Jerry is planting white daisies and red tulips in his garden and he wants to choose a pattern in which the tulips surround the d

aisies. He uses tiles to generate patterns starting with two rows of three daisies. He surrounds these daisies with a border of tulips. The design continues as shown. Jerry writes the expression 8(b − 1) + 10 for the number of tulips in each border, wherein b is the border number and b ≥ 1. Complete the explanation to explain why Jerry's expression is correct.

The borders are shown in the picture attached.

As you can see, starting with border 1, we have 6 daises (white squares) surrounded by 10 tulips (colored squares). Through Jerry's expression we expected:
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(1 − 1) + 10 =
0 + 10 =
10 tulips.

When considering border 2, we expect: 
<span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(2 − 1) + 10 =
8 + 10 =
<span>18 tulips.
Indeed, we have the 10 tulips from border 1 and 8 additional tulips, for a total of 18 tulips.

Then, consider border 3, we expect:
</span><span>8(b − 1) + 10 =
</span>8(3 − 1) + 10 =
16 + 10 =
26<span> tulips.
Again, this is correct: we have the 10 tulips used in border 1 plus other 16 tulips, for a total of 26.

Therefore, Jerry's expression is correct.</span>

Solve for z.<br><br> –9 + 8(14z + 2) = 7(17z + 8)<br><br> z =
monitta

Answer:

z=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-9+8*14z+8*2=7*17z+7*8

-9+112z+16=119z+56

112z+7=119z+56

-112z       -112z

7=7z+56

-56    -56

-49=7z

:7     :7

z=-7

Explain why the quadratic relation y=2x^2+3x+5 would have no zeros
alex41 [277]

Complete the square to rewrite the quadratic:

2 <em>x</em>² + 3 <em>x</em> + 5 = 2 (<em>x</em>² + 3/2 <em>x</em>) + 5

... = 2 (<em>x</em>² + 3/2 <em>x</em> + 9/16 - 9/16) + 5

... = 2 (<em>x</em>² + 3/2 <em>x</em> + (3/4)²) + 5 - 9/8

... = 2 (<em>x</em> + 3/4)² + 31/8

Any real number squared becomes non-negative, so the quadratic expression has a minimum value of 31/8, which is greater than 0, and so there are no (real) <em>x</em> for which <em>y</em> = 0.
