Equation of a parabola is written in the form of f(x)=ax²+bx+c.
The equation passes through points (4,0), (1.2,0) and (0,12), therefore;
replacing the points in the equation y = ax² +bx+c
we get 0 = a(4)²+b(4) +c for (4,0)
0 = a (1.2)²+ b(1.2) +c for (1.2,0)
12 = a(0)² +b(0) +c for (0,12)
simplifying the equations we get
16a + 4b + c = 0
1.44a +1.2b + c = 0
+c = 12
thus the first two equations will be
16a + 4b = -12
1.44 a + 1.2b = -12 solving simultaneously
the value of a = 5/2 and b =-13
Thus, the equation of the parabola will be given by;
y= 5/2x² - 13x + 12 or y = 2.5x² - 13x + 12

Answer:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Question 1</u>
⇒ -7x - (8x + 16) = -1
⇒ -7x - 8x - 16 = -1
⇒ -15x = 15
⇒ x = -1
⇒ y = 8(-1) + 16 = 8
⇒ Solution = <u>(-1, 8)</u>
<u></u>
<u>Question 2</u>
⇒ 3x + 4(-3x - 18) = 0
⇒ 3x - 12x - 72 = 0
⇒ -9x = 72
⇒ x = -8
⇒ y = -3(-8) - 18 = 6
⇒ Solution = <u>(-8, 6)</u>
<u>Question 3</u> (not clear)
<u>Question 4</u>
⇒ -8x - 7(6x) = 0
⇒ -8x - 42x = 0
⇒ -50x = 0
⇒ x = 0
⇒ y = 6(0) = 0
⇒ Solution = <u>(0, 0)</u>
<u>Question 8</u>
- 2x - 6y = -14
- y = -5x - 19
⇒ 2x - 6(-5x - 19) = -14
⇒ 2x + 30x + 114 = -14
⇒ 32x = -128
⇒ x = -4
⇒ y = -5(-4) - 19 = 1
⇒ Solution = <u>(-4, 1)</u>
