Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sheep be x and the number of chickens be y.

It is given that there are total 16 animals.

x+y=16           .... (1)

The number of chickens, y, is 4 less than the number of sheep, x.

y=x-4            .... (2)

Using (1) and (2), we get

x+(x-4)=16

2x-4=16

Add 4 on both the sides.

2x=16+4

2x=20

Divide both sides by 2.

x=10

Put x=10 in equation (1).

10+y=16

Subtract 10 from both the sides.

y=16-10

y=6

The ordered pair (10,6) represents the number of chickens and sheep. Therefore the correct option is 4.

Complete the square to write the quadratic expression in vertex form.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1. (x - 3)² = 8

2. (x + 2)² = 3

3. (x + 6)² = $ \frac{101}{2} $

4. (x + 3)² = 27

5. (x + 4)² = 13

6.  $ \bigg( x - \frac{15}{9} \bigg) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} = \frac{29}{9} $

Step-by-step explanation:

Completion of Square: $ (x - a) ^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2 $

In the following problems the terms in the RHS of the above equation may be missing. We balance the equation. Simplify it and re write it in terms of LHS.

1. x² - 6x + 1 = 0

Taking the constant term to the other side, we get:

x² - 6x = - 1

⇒ x² - 2(3)x = -1

⇒ x² -2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9  [Adding 9 to both the sides]

⇒ x² -2(3)x + 3² = 8

⇒ (x - 3)² = 8 is the answer.

2. 3x² + 12x + 3 = 0

Note that the co-effecient of x² is not 1. We make it 1, by dividing the whole equation by 3. And then proceed like the previous problem.

3x² + 12x = -3

Dividing by 3 through out, x² + 4x = - 1

⇒ x² + 2(2) + 4 = -1 + 4

⇒ x² +2(2) + 2² = 3

⇒ (x + 2)² = 3 is the answer.

3. 2x² + 24x = 29

x² + 12x = $ \frac{29}{2} $

⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 36 = $ \frac{29}{2} $ + 36

⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 6² = $ \frac{29 + 72}{2} $

⇒ (x + 6)² = $ \frac{101}{2} $ is the answer.

4. x² + 6x - 18 = 0

x² + 6x = 18

⇒ x² + 2(3)x = 18

⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 18 + 9

⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 3² = 27

⇒ (x + 3)² = 27 is the answer.

5. x² + 8x + 3 = 0

x² + 8x = -3

⇒ x² + 2(4)x = -3

⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16

⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 13

⇒ (x + 4)² = 13 is the answer.

6. 9x² - 30x + 6 = 0

9x² - 30x = - 6

⇒ x² $ - \frac{30}{9} $ x = - 6

$ \implies x^2 -2 \bigg( \frac{15}{9} \bigg )x + \frac{225}{81} = - 6 + \frac{225}{81} $

$ \implies x^2 - 2\bigg( \frac{15}{9} \bigg ) x + \bigg ( \frac{15}{9} \bigg ) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} $

$ \bigg( x - \frac{15}{9} \bigg) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} = \frac{29}{9} $ is the answer.

Which expression can be simplified to find the slope of the trend line in the scatterplot?
Maslowich

Answer:

1. \frac{24-79}{12-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of a scatter-plot and we are asked to find the correct expression than can be solved to find the slope of the trend line in the scatter-plot.

Since we know that slope of a line can be found by dividing the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by difference of the x-coordinates of these same points.  

\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}  

We can see that (2,79) and (12,24) are two given points of our trend line. So let us substitute x and y-coordinates of our given points in slope formula to find the our desired expression.    

x_1=2

x_2=12

y_1=79

y_2=24

\text{Slope}=\frac{24-79}{12-2}

Therefore, the expression \text{Slope}=\frac{24-79}{12-2} can be solved to find the slope of the trend line in the scatter-plot and 1st option is the correct choice.

Which would be the best trend line for the given data set?
KengaRu [80]

y=-2/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scattered plot, it is evident that the line of best fit will have a negative slope from the way the plots are aligned.

Selecting the line of best fit that will cut the y axis at +5, the points can be estimated as;

(5,1.5) and (3.5,2.5)

The slope can be found as;

m=Δy/Δx

m=2.5-1.5/3.5-5 =1.0/ -1.5 = -0.67

Finding the equation as;

m=Δy/Δx

-0.66 = y-2.5/x-3.5

-0.66(x-3.5) = y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3=y-2.5

-0.66x+2.3+2.5=y

-0.66x+4.7=y

⇒⇒  y= -0.66 x + 4.7

⇒⇒y= -2/3 x + 5
