The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
This must double your chances so if i round the nearest whole number would be 8 any questions?
Answer: D (5/2, -17/4)
Step-by-step explanation: Using elimination your goal is to get rid or 1 variable so you can solve for the one that's left. By adding the -2y and 2y you will get 0. You will also add the 3x+x (4x) and -1+11 (10). You have now gotten rid of the y and have 4x=10. By dividing each side by 4 we now know x =2.5. D is the only possible solution with x=2.5 (5/2) but to solve for y you plug 2.5 in to an equation as x so) x-2y=11
2.5-2y=11
-2y=8.5 Answer D (5/2,-17/4) y=-17/4 (4.25)
Answer:
5:2
Step-by-step explanation:
divide both numbers by 7
hope this helps...
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Let's work out the subtraction of the polynomial to find out where the error is and the correct result we should have.
6x² - 4x - 5
- 3x² - 7x + 2
= [6x² - 3x²] [-4x -(-7x)] [-5 -(+2)]
= 3x² + 3x - 7
The error that was made in the subtraction given in the question was that the negative signs before the terms, 7x and 5 were ignored while subtracting.
The sign is very important, it defines the value of the term.
We can choose to solve the problem in another way shown below:
(6x² - 4x - 5) - (3x² - 7x + 2)
Distributive the negative sign in the second polynomial
6x² - 4x - 5 - 3x² + 7x - 2
Combine like terms
6x² - 3x² - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2
3x² + 3x - 7
