Fit a quadratic function to these three points:
(−2, 8), (0, −4), and (4, 68)
A. y = −2x2 − 2x − 4
B. y = −2x2 + 2x − 4
C. y = 4x2 + 2x − 4
D. y = −4x2 − 2x − 4
Answer: y= 4x² +2x -4
C. y = 4x2 + 2x − 4
Step-by-step explanation: f(x)=4x^2+2x-4
Given three points
P1(-2,8)
P2(0,-4)
P3(4,68)
We need the quadratic equation that passes through all three points.
Solution:
We first assume the final equation to be
f(x)=ax^2+bx+c .............................(0)
Observations:
1. Points are not symmetric, so cannot find vertex visually.
2. Using the point (0,-4) we substitute x=0 into f(x) to get
f(0)=0+0+c=-4, hence c=-4.
3. We will use the two other points (P1 & P3) to set up a system of two equations to find a and b.
f(-2)=a(-2)^2+b(-2)-4=8 => 4a-2b-4=8.................(1)
f(4)=a(4^2)+b(4)-4=68 => 16a+4b-4=68.............(2)
4. Solve system
2(1)+(2) => 24a+0b-12=84 => 24a=96 => a=96/24 => a=4 ......(3)
substitute (3) in (2) => 16(4)+4b-4=68 => b=8/4 => b=2 ..........(4)
5. Put values c=-4, a=4, b=2 into equation (0) to get
f(x)=4x^2+2x-4
Check:
f(-2)=4((-2)^2)+2(-2)-4=16-4-4=8
f(0)=0+0-4 = -4
f(4)=4(4^2)+2(4)-4=64+8-4=68
So all consistent, => solution ok.

Answer:
y = 4x² + 2x − 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-values go down and up again, so the parabola opens upward. That means the x² coefficient must be positive. All answer choices are eliminated except one.
y = 4x² +2x -4
There are other ways to get the answer. One of them is to use the quadratic regression function of a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. The one attached shows the points are matched by the equation ...
y = 4x² +2x -4 . . . . . as above
...............................................................................................................................................
What would the answer be
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
process of elimination. the red dot is not a 1/4 of the number of lines, so it cant be 12.25, 13.625 is impossible because it has a value less than 13, and 12.625 is impossible as well because it has a value less than 12.5 therefore 12.375 is the best answer, and the only correct answer

Explain two ways you can benchmark percents to find 60% of 280
Answer:
The most common benchmark percents are 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
To find 60% of 280 we first find 10% of 280 which is 28. 6 x 28 = 168.
To find 60% of 280 we first find 50% of 280 which is 140. Now we add 10% which we calculated before: 140 + 28 = 168.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Explain two ways you can benchmark percents to find 60% of 280
1) 280 : 100 * 60 = 168
2) 280 * 0.6 = 168

Answer:
Fertilizer puts nitrogen into the soil, so using fertilizer puts more nitrogen into the carbon cycle.
When you use fertilizer, its because a certain plant you are planting uses all the nitrogen in the soil, so it won't grow next time. Too much fertilizer, though, would burn up your plant (not literally). Some plants put their own nitrogen into the soil. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I believe potatoes do. Anyways, this is where crop rotation came into play.
Things like corn take a lot of nitrogen, so the next time you had to plant whatever plant potatoes, which again may be wrong, in order to get nitrogen for the corn to grow next season. Today we have fertilizer, so we can give them nitrogen while they grow, instead of putting in other plants, taking more time.
So really, it doesn't do much, because your plant takes all the nitrogen that the Fertilizer adds.
Answer:
People have been converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen fertilizers and then applying the fertilizers to plants in to grow more crops. This has previously been quite effective, allowing individuals to farm on previously unproductive lands, and provide adequate food for expanding populations of people. Unfortunately, fertilizers are frequently overused, which can lead to issues.
Nitrogen from fertilizers excretes into soils, typically promoting the growth of weeds rather than native vegetation. Nitrogen then washes into streams, resulting in a nutrient overload, a phenomenon known as eutrophication.
Eutrophication causes aquatic weeds to proliferate excessively in freshwater lakes. These aquatic weeds occasionally occupy entire lakes, streams, or rivers. Green algae cloud the water, and gooey algal slime covers the shallow rocks.
When nitrogen-rich waters flow down into the ocean, they worsen the situation. High nitrogen concentrations in the Mississippi River Delta have generated a 'dead zone' where the water flows into the Gulf of Mexico. This has occurred every summer for over 30 years. In 2001, this dead zone, where oxygen levels are too low for species to thrive, encompassed over 8000 square miles of water. It occurs when nitrogen in the water enables algae to quickly grow out of control.

Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, but like they say in Vegas, you're trying to make your point the hard way.
8 * (8 - 4) So the distributive property is means remove the brackets.
8*8 - 4*8 What you have done is multiply the numbers on either side of the - sign by 8. It is a good practice NOT to destroy the minus sign just yet.
64 - 32
32 The answer is 32. That's how the distributive property works
With this question only It might be easier to do what is inside the brackets first. That's making your point the easy way.
8*(8-4) = 8* 4 = 32
9. A cheetah is located 100 yards away from an antelope. The cheetah begins running on a straight path toward the antelope at a constant speed of 30 yards per second. At the same time, the antelope begins running away from the cheetah at a constant speed of 25 yards per second. If both animals continue to run on a straight path at the same speeds, how long will it take for the cheetah to catch up to the antelope?
It takes 20 seconds for the cheetah to catch up to the antelope
Speed is the ratio of distance to time taken. It is given by:
Speed = distance / time
Let d represent the distance covered by the cheetah at time t, hence:
30 = d / t
t = d / 30
The antelope is 100 yards away, hence:
25 = (d - 100) / t
t = (d - 100)/25
d/30 = (d - 100)/25
25d = 30d - 3000
d = 600 yards
t = d/30 = 600/30 = 20 seconds
It takes 20 seconds for the cheetah to catch up to the antelope

A company makes 110 bags. 30 of the bags have buttons but no zips. 23 of the bags have zips but no buttons. 23 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons. How many bags have zips on them?
Well, 30+23+23 = 76 which means there are only a total of 76 bags that are accounted for. 110-76 = 34 bags which we do not know if they have zips or not. If we assume they have zips, that would be 34+23 bags with zips which is 57 bags.
