The point (-1, 3) is the turning point of the graph with equation y = x2 + ax + b, where a and b are integers.
Find the values of a and b.

The turning point of a parabola is the vertex

Vertex form of a quadratic equation:

(where (h, k) is the vertex and a is the coefficient of the variable x²)

Given:

Therefore, a = 1

Substituting a = 1 and the given vertex into the equation:

Therefore, a = 2 and b = 4

The answer is in the image 

y=2x+15

where y=Value of coin

x=Age in years

Value of coin after 19 years=2*19+15

=$53

Therefore, Value after 19 years=$53

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.

The answer is in the image 

tip=18% of 75.45

     =18/100 * 75.45 = $13.581

Tip = $13.581

Area of rectangle= L*b

here,

L=12.4 cm

b= 8.8 cm

A= L*b

= 12.4 * 8.8 = 109.12 cm^2
