What is the equation in standard form of a parabola that models the values in the table x -2. 0. 4f(x) 2.5 1.5 -60.5abcd

  (b)  y = -2.5x² -5.5x +1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The table entry (0, 1.5) tells you that the y-intercept is 1.5. That eliminates choices C and D.

Substituting x=4 into the first equation (choice A) shows you it is incorrect:

  y = -5.5(4²) -2.5(4) +1.5 = -88 -10 +1.5 = -96.5 . . . not -60.5

This only leaves choice B, a choice confirmed by a quadratic regression using a graphing calculator (or spreadsheet).

   y = -2.5x² -5.5x +1.5

step-by-step explanation:

g = (2, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

given the ratio is 1 : 1 then f is the midpoint of eg

let the coordinates of g = (x, y)

using the midpoint formula

(0 + x) = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

0 + x = 2 ⇒ x = 2

similarly

(4 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4 + y = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 2

coordinates of g = (2, 2)
