Beach Mark is a multiplication to remember
Answer:
Part a) The quadratic function is 
Part b) The value of x is
Part c) The photo and frame together are
wide
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write a quadratic function to find the distance from the edge of the photo to the edge of the frame
Let
x----> the distance from the edge of the photo to the edge of the frame
we know that

Part b) What is the value of x?
Solve the quadratic equation 
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem
we have

so
substitute in the formula

-----> the solution
Part c) How wide are the photo and frame together?

Answer:
[f(2) - f(-1)]/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The table is incomplete, so I will answer the question in general terms. The rate of change between f(-1) and f(2) is computed as follows:
rate of change = [f(2) - f(-1)]/[2 - (-1)] = [f(2) - f(-1)]/3
To complete the calculation you need to replace the values of the function at x = 2 and x = -1, and compute the result.
