Answer: f(x) = (x + 3)(x – 7)
Step-by-step explanation: Use "standard form" of the function and insert values given: vertex (2,-25) intercept point (7,0)
f(x) = a(x-h)² + k from vertex, h is 2 y is -25 from intercept, x is 7 f(x) is 0
to find a, 0 = a(7-2)² +(-25) 0 = a(7-2)² -25 add 25 to both sides
25 = a(5)² 25 = 25a 25/25 = a 1=a (seems useless but verifies implied "a"coefficient is 1)
f(x) = a(x-h)² + k solve to get the quadratic form
f(x) = (x-2)² -25 (x - 2)² is x² -4x +4
f(x) = x² -4x +4 -25 simplify
f(x) = x² -4x - 21 then factor
f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 7)
Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.

Answer:
2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of speed and time is distance. If the distance is the same, then time is inversely proportional to speed. At 60/50 = 6/5 times the speed, the return trip will take 5/6 times the time:
(5/6)(3 hours) = 2.5 hours . . . time for return trip
