ax – 2 = 12.5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14.5/a

Step-by-step explanation:

ax – 2 = 12.5

Add 2 to each side

ax – 2+2 = 12.5+2

ax = 14.5

Divide by a

ax/a = 14.5/a

x = 14.5/a

Express the function f(x) =3x^2-6x-18 in the form a(x + h)^2=k, where a, h and k are constants.Hence state the :
(i) the minimum value of f(x).
(ii) the value of x for which f (x) is a minimum

Answers

Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

What is an exponential function?

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

As we saw above, the rate of change is a percent, and in this problem, only option A has a rate of change as a percent, hence it is an exponential function.

Given

Monica uses 3 basil leaves for every 8 tomatoes

For 32 tomatoes she needs

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by combining like terms and then factoring. Combining like terms will give you

[tex]10p^2-17p-20=0[/tex] Using the "old-fashioned" way of factoring, the a times c method, our a = 10, b = -17 and c = -20.

a * c = 10(-20) = -200 and now we need the factors of 200 (don't worry about the negative) that combine to give us that middle term, -17p (here is where the negative matters). The factors of 200 are:

1. 200;  2, 100;  4. 50;  5, 40;  8, 25;  10, 20

The combination of those numbers that can be manipulated to give us a -17p is the 8, 25 as long as we say that the 25 is negative and the 8 is positive. Rewrite the original polynomial to reflect those factors:

[tex]10p^2-25p+8p-20=0[/tex] and then factor by grouping:

[tex](10p^2-25p)+(8p-20)=0[/tex] and factor out from each set of parenthesis what is common:

[tex]5p(2p-5)+4(2p-5)=0[/tex] again factor out what is common:

(2p - 5)(5p+ 4) = 0. These are the factors; therefore the solutions are

2p - 5 = 0 so

2p = 5 and

p = 5/2  and

5p + 4 = 0 and

5p = -4 so

p = -4/5

Your teacher gave you 1/2 of a bag of candy, but she only gave your friend 1/3 of a bag. How much more of the bag did your teacher give you than your friend?

Answers

Answer:

We can convert the 2/3 bag of candy that we got to 16/24, by multiplying both the top and bottom by 8. Similarly, we multipy the 1/8 bag of candy that our friend got by 3 on the top and bottom to get 3/24.

We find the difference between these two:

(16/24) - (3/24) = (16-3)/24 = 13/24

So we get 13/24 more of the bag of candy than our friend did.

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you’re being asked the difference between the amounts of your candy and your friend’s candy.

So you must subtract 1/3 from 1/2.

=> 1/2 - 1/3

=> 3*1 - 2*1/3*2. ( You criss-cross and you multiply the denominators)

=>. 3 - 2 /6

=> 1/6

So you got 1/6 more candies in your bag than your friend.

How to find a linear equation?

A general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we know that the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) then we can write the slope as:

[tex]a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

In this case, the line passes through the points: (0, 0) and (-1/2, -3)

Then the slope is:

[tex]a = \frac{0 - (-3)}{0 - (-1/2)} = 6[/tex]

Then the line is of the form y = 6*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that the line passes through the point (0, 0), then we have:

0 = 6*0 + b

0 = b

We can conclude that the line is y = 6*x

Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence.

On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).

What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio

Answers

Answer:

Common Ratio = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points: (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25)

Required

Determine the common ratio

The points can be rewritten as:

x --- f(x)

1 ---- 1

2 --- 2.5

3 ---- 6.25

The data under the x column are the domain of the function and in this case,  they are not needed;

To calculate common ration, Lena should use data in function f(x) column

Common ratio is calculated by dividing a term by the previous term;

Hence;

Common Ratio = 2.5/1 or 6.25/2.5

Common Ratio = 2.5 or 2.5

Notice that, the results are the same;

Hence, the usable common ratio is 2.5

Answer: 2.5 or "C"
