X = dull pencils 
y = sharp pencils
x + y = 100
y = x + 16 ~~Plug this back into your original x+y equation.
x+x+16=100 ==> 2x = 84 ==> x = 42. Plug this back into the y = equation
 y = 42 + 16 ==> y = 58.

42 Dull, 58 sharp.

a line segment has (x1,y1) as one endpoint and (xm,ym) as its midpoint. Find the other endpoint (x2,y2)of the line segment in te
svlad2 [7]

(x1,y1)

(x2,y2)

(xm,ym)

Midpoint formula is given as below.

((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )

Where

(x1 + x2)/2 = xm ----------- (1)

(y1 + y2)/2 = ym ----------- (2)

Equation (1) implies that;

x1 + x2 = 2xm

x2 = 2xm – x1

Equation (2) implies that;

y1 + y2 = 2ym

y2 = 2ym – y1

Thus the end point is

<span>(x2,y2) = (2xm – x1, 2ym – y1)</span>

Given the parent function of f(x) = x³, what is the value of k in the translated graph of f(x - h) + k?
jekas [21]

The value of k in the translated graph of f(x - h) + k is; k = 2

<h3>How to carry out Translations on Graphs?</h3>

We are given the parent function of f(x) = x³.

Now, the point (0, 0) in the graph of f(x) is the point (3, 2) in the translated graph. Thus;

The rule of translation is;

(x, y) → (x + 3, y + 2)

That means;

The translation is 3 units to the right and 2 units up

The equation of the translated graph is equal to;

f(x) = (x - 3)³ + 2

Thus;

The value of k is equal to 2.

Rewrite the function by completing the square. h(x)= 4 x^{2} -36 x +81
noname [10]

Answer:

4(x-4.5)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=4x^2-36x+81

=4(x^2-9x)+81

=4(x^2-9x+20.25)-(4)(20.25)+81

=4(x-4.5)^2
