Graph the data in the table. Which kind of function best models the data? Write an equation to model the data. quadratic; y = 2.5x2 linear; y = 2.5x quadratic; y = –2.5x2 exponential; y = 2.5x

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x               -2              -1                 0                    1                   2

y               10            2.5                0                  2.5                3.0

Ist difference,

    = -2.5

    = 2.5

    = 7.5

2nd difference,

    = 5

    = 5

    = 5

Since 2nd difference is common, given table represents a quadratic equation.

Let the equation is,

y = ax²+ bx + c

For a point (0, 0) passing through the quadratic equation,

0 = c

Therefore, quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx

Since ordered pair (-1, 2.5) passes through the graph of the function,

2.5 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

a - b = 2.5 ------(1)

For another point (1, 2.5)

2.5 = a(1)² + b(1)

a + b = 2.5 ------(2)

By adding equations (1) and (2),

2a = 5

a = 2.5

and from equation (2)→ y = 0

Therefore, equation of the quadratic function given in the table is y = 2.5x²

Option (1) is the answer.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,
