Garrett works for a company that builds parking lots the graph shows the area of a parking lot based on the length of one side.
which equation best models the graph

A. A= -0.5x^2 -69.9x + 3,263
B. A= x^2 -69.9x + 3,263
C. A= x^2 -78x + 2,258
D. A= 0.5x^2 -69.9x + 3,263

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a quadratic equation of the form:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

First, things you must see.

The graph opens up, so we must have thata a is greater than zero, so we can discard the first option.

Second, we can see that the vertex is located in x ≈ 70

The vertex of a quadratic equation is: x = -b/2a

so we have:

70 = -b/2a

let's try our options and see if we can discard other:

B:

-b/2a = 69.9/2 = 34.95

we can discard this option.

C:

-b/2a = 78/2 = 39 we can discard this option.

D:

-b/2a = 69.9/2*0.5 = 69.9

This is the only one that fits, so this is the correct option.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
