If y = -4x^2 - 7x + 2, and we want it in vertex form, we'll have to use "completing the square."  Do you know that approach?

y = -4x^2 - 7x + 2 can be re-written as   y-2 = -4x^2 - 7x , which looks a bit like the "vertex form" y-k = a(x-h)^2

We must complete the square of -4(x^2 + (7/4)x).

Here's what <em>I'd do:  -4(x^2 + (7/4)x + (7/8)^2 - (7/8)^2 )
This becomes -4( (x+7/4)^2 - (7/8)^2 )   (remember that this is equal to y-2)

Then y-2 = -4(x+7/4)^2 -(49/64) ) = -4(x+7/4)^2 + 4(49/64)
                                             or y-2 = -4(x+7/4)^2 + 49/16
Subtract 49/16 from both sides, obtaining y - (2+49/16) = -4(x+7/4)^2

Note that 2+49/16 = (32+49)/16 = 81/16.  Thus, we have

y - 81/16 = -4(x+7/4)^2.  Compare this to y-k = a(x-h)^2, and see that h=-7/4 and k = 81/16.   The vertex is at (-7/4, 81/16).

Y = -4x² -7x + 2 

Take out -4 as the common factor:
y = - 4(x² + 7/4x - 1/2)

Add ±(b/2)² to form perfect square:
y = -4(x² + 7/4x + (7/8)² - (7/8)² - 1/2)

<em>Form perfect square:</em>
y = -4[ (x + 7/8)² -  49/64 - 1/2]

<em>Combine the terms outside the perfect square:</em>
y = - 4[ (x + 7/8)² -81/64 ] 

<em>Make it into a(x - k)² + h format;</em>
y = -4 (x + 7/8)²   + 81/16

Equation of the vertex : y = -4 (x + 7/8)²   + 81/16

Write an augmented matrix for the following system of equations
chubhunter [2.5K]
Just use the coefficients for each variable and put it in a matrix. Is the second question set equal to something? Because then you would put it in place as the question mark. (Did the pic come through?)
So the 3x3 matrix is made up of the coefficients and then to augment the matrix, you add another column at the end with the solutions. Good luck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that our original exponential formula was y = a b x. You will notice that in these new growth and decay functions, the b value (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 + r) or by (1 - r). The growth "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.

An exponential function of a^x (a>0) is always ln(a)*a^x, as a^x can be rewritten in e^(ln(a)*x). By deriving, the term (ln(a)) gets multiplied with a^x. The derivative shows, that the rate of change is similiar to the function itself. For 0<a<1, ln(a) becomes negative and so is the rate of change.

Linear models are used when a phenomenon is changing at a constant rate, and exponential models are used when a phenomenon is changing in a way that is quick at first, then more slowly, or slow at first and then more quickly.

A. each mug will be 1/9 because 4/9 divide by 4 is 1/9
b 3/9 or 1/3 because 1/9 times 3 is 3/9
