10(x^2) = 80x
(divide by the 10)
x^2 = 8x
which also equals
(x)(x) = 8x
(divide by x)
x = 8
If the discriminant is positive,that means that there are roots that are real and therefore, when y=0, the roots are there and for the quadratic to meet it has to go down (or up if in ax²+bx+c a is negative). If the discriminant is 0, that means that since the x value of the vertex is -b/2a and if you have
x=

and b^2-4ac=0, we're left with 0 and we are therefore left with -b/2a as the vertex and the vertex being the x intercept. If the discriminant is negative, that means that there is no y intercept and the vertex therefore has to be over y=0
Answer:
a. y = 250 (0.4)^x
b. 0.066
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be modeled as a geometric sequence, where the first term is 100 and the common ratio is 0.4.
y = 100 (0.4)^(x − 1)
This can also be simplified to:
y = 250 (0.4)^x
When x = 9:
y = 250 (0.4)^9
y = 0.066
Answer:
-x^5 + 3x^4 + 2x^2 + x divided by 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
divide each term by 2x and you will get -x^4/2 + 3x^3/2 + x + 1/2
