Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month
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
Answer:
3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the dividend numerator by the divisor denominator to make a new numerator.
Furthermore, you multiply the dividend denominator by the divisor numerator to make a new denominator:
To make the answer to 3/4 divided by 1/5 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:
15/4 = 3.75
The answer is rounded to the nearest four decimal points if necessary.
15/4 is an improper fraction and should be written as 3 3/4.
