Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: NO solution possible!

Steps:

Let "n" be the first even number. We are told that

n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) + (n +8) = 216

The third number, the value we want, is boldfaced above.

Simplify the above equation:

5n + ( 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 ) = 216 or

5n + 20 = 216 or

5n = 196

n = 196/5 is NOT an integer value. This problem, as stated, has no solution.

Regards, MrB

Answer:

D. 5y^2 - 4y - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms:

(y^2 -y +1) +(4y^2 -3y -2)

= y^2(1 +4) +y(-1-3) +(1 -2)

= 5y^2 -4y -1

First error is that the legs are a and b so a should be x and b is 6 and c is 10 the second error is at the end they did not take the square root to get x by itself the real answer should be
X^2 +6^2=10^2
X^2+36=100
X^2 =64
X=8

Y=-1/3x^2-4x-5 in vertex form

grigory [225]

Answer:

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7$ [Vertex form]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5$

We need to find the vertex form which is.,

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

where $(h,k)$ represents the co-ordinates of vertex.

We apply completing square method to do so.

We have

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5$

First of all we make sure that the leading co-efficient is =1.

In order to make the leading co-efficient is =1, we multiply each term with -3.

$-3\times Y=-3\times\frac{1}{3}x^2-(-3)\times4x-(-3)\times 5$

$-3Y=x^2+12x+15$

Isolating $x^2$ and $x$ terms on one side.

Subtracting both sides by 15.

$-3Y-15=x^2+12x-15-15$

$-3Y-15=x^2+12x$

In order to make the right side a perfect square trinomial, we will take half of the co-efficient of $x$ term, square it and add it both sides side.

square of half of the co-efficient of $x$ term = $(\frac{1}{2}\times 12)^2=(6)^2=36$

Adding 36 to both sides.

$-3Y-15+36=x^2+12x+36$

$-3Y+21=x^2+12x+36$

Since $x^2+12x+36$ is a perfect square of $(x+6)$ , so, we can write as:

$-3Y+21=(x+6)^2$

Subtracting 21 to both sides:

$-3Y+21-21=(x+6)^2-21$

$-3Y=(x+6)^2-21$

Dividing both sides by -3.

$\frac{-3Y}{-3}=\frac{(x+6)^2}{-3}-\frac{21}{-3}$

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7$ [Vertex form]
