Answer:

y = (x - 3)² + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Using the method of completing the square

y = x² - 6x + 15

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 6x

y = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 15

y = (x - 3)² - 9 + 15

y = (x - 3)² + 6 ← in vertex form

xenn [34]

We know it begins at 100. If we use a*b^t, then 100 is our a. 100*b^t. We can now divide 480 by 100. This is 4.8. 4.8 is b. f(t) = 100(4.8)^t

7. The points P(2, -3), Q(3, -2) and R(8, z) are

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear then the slopes between the points are equal.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (2, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (3, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2+3}{3-2}$ = 1

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = Q (3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = R (8, z )

m = $\frac{z+2}{8-3}$ = $\frac{z+2}{5}$ , then

$\frac{z+2}{5}$ = 1 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

z + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

z = 3
