Alright, lets get started.

$y = x^2 + 14 x - 40$

For making complete square, we will add and subtract 49 in this

$y = x^2 + 14 x - 40 + 49 - 49$

$y = x^2 + 14 x + 49 -40 - 49$

$y = (x+7)^2 - 40 - 49$

$y = (x+7)^2 - 89$

Comparing the standard equation of parabola

$y = a (x-h)^2 + k$ where (h,k) are vertex

So, comparing the equation with standard one, h, k would be = (-7 , -89)

So, the vertex are (-7 , -89) : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Which of the following scores has the better relative position ( as measured by the z score) a. A score of 53 on a test for whic

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

d. Cannot be determined with the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Finding the better relative position:

The score with the better relative position is the one with a higher z-score.

To find the z-score, the mean and the standard deviation is needed, and in this question, the standard deviation is not given, and thus, the correct answer is given by option d.

Susan makes 5 fruit cups for the picnic. In each cup, she has 5 strawberries and 3 kiwi. Joanna uses the same number of total fr

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Susan makes 5 fruit cups

each fruit cup has 5 strawberries and 3 kiwis

so the number of strawberries used is - 5 x 5 = 25 strawberries

and the number of kiwis used - 5 x 3 = 15 kiwis

so the total number of fruits - 25 + 15 = 40 fruits

Joanna uses 40 fruits to make 4 fruit cups

each cup she uses 8 strawberries

therefore total number of strawberries she uses - 8x 4 = 32 strawberries

she has 40 fruits in total and 32 of those are strawberries

the rest are kiwis

number of kiwis = 40 -32 = 8

8 kiwis are there and she has to make 4 cups

so for each cup number of kiwis = 8 / 4 = 2

so each cup has 2 kiwis

You want to calculate the value of your car each year when it depreciates by 15%. What does the term y mean in the exponential f

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Value of the car after x years

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are generally expressed in the form: $y=a(b)^x$ and since this function is decreasing, meaning it has an exponential decay, it can be expressed as: $y=a(1-r)^x$ where r=rate of decay.

In this case the a represents the initial value or y-intercept, since when x=0, (1-r)^0 = 1, so we just have y=a(1) or y=a

The r represents the rate of decay

the x usually represents the time in seconds, days, months, or whatever unit is being used

The y value represents the value of whatever your measuring, and in this context it represents the value of the car after x years.

This is because a represents the initial value

After one year it's only 85% worth it's initial value or 15% less which is represented as 0.85(a)

After two years it's only 85% worth the previous year or 15% less the previous year, which is represented as 0.85(0.85(a))

This will continue to decrease the number of years increase
