Question

An image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The y-intercept of the graph is (0, 90), and the zeros are 5 and 9. Which equation models the function? y = 90(x – 5)(x – 9) y = 2(x – 5)(x – 9) y = 90(x + 5)(x + 9) y = 2(x + 5)(x + 9)

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

y-intercept of the graph: (0, 90)

zeros: 5 and 9

The equation that models the function based on the zeros given, is either

y = 90 (x-5) (x-9)

or

y= 2(x-5)(x-9)

try solving for the y-intercept of each function, 

y = 90 (0-5) (0-9)

  y = 4050

(0, 4050)

y = 2(0-5) (0-9)

y = 90

(0, 90)

therefore, the equation that models the function is y = 2(x-5)(x-9)

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 2(x-5)(x-9)
