aApolynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.

There are 3 sets of polynomials; LINEAR, QUADRATIC and CUBIC

Linear: $ax + b = 0$

Quadratic: $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Cubic: $ax^3 + bx^2+cx+d = 0$

Respuesta de (-0.5)²

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(-0.5)^2$

we know that

$-0.5=-\frac{1}{2}$

substitute

$(-\frac{1}{2})^2=(-\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})$

Remember that

$(-1)(-1)=1\\(-1)(1)=(-1)$

so

$(-\frac{1}{2})(-\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

The focus of a parabola is located at (0,–2). The directrix of the parabola is represented by y = 2. Which equation represents t

Archy [21]

Answer:

$\boxed{x^2=-8y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a,b)\ is \ the\ focus\\y=k\ is \ the\ directrice\\\\Formula\ to\ use:\ y=\dfrac{(x-a)^2}{2(b-k)} +\dfrac{b+k}{2} \\\\Here: \ a=0,\ b=-2, \ k=2\\\\y=\dfrac{(x-0)^2}{2(-2-2)} +\dfrac{-2+2}{2} \\\\so\ y=-\dfrac{x^2}{8} \\\\or\ x^2=-8y$

Noah has a summer tree-trimming business. Based on experience, Noah knows that his profit, P, in dollars, can be modelled by = −

crimeas [40]

Solving quadratic equations, it is found that he needs to charge:

1. He needs to charge $40 to break even.

2. He needs to charge $30 for a profit of $600.

<h3>What is a quadratic function?</h3>

A quadratic function is given according to the following rule:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

The solutions are:

$x_1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

In which:

$\Delta = b^2 - 4ac$

The profit equation in this problem is:

P(x) = -3x² + 150x - 1200.

He breaks even when P(x) = 0, hence:

-3x² + 150x - 1200 = 0.

The coefficients are a = -3, b = 150, c = -1200, hence:

$\Delta = 150^2 - 4(-3)(-1200) = 8100$

$x_1 = \frac{-150 + \sqrt{8100}}{-6}$

$x_2 = \frac{-150 - \sqrt{8100}}{-6} = 40$

He needs to charge $40 to break even.

For a profit of $600, we have that P(x) = 600, hence:

-3x² + 150x - 1200 = 600.

-3x² + 150x - 1800 = 0.

The coefficients are a = -3, b = 150, c = -1800, hence:

$\Delta = 150^2 - 4(-3)(-1800) = 900$

$x_1 = \frac{-150 + \sqrt{900}}{-6}$

$x_2 = \frac{-150 - \sqrt{900}}{-6} = 30$

He needs to charge $30 for a profit of $600.
