1) Let f(x)=ax2+bx+c for some value of a, b and c. f intersects the x-axis when x=−2 or x=3, and f( 1 3 )=−25. Find the values of a, b and c and sketch the graph of f(x).
2) A right prism has a base that is an equilateral triangle. The height of the prism is equal to the height of the base. If the volume of the prism is 81, what are the lengths of the sides of the base?
thank u sm

1) a = -⅙, b = ⅙, c = 1

2) 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1) f(x) = ax² + bx + c

Given the roots, we can write this as:

f(x) = a (x + 2) (x − 3)

We know that f(13) = -25, so we can plug this in to find a:

-25 = a (13 + 2) (13 − 3)

-25 = 150a

a = -⅙

Therefore, the factored form is:

f(x) = -⅙ (x + 2) (x − 3)

Distributing:

f(x) = -⅙ (x² − x − 6)

f(x) = -⅙ x² + ⅙ x + 1

2) Volume of a right prism is area of the base times the height.

V = Ah

The base is an equilateral triangle.  Area of a triangle is one half the base times height.

V = ½ ab h

The height of the triangle is the same as the height of the prism.

V = ½ bh²

In an equilateral triangle, the height is equal to half the base times the square root of 3.

V = ½ b (½√3 b)²

V = ⅜ b³

Given that V = 81, solve for b.

81 = ⅜ b³

216 = b³

b = 6

step-by-step explanation:

.632

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632
