Answer:

The general form of a quadratic function is --> y = ax2 + bx + c

Since (0, -2) exists for the function, we can plug in those values:

-2 = a(0)2 + b(0) + c

-2 = 0 + 0 + c

-2 = c

So now our function so far is --> y = ax2 + bx - 2

We have two pairs of coordinates left: (-1, -8) and (3, -8).

First, plug in the first pair and simplify as much as you can:

-8 = a(-1)2 + b(-1) - 2

-8 = a - b - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

-6 = a - b (stop here because we can't go further)

Second, plug in the second pair and simplify as much as you can:

-8 = a(3)2 + b(3) - 2

-8 = 9a + 3b - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

-6 = 9a + 3b (stop here because we can't go further)

Now we have these two equations left:

a - b = -6

9a + 3b = -6

Now we solve for a and b using systems of equations, using one of three ways:

substitution

elimination

graphing (not my favorite, but it is doable)

Using substitution:

a - b = -6 can be rewritten as a = b - 6

plug into the second equation and solve for b

9(b - 6) + 3b = -6 (distribute the 9)

9b - 54 + 3b = -6 (combine all of the b's)

12b - 54 = -6 (add 54 to both sides)

12b = 48 (divide by 12 on both sides to isolate b)

b = 4

plug b into one of the original two equations

a - 4 = -6 (add 4 to both sides)

a = -2

The quadratic equation for this table is y = -2x2 + 4b - 2

Answer:

3t-9 >= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Original function f(t)= square root 3t-9

There cannot be a negative in the radicand therefore 3t-9 cannot equal a negative number.

WILL GIVE A BRAINLEST<br><br> What is the value of [3.6]<br> 3<br> 3.5<br> 3.6<br> 4
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

A) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The notation f(x)=[x] represents the greatest integer function, with the integer being less than or equal to x.

Since we have to find the nearest integer smaller than the given number, we can say that greatest integer function always rounds down its input to the nearest integer.

We have to find the value of [3.6]. So we have to round down 3.6 to its nearest integer, which will be 3.

Therefore, the option A gives the correct answer.
