Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

$6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c$

$6 = 0 + 0 + c$

$c = 6$

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6$

$16 = 4a + 2b + 6$

$16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6$

$10 = 4a + 2b$

$10 = 2(2a + b)$

$\frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2}$

$5 = 2a + b$

$2a + b = 5$ => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + x$

$33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6$

$33 = 9a + 3b + 6$

$33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6$

$27 = 9a + 3b$

$27 = 3(3a + b)$

$\frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3}$

$9 = 3a + b$

$3a + b = 9$ => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

$3a + b = 9$

$2a + b = 5$

$a = 4$

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

$2a + b = 5$

$2(4) + b = 5$

$8 + b = 5$

$8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8$

$b = -3$

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

$f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6$

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

20 POINTS<br> Can someone check over these? I have a quiz on it tomorrow :(

Mama L [17]

Looks good! You have the right answers.

However, the graph for 12 and 15 is inaccurate! Because he starts from a stop sign/stop light, the graph's speed should start from the origin!

Not to confuse you or anything, but this means the graph does not follow the description of the problem. Please let your teacher know so s/he can fix the worksheet.
