Given the following three points, find by the hand the quadratic function they represent (0,6, (2,16, (3,33)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function is given as $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

Let's find a, b and c:

Substituting (0, 6):

$6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c$

$6 = 0 + 0 + c$

$c = 6$

Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.

Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6

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

$16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6$

$16 = 4a + 2b + 6$

$16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6$

$10 = 4a + 2b$

$10 = 2(2a + b)$

$\frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2}$

$5 = 2a + b$

$2a + b = 5$ => (Equation 1)

Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6

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

$33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6$

$33 = 9a + 3b + 6$

$33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6$

$27 = 9a + 3b$

$27 = 3(3a + b)$

$\frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3}$

$9 = 3a + b$

$3a + b = 9$ => (Equation 2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.

$3a + b = 9$

$2a + b = 5$

$a = 4$

Replace a with 4 in equation 2.

$2a + b = 5$

$2(4) + b = 5$

$8 + b = 5$

$8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8$

$b = -3$

The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:

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

$f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6$

$f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6$

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,7) and is perpendicular to the line

Temka [501]

The equation of line perpendicular to given line through (-6,7) is:

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$6x+y=3\\y= -6x+3$

The co-efficient of x is the slope of given line.

Let m1 be the slope of given line

and

m2 be the slope of line perpendicular to given line

Then

$m_1=-6$

Product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1

$m_1*m_2 = -1\\-6*m_2=-1\\m_2=\frac{-1}{-6}\\m_2=\frac{1}6}$

The equation of new line can be written as:

$y=m_2x+b\\$

Putting m2

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+b$

To find the value of b, we will put (-6,7) in equation

$7=\frac{1}{6}(-6)+b\\7=-1+b\\b=7+1\\b=8$

Putting the values of b and m in general equation

$y=\frac{1}{6}x+8$
