0.59  = (1 - 0.000125)^^x    where x =  number of years of decay

ln 0.59  = x ln(0.999875)

x = 4221  to nearest year

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola.  The first few steps are as follows.  Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex.  Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign.  The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out).  Let's start there.  The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

-2x^2+4x=-1.  Now we factor out the -2:

-2(x^2-2x)=-1.  Now we complete the square.  This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 2x.  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  We add 1 into the set of parenthesis.  But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2).  The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it.  Adding in to both sides looks like this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2.  Simplifying gives us this:

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

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex.  Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

-2(x-1)^2+3=y

From this form,

y=-a(x-h)^2+k

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

Solve the system by substitution.<br> x – 4y = -8<br> 5у – 1 = x<br> Submit Answer
Vikki [24]

Answer:

y = -7 and x = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y = -8

5y - 1 = x

→ Substitute 5y - 1 into x - 4y = -8

5y - 1 - 4y = -8

→ Simplify

y - 1 = -8

→ Add 1 to both sides

y = -7

→ Substitute y = -7 into 5y - 1

( 5 × -7 ) - 1 = -36

558 can be rounded to 600.

44 can be rounded to 40.

600 x 40 = 24,000



2.

9 x 802 = 9 (800 +2) =7200 + 18 = 7218



3.

3699 x 7 = (3700-1) x 7 = 25,900 - 7 = 25,893



4.

34 x 93 = 34 x (100-7) = 3400 - 238 = 3162



5.

678 x 87 = 58,986
