Let's compare the given function with the model for a quadratic equation:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=ax^2+bx+b \\ a=2,b=12,c=-6 \end{gathered}$

Since the value of a is positive, the parabola has its concavity upwards, and the function has a minimum value.

The minimum value can be found calculating the y-coordinate of the vertex:

$\begin{gathered} x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{12}{4}=-3 \\ \\ y_v=2\cdot(-3)^2+12\cdot(-3)-6 \\ y_v=2\cdot9-36-6^{} \\ y_v=-24 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the minimum value is -24.

-3/v=-6 simply as much as possible

Hey!

In order to simplify this equation, we'll first have to multiply both sides of the equation by v. This will give us v on its own.

Original Equation :
$\frac{-3}{v} = -6$

New Equation {Added Multiply Both Sides by V} :
$\frac{-3}{v} v=-6v$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$-3 = -6v$

Now we'll switch sides to get v on the left side of the equation which is generally where we always want the variables to be located in these types of equations.

Old Equation :
$-3 = -6v$

New Equation {Switched} :
$-6v=-3$

Now we'll divide both sides by v to get v on its own.

Old Equation :
$-6v = -3$

New Equation {Added Divide Both Sides by V} :
$\frac{-6v}{v} = \frac{-3}{v}$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$v = \frac{1}{2}$

So, this means that in the equation $\frac{-3}{v} =-6$ , $v = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Hope this helps!

What is true about a rhombus and square?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

B. all of these are true

Step-by-step explanation:

The Square is a rhombus because all the sides of a square are equal in length. Even, the diagonals of both square and rhombus are perpendicular to each other and bisect the opposite angles. Therefore, we can say the square is a rhombus.

Hope this helped!!

Amy's grandmother gave her 3 identical chocolate chip cookies and 4 identical sugar cookies. In how many different orders can Am

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

chocolate chip cookie first: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie last: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie first and last: 5 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 7 cookies.

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total).

So, to find the number of different orders that Amy can eat the remaining cookies, we just need to calculate a combination of 6 choose 2 (that is, the number of ways we can put the 2 chocolate cookies among the 6 cookies) or a combination of 6 choose 4 (same thing, but for the sugar cookies):

C(6,2) = 6! / (2! * 4!) = 6 * 5 / 2 = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie last, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total), so the problem is solved again with a combination of 6 choose 2:

C(6,2) = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first and last, she will have just 1 chocolate cookie left and 4 sugar cookies (5 in total), so the problem is solved with a combination of 5 choose 1 or a combination of 5 choose 4:

C(5,1) = 5! / (1! * 4!) = 5 ways

A number is selected from the set (1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, 500). If equal elemental probabilities are assigned, what is

Katen [24]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{9}$ OR 77.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we first need to find out how many numbers fit the "less than 29 or odd" group.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, and 29, which is a total of 7 numbers.

Next, we figure out the total amount of numbers in the population.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, and 500, which is a total of 9 numbers.

Finally, we put the first number (7) over the total (9) = $\frac{7}{9}$

$\frac{7}{9}$ is now able to be written in a percentage, if you need.

The probability is $\frac{7}{9}$ OR 77.78%
