Write the quadratic equation y=x^2-6x+7 in vertex form

1 answer:

4 0

Using the formula x = b/(-2a) to find the x of the vertex you can find y of the vertex and plug into y = a(x - h)² + k where (h, k) is the vertex

h = x = -6/(-2×1) = 3
k = y = (3)² - 6(3) + 7 = -2
a = 1 because it is the coefficient of x² in y = ax² + bx + c

Answer: y = (x - 3)² - 2

A magazine currently has 8700 subscribers for its online web version. It is adding members at the rate of R(t) = 190e0.03t subsc

aleksklad [387]

Number of subscriber the magazine will have after 3 years from now approximately be 8767

Solution:

Given that magazine currently has 8700 subscribers for its online web version

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{t})=190 \mathrm{e}^{0.03 \mathrm{t}} \text { subscribers/month }} \\\\ {\mathrm{S}(\mathrm{t})=\mathrm{e}^{-0.06 \mathrm{t}}}\end{array}$

After 3 years, time(t) = 36 month

Total number of subscribers after 3 years from now :

Substitute "t" = 36

$\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{R}(36)=190 \mathrm{e}^{0.03 \times(36)}=190 \times(2.944)} \\\\ {\mathrm{R}(36) \approx 560} \\\\ {\mathrm{S}(36)=\mathrm{e}^{-0.06 \times(36)}=0.12}\end{array}$
