Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, the first thing you want to do is get all of the numbers on one side, and all the x terms on the other.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given quadratic function:</u>
<u>Points on the graph:</u>
- (-2,-35), (1,-5), (3,- 15)
<u>Substitute values of x and y and solve the system of equations:</u>
- -35 = a(-2)² + b(-2) + c ⇒ -35 = 4a - 2b + c ⇔ eq 1
- -5 = a(1)² + b(1) + c ⇒ -5 = a + b + c ⇔ eq 2
- -15 = a(3)² + b(3) + c ⇒ -15 = 9a + 3b + c ⇔ eq 3
<u>Subtract eq 2 from eq 1:</u>
- -35 - (-5) = 4a - 2b + c - a - b - c
- -30 = 3a - 3b
- b = a + 10 ⇔ eq 4
<u>Subtract eq 2 from eq 3:</u>
- -15 - (-5) = 9a + 3b + c - a - b - c
- -10 = 8a + 2b
- b = -4a - 5 ⇔ eq 5
<u>Compare eq 4 and eq 5, solve for a:</u>
- a + 10 = -4a - 5
- a + 4a = -5 - 10
- 5a = -15
- a = -3
<u>Find the value of b using eq 4:</u>
<u>Find the value of c using eq 2:</u>
- -5 = -3 + 7 + c
- c = -5 - 4
- c = -9
<u>We now have a, b and c:, the function is:</u>
Answer:
The correct answers are:
0.95g
g - 0.05g
(1 - 0.05)g
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of last week's rain = g inches
this week = 5% decrease on last week's amount
5% of last week's amount = 5/100 × g = 0.05g
∴ This week's amount of rain = 0.05g decrease
∴ Amount of rain this week = (Amount of rain last week) - 0.05g
∴ Amount of rain this week = g - 0.05g
This can be simplified by factorizing the common term "g"
g - 0.05g = g(1 - 0.05) = 0.95g
There is no solution to this system of equations because they both have the same slope.
If two lines have the same slope, but are not identically the same line, then they will never intersect. There is no pair (x, y) that could satisfy both equations, because there is no point (x, y) that is simultaneously on both lines. Therefore, these equations are said to be inconsistent, and there is no solution.
First we need to know how much each pen costs. So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11. That gives us 1.07 per pen. So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4. That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer. For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5. That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer. For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42. So we know the correct answer is option C.
