Algebra II question, please see attachment!
I don't see any instructions for the problem on the attachment.
Are those supposed to be roots of a problem? If so, just FOIL them together
Find a quadratic equation in standard form for each set of points @Directrix
i think it's either the first or second equation
If x = 0, y has to be +4 Look at the options. You can rule out the last two because of the +4 that results from substituting 0 in for x.
Look at the first two options and select one that we can use to test the given points to see if all of them are points of the function.
ohh okay
Let's test one of the top two. Which one?
try the first equation?
y = - x² + 5x - 4 We have to test this first for the point (0.4)
plug in 0 in the place of the x's?
Plug in the x for each equation and whichever one equals that x's y is correct
Yes.
I'll do the first point and you can do the other two if the first point fits the curve.
y = - x² + 5x - 4 Testing (0-,4) y = - (0) ² + 5*0- 4 y = 0 +0 - 4 = -4 So far, so good. It is your turn to test y = - x² + 5x - 4 for the point (1,0), okay?
\[f(x)=-1+5-4\] for (1,0)
or wait y = 1
What is -1 + 5 - 4 =
0
Correct. Now to check the last point.
\[-(2)^2 + 5(2) - 4 = y = 2\] for (2,2)
Correct. We have found the answer to the question.
which one would it be? like how do you make it in that form
This is the function we tested: f(x)= - x² + 5x - 4
Oh okay, brain fart lol
