Find the values of a, b, and c such that the equation y=ax2+bx+c has ordered pair solutions (1,16), (−1,−2), and (0,−1). To do so, substitute each ordered pair solution into the equation. Each time, the result is an equation in three unknowns, a, b, and c. Then solve the resulting system of three linear equations in three unknowns, a, b, and c.

  y = 8x² +9x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the quadratic function can be found from three points by substituting the point values into the equation and solving for the coefficients.

The equation we want to find coefficients for is ...

  y = ax² +bx +c

For point (1, 16), the equation is 16 = a(1²) +b(1) +c

For point (-1, -2), the equation is -2 = a(-1)² +b(-1) +c

For point (0, -1), the equation is -1 = a(0) +b(0) +c

__

The last of these equations gives a value for c (c=-1). Substituting that into the other two gives the equations in a and b as ...

  a + b = 17

  a - b = -1

Adding the two equations gives ...

  2a = 16   ⇒   a = 8

Subtracting the second from the first gives ...

  2b = 18   ⇒   b = 9

Then the desired quadratic equation is ...

  y = 8x² +9x -1

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

The solution is in the following image

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg

Approximately it is aqual to 1300kg

Salesperson will make 6% of 1800

=(6/100)*1800

=108

Salesperson will make $108 in $1800 sales

Here,

tip=18%of $32

tip=(18/100)*32

=0.18*32

=$5.76

Total payment=32+5.76=$37.76

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.
