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).

Having fun yet?  ;)</em>

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

How many solutions does an equation have when the variable adds out and the final sentence is true?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a system of equation like:

2x+y=4

6x+3y=12

If we make y the subject in the first equation and substitute into the second equation, we get:

6x+3(4-2x)=12

We expand to get:

6x+12-6x=12

6x-6x+12=12

Now the variable adds out to give:

12=12

This statement is true so the equation has infinitely many solution.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

<u>The current value of Vincent's Hotel common stock is US$ 12.95, that fulfills the requirement of an investor of 17% of rate of return annually.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given for answering correctly the question:

Currently common stock dividend = US$ 2.20

Annual growth of the dividend for the next 2 years = 3%

Annual growth of the dividend after the next 2 years = 0%

2. What is the current value of Vincent’s Hotel common stock to an investor requiring 17% rate of return?

17% = 0.17

Current value of Vincent's Hotel common stock = 2.20/0.17

<u>Current value of Vincent's Hotel common stock = US$ 12.95</u>
