Which function is a quadratic function?

u(x) is the only quadratic function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given four algebraic functions in x and we have to find which one is a quadratic function.

Let us arrange those polynomials in descending powers of x.

i)

The highest degree is 2.  Hence this is quadratic function.

ii)

The highest degree is 3 and hence this is cubic

iii)

The highest degree is 5 and hence this cannot be quadratic

iv)

The highest degree is 3 and hence this is cubic

Hence u(x) is the only quadratic function.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
