A= P(1 + rt)

1 answer:

3 0

The student forgot to distribute the P into rt as well in the second line.

So, to solve for r correctly:
A=P(1+rt)
A=P+Prt
A-P=Prt
r=(A-P)/Pt

Write a formula for quadratic function if its graph has the vertex at point (0,6) and passes through the point (−1,−2).

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

y = - 8x² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (0, 6), thus

y = a(x - 0)² + 6, that is

y = ax² + 6

To find a substitute (- 1, - 2) into the equation

- 2 = a(- 1)² + 6, that is

- 2 = a + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 8 = a

y = - 8x² + 6
