Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

(0.75)/(0.25)=(1)/(x)

0.75*1.333333=1, so multiply 0.25 by 1.333333 to find the value of x!

0.25*1.333333=0.33333, or one-third of an hour, or 20 minutes.

Method 2:

(0.75)/(0.25)=(1)/(x)

Cross-multiply

0.75x=0.25

(0.25)/(0.75)=x

x=0.33333 hours

A quadratic function is a function of the form y=ax^2+bx+c where a, b, and c are constants. Given any 3 points in the plane, the

pochemuha

Answer:

The quadratic function whose graph contains these points is $y=-x^{2}-2x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a quadratic function is a function of the form $y=ax^{2}+bx+c$ . The first step is use the 3 points given to write 3 equations to find the values of the constants a,b, and c.

Substitute the points (0,-2), (-5,-17), and (3,-17) into the general form of a quadratic function.

$-2=a*0^{2}+b*0+c\\c=-2$

$-17=a*-5^{2}+b*-5+c\\c=-25a+5b-17$

$-17=a*3^{2}+b*3+c\\ c=-9a-3b-17$

We can solve these system of equations by substitution

Substitute $c=-9a-3b-17$

$-9a-3b-17=25a+5b-17\\-9a-3b-17=-2$

Isolate a for the first equation

$-9a-3b-17=-25a+5b-17\\a=\frac{b}{2}$

Substitute $a=\frac{b}{2}$ into the second equation

$-9\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)-3b-17=-2$

Find the value of b

$-9\left(-\frac{4b}{17}\right)-3b-17=-2\\ b=-2$

Find the value of a

$a=\frac{b}{2}\\ a=-1$

The solutions to the system of equations are:

b=-2,a=-1,c=-2

So the quadratic function whose graph contains these points is

$y=-x^{2}-2x-2$

As you can corroborate with the graph of this function.
