(7-1)^2}$
D= $\sqrt{(1)^2+(6)^2}$
D= $\sqrt{1+36}$
D=√37 units

radius is √37 units
