Solution

Let x be the number of bags of pine chips and y be the number of bags of oak chips.

You find that pine chips cost $5 per bag, while oak chips cost $2 per bag.

The minimized total cost is

\min c=5x+2y

Which point gives the vertex of ƒ(x) = –x2 + 4x – 3?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The vertex is (2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = –x^2 + 4x – 3

Factor out the negative

   = -(x^2 -4x+3)

 Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to +3 and add to -4

-3*-1 = 3

-3+-1 = -4

f(x) =  -( x-3)(x-1)

Find the zeros

0 = -( x-3)(x-1)

0 = x-3   0 = x-1

x=3            x=1

The x value of the vertex is 1/2 way between the two zeros

(3+1)/2 = 4/2 =2

To find the y value, substitute x=2 in

f(2) =  -( 2-3)(2-1)

       =-(-1)(1) = 1

The vertex is (2,1)

Help if you can do this please
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since the parabola is compressed by a factor of 1/3 we can state:

  • a parabola is written this way : y=(x-h)²+k
  • h stands for the translation to the left ⇒ 2*3=6
  • k for the units down  ⇒4*3=12

So the equation is : y=(x-6)²+12

b.Here the parabola is stretched by a factor of 2 so we must multiply by 1/2

  • We khow that a parabola is written this way : y=(x-h)²+k
  • (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex
  • the maximum value is  7*0.5=3.5
  • we khow tha the derivative of a quadratic function is null in the maximum value
  • so let's derivate (x-h)²+k= x²+h²-2xh+k
  • f'(x)= 2x-2h    h is 1 since the axe of simmetry is x=1
  • f'(x)=2x-2 ⇒2x-2=0⇒ x= 1
  • Now we khow that 1 is the point where the derivative is null
  • f(1)=3.5
  • 3.5=(x-1)²+k
  • 3.5= (1-1)²+k⇒ k=3.5

So the equation is : y=(x-1)²+3.5

7.

the maximum height is where the derivative equals 0

  • h= -5.25(t-4)²+86
  • h= -5.25(t²-8t+16)+86
  • h=-5.25t²+42t-84+86
  • h=-5.25t²+42t+2

Let's derivate it :

  • f(x)= -10.5t+42
  • -10.5t+42=0
  • 42=10.5t
  • t= 42/10.5=4

When the height was at max t=4s

  • h(max)= -5.25(4-4)²+86 = 86 m

h was 86m
