Answer:

\large\boxed{\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{7}{4}\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of an equation of a parabola <em>f(x) = ax² + bx + c:</em>

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>

<h3>METHOD 1:</h3>

h=\dfrac{-b}{2a},\ k=f(h)\\\\f(x)=x^2-x+2\to a=1,\ b=-1,\ c=2\\\\h=\dfrac{-(-1)}{(2)(1)}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\k=f\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1\cdot2}{2\cdot2}+2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{2}{4}+2=-\dfrac{1}{4}+2=1\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\boxed{\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{7}{4}\right)}

<h3>METHOD 2:</h3>

\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\f(x)=x^2-x+2=\underbrace{x^2-2(x)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2}_{(*)}-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+2\\\\=\left(x-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{1}{4}+2=\left(x-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+1\dfrac{3}{4}=\left(x-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\h=\dfrac{1}{2},\ k=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\boxed{\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{7}{4}\right)}

Why is the lcm of two numbers never less than the larger number?
Lady bird [3.3K]
This involves a bit of logic in thinking about what LCM actually means.

LCM is the least common multiple. A common multiple is a multiple shared by two or more numbers. And by multiple, we mean some number multiplied by successive integers; this set contains multiples of 5 {5, 10, 15, 20, 25...}. You can see that the least (or lowest) common multiple is the lowest multiple shared by two numbers. Like for 6 and 9, you have {6, 12, 18, 24...} and {9, 18...}, so LCM(6,9) = 18. 

Now, if an LCM must be shared by both numbers, and to get a multiple of the largest number, you have to multiply by an integer greater than or equal to 1, then the LCM of two numbers can never be less than the larger of the twi numbers. Generally, if x and y are positive real numbers, and x is greater than y, LCM(x,y)  \leq x.

Answer:

The probability of rolling a sum greater than 1 when rolling two fair numbered cube is 1 or 36/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no 1 as a sum when rolling two fair numbered cubes, so all the sums will be greater than 1.

Solve the following system of equations using a method of your choice.
dusya [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cant remember what this method is called but

change the second equation to be y = something

x + y = 10

y = -x + 10

plug in this y= in the first equation to get x

4x -2(-x + 10) = 4

4x + 2x -20 = 4

6x = 24

x = 4

then plug in the x we found into the original second equation

4 + y = 10

y = 6

so your ordered pair would be (4,6)

hope this helps <3

Rewrite 23/25 and 9/10 so they have a common denominator
Kazeer [188]
Well you have to have the common at 50 because that it so multiply23/25 by 2 and 9/10 by 5 so 45/50 and 46/50
