Fit a quadratic function to these three points:
(-2,8), (0, -4), and (4, 68)
respuesta

f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be y = f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

For the point (-2, 8)  ( x = -2 when y = 8) we have:

a(-2)^2 + (-2)b + c = 8

4a - 2b + c = 8      For (0, -4) we have:

0 + 0 + c = -4   so c = -4.    For (4, 68) we have:

16a + 4b + c = 68  

So we have 2 systems of equations in a and b ( plugging in c = -4):

4a - 2b - 4 = 8

16a + 4b - 4 = 68

4a - 2b = 12

16a + 4b = 72    Multiplying 4a - 2b = 12 by 2 we get:

8a - 4b = 24  

Adding the last 2 equations:

24a = 96

a = 4

Now plugging a = 4 and c = -4 in the first equation:

4(4) - 2b - 4 = 8

-2b = 8 - 16 + 4 = -4

b = 2.

i would need to see the dot plot : )

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
