Ok 
First factor out the first 2 terms as follows:-

y  = 1/2(x^2 - 8x) + 21

Now complete the square on x^2 - 8x:-

y = 1/2[ (x - 4)^2 - 16] + 21

y = 1/2(x - 4)^2 - 8 + 21

y = 1/2(x - 4)^2 + 13   Answer

#23-6: The pool concession stand made $5,800 in June and $6,300 in July. What is the percent of increase in sales? Round the ans
katrin [286]

Answer:

8.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent change, you will need to compute the positive difference and then divide the difference by the original (the older amount).

So the positive difference will be obtain by doing larger minus smaller:

 6300

- 5800

-----------

   500

The older amount was 5800.

So 500/5800 is the answer as a un-reduced fraction.

I'm going to reduce it by dividing top and bottom by 100:

500/5800  = 5/58

5/58 is the answer as a reduced fraction.

5 divided by 58 gives=0.086206897  in the calculator .

Approximately 0.0862 is the answer as a decimal.

To convert this to a percentage, multiply it by a 100:

8.62%

Rounded to the nearest tenths is 8.6%

-------------

So 5800+5800(.0862) should be pretty close to 6300 (not exactly though since we rounded).

5800+5800(.0862)=6299.96 using the calculator.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

40x- 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 4 times 10x is 40x and 4 times 4 is 16 so the answer is 40x-16

Answers: 
33. Angle R is 68 degrees
35. The fraction 21/2 or the decimal 10.5
36. Triangle ACG
37. Segment AB
38. The values are x = 6; y = 2
40. The value of x is x = 29
41. C) 108 degrees
42. The value of x is x = 70
43. The segment WY is 24 units long
------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Problem 33) 
RS = ST, means that the vertex angle is at angle S
Angle S = 44
Angle R = x, angle T = x are the base angles
R+S+T = 180
x+44+x = 180
2x+44 = 180
2x+44-44 = 180-44
2x = 136
2x/2 = 136/2
x = 68
So angle R is 68 degrees
-----------------
Problem 35) 
Angle A = angle H
Angle B = angle I
Angle C = angle J
A = 97
B = 4x+4
C = J = 37
A+B+C = 180
97+4x+4+37 = 180
4x+138 = 180
4x+138-138 = 180-138
4x = 42
4x/4 = 42/4
x = 21/2
x = 10.5
-----------------
Problem 36) 
GD is the median of triangle ACG. It stretches from the vertex G to point D. Point D is the midpoint of segment AC
-----------------
Problem 37)
Segment AB is an altitude of triangle ACG. It is perpendicular to line CG (extend out segment CG) and it goes through vertex A.
-----------------
Problem 38) 
triangle LMN = triangle PQR
LM = PQ
MN = QR
LN = PR
Since LM = PQ, we can say 2x+3 = 5x-15. Let's solve for x
2x+3 = 5x-15
2x-5x = -15-3
-3x = -18
x = -18/(-3)
x = 6
Similarly, MN = QR, so 9 = 3y+3
Solve for y
9 = 3y+3
3y+3 = 9
3y+3-3 = 9-3
3y = 6
3y/3 = 6/3
y = 2
-----------------
Problem 40) 
The remote interior angles (2x and 21) add up to the exterior angle (3x-8)
2x+21 = 3x-8
2x-3x = -8-21
-x = -29
x = 29
-----------------
Problem 41) 
For any quadrilateral, the four angles always add to 360 degrees
J+K+L+M = 360
3x+45+2x+45 = 360
5x+90 = 360
5x+90-90 = 360-90
5x = 270
5x/5 = 270/5
x = 54
Use this to find L
L = 2x
L = 2*54
L = 108
-----------------
Problem 42) 
The adjacent or consecutive angles are supplementary. They add to 180 degrees
K+N = 180
2x+40 = 180
2x+40-40 = 180-40
2x = 140
2x/2 = 140/2
x = 70
-----------------
Problem 43) 
All sides of the rhombus are congruent, so WX = WZ.
Triangle WPZ is a right triangle (right angle at point P).
Use the pythagorean theorem to find PW
a^2+b^2 = c^2
(PW)^2+(PZ)^2 = (WZ)^2
(PW)^2+256 = 400
(PW)^2+256-256 = 400-256
(PW)^2 = 144
PW = sqrt(144)
PW = 12
WY = 2*PW
WY = 2*12
WY = 24
