Y=ax² + bx + c and A(-2,18), B(0.4), C(4,24) given
1)Let's determine 1st the value of c in using the pair of B
4= a(0)² + b(0) + c , c=4 and y=ax²+bx+4
2) Use the pair of A: 18 = 4a -2b + 4===> 4a-2b=14
3) Use C pair: 24 = 16a+4b+4 ==> 16a+4b=20
4) solve the system equation in 2) and 3) and you'll find a=2 and b=-3
Hence the equation is y =2x²-3x+4

Maria got 21 correct.
Number wrong = Total - Number right
y = 25 - 21
y = 4
Maria got 4 wrong.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
A) x-8
Step-by-step explanation:

because

There is a few ways to get the result.
Lets try this.
First calculate how many minutes are in the 5 hours.
60min*5=300min - in 5 hours
Now, knowing that quarter is 15min we can divide 300 by 15 to get the result, so
300:15=20 - its the result.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
x ----> is the number of years since 2009
y ----> is the population of bears
a ----> is the initial value
b ---> is the base
step 1
Find the value of a
For x=0 (year 2009)
y=1,570 bears
substitute


so

step 2
Find the value of b
For x=1 (year 2010)
y=1,884 bears
substitute



The exponential function is equal to

step 3
How many bears will there be in 2018?
2018-2009=9 years
so
For x=9 years
substitute in the equation
