Four batches can be made with 6 cups
Answer:
5x^2 +8x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 2) * (x + 2)
We can FOIL
first: 5x*x = 5x^2
outer : 2*5x = 10x
inner: -2x
last : -2*2 = -4
Add these together
5x^2 +10x-2x-4
5x^2 +8x-4
Answer:-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2a) -2
b) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h
2 a)
Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6
If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then
f(6) = 0
⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 16a - 6 = 0
⇒ 16a = 6
⇒ a = 6/16 = 3/8
So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6
To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:
f(x) = 0
⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² = 6
⇒ (x - 2)² = 16
⇒ x - 2 = ±4
⇒ x = 6, -2
Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2
b)
Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6
If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then
f(-4) = 0
⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 36a - 6 = 0
⇒ 36a = 6
⇒ a = 6/36 = 1/6
So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6
To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:
f(x) = 0
⇒ 1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 1/6(x - 2)² = 6
⇒ (x - 2)² = 36
⇒ x - 2 = ±6
⇒ x = 8, -4
Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8
