For this case we have the following equation:
 f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
 Deriving we have:
 f '(x) = 2x + b
 We match zero:
 0 = 2x + b
 We clear x:
 x = -b / 2
 The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
 x = -b / 2 = 8
 Clearing b:
 b = -2 * (8)
 b = -16
 Answer:
 
the value of b is:
 
b = -16

A pizza had 9/10 left before Lucas ate 4/5 of the pizza. How much pizza is left over
Norma-Jean [14]
1/10 is left.

Explanation:

First we need to find a common denominator. Since 5×2=10, if we multiply 4/5 by 2/2, we will be able to subtract that from 9/10.

4/5×2/2= 8/10. Then if we subtract that from the 9/10 left of the pizza, we get 1/10, the amount remaining.

Hope this helps :)

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

5x + 32 < 50

Step-by-step explanation:

On a particular airline, bags checked in must weigh less than 50 pounds. Betty packed 32 pounds of clothes and five gifts that weigh the same amount.

If each gift weighs w pounds, then the weight of five gifts will be 5w pounds and an additional 32 pounds of clothes will make it total (32 + 5w) pounds.  

Now, this total weight has to be less than 50 pounds.

Therefore, the inequality equation that can be used to find the possible weight of each gift, w is  

5x + 32 < 50 (Answer)
