1/4 x (8x-16) + 12x = -2 (x+4) factor out 4 from the expression 1/4 x 4(2x-4)+12x= -2(x + 4) distribute -2 through the parenthesis -2x-8 reduce the numbers with 4 , 1/4 x (2x - 4) + 12x = -2x-8 remove parenthesis , collect like terms , 14x-4=2x-8 , combine 14x and 2x which is then 16x=-8+4 , calculate the sum of -8+4=4 , then divide both sides by 16 , it will the give you -1/4

The graph of a quadratic function passes through the points (-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2). Write the quadratic function in general f

ddd [48]

Answer:

$f(x)=x^2+3x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we have the points

(-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2)

Plot the points

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The graph of a quadratic function must be a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The quadratic function in general form is equal to

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each given ordered pair in the general equation and solve for a,b and c

(0,2)

For x=0, y=2

substitute

$2=a(0)^2+b(0)+c$

$c=2$

(-1,0)

For x=-1, y=0

substitute

$0=a(-1)^2+b(-1)+2$

$0=a-b+2$ ----> $a=b-2$ ----> equation A

(-2,0)

For x=-2, y=0

substitute

$0=a(-2)^2+b(-2)+2$

$0=4a-2b+2$ ----> equation B

we have the system

$a=b-2$ ----> equation A

$0=4a-2b+2$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$0=4(b-2)-2b+2$

solve for b

$0=4b-8-2b+2$

$2b=6$

$b=3$

Find the value of a

$a=3-2=1$

therefore

The quadratic function in general form is equal to

$f(x)=x^2+3x+2$

see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem
