Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on making the equation a perfect square

Given ;

$x^2 - 20x + c$

To get c;

$c=(\frac{b}{2} )^2$

where ;

$b= -20$

$c= (\frac{-20}{2} )^2 = 10^2 = 100$

Answer:

c=100

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, it would really help if the coefficient of x^2 is 1 which is so formula for c in this case is just (b/2)^2

So (-20/2)^2

simplifying gives

(-10)^2

100

c=100

Find the range of the function y=-x^2-3x when the domain is {-5,0,2}

umka21 [38]

Answer: $\{-10, 0 \}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the set of output values for the domain (the set of inputs).

When x=-5, y= $-(-5)^{2}-3(-5)=-10$ .
When x=0, $y=-0^{2}-3(0)=0$ .
When x=2, $y=-2^{2}-3(2)=-10$

So, the range is $\boxed{\{-10, 0 \}}$

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park

bonufazy [111]

Year New flowers

1 1200

2 300

3 75

There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year

Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by $\frac{1}{4}$

So first term is 1200 and common ratio is $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes

i =1∑ ∞ 1200( $\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}$

Now we find the sum

We use sum formula

$Sum = \frac{a}{1-r}$

Where a is the first term , a= 1200

r is the common ratio , r= 1/4

$Sum = \frac{1200}{1-(\frac{1}{4})}$

$Sum = \frac{1200}{\frac{3}{4}}$

Sum = 1600 wildflowers

The slope of a line is?

valkas [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is d) the ratio of the change in y to the change in x along the line.

We can tell this by looking at the slope formula.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
