Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
0 = 4x + 4
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 4 on both sides: -4 = 4x
- Divide 4 on both sides: -1 = x
- Rewrite: x = -1
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
f(x) = - 0.6x² + 4.2x + 240 ← factor out - 0.6 from the first 2 terms
= - 0.6(x² - 7x) + 240
To complete the square
add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 7x
f(x) = - 0.6(x² + 2(- 3.5)x + 12.25 - 12.25 ) + 240
= - 0.6 (x - 3.5)² + 7.35 + 240
= - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35
with vertex = (3.5, 247.35 )
The maximum value is the y- coordinate of the vertex
Then
f(x) = - 0.6(x - 3.5)² + 247.35 has a maximum value of 247.35
Answer:
n = 5m + 10 = 5(m + 2), since m + 2 is an integer, then the n is divisible by 5.
