Answer to Problem 25HP

The equation of parabola is y=3x2+4x6.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The three points that lie on parabola are (2,10),(5,101),(6,90).

Calculation:

Consider the three points that lie on parabola are (2,10),(5,101),(6,90) . The standard form of equation of parabola is y=ax2+bx+c.

Form the system of equations with help of three points.

  a(2)2+b(2)+c=10a(5)2+b(5)+c=101a(6)2+b(6)+c=90

Simplify it,

  4a+2b+c=1025a5b+c=10136a+6b+c=90

Take the first and the second equation,

  4a+2b+c=1025a5b+c=101

Use the method of elimination to solve the system above.

Subtract both the equations,

  4a+2b+c=1025a5b+c=10121a+7b=91

Simplify it further as,

  21a+7b=913a+b=13

Take the first and the third equation,

  4a+2b+c=1036a+6b+c=90

Multiply first equation by 2.

Use the method of elimination to solve the system above.

Subtract both the equations,

  32a+4b=808a+b=20

Solve the system of equation 3a+b=13 and 8a+b=20.

Subtract both the equations,

  11a=33a=3

Substitute a=3 in the equation 3a+b=13.

  9+b=13b=4

Now substitute a=3 and b=4 in the equation 4a+2b+c=10 ,

  12+8+c=10c=10+4c=6

Now, substitute the values of a, b and c in y=ax2+bx+c.

  y=3x2+4x6

Thus, the equation of parabola is y=3x2+4x6.
