<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The maximum number of watches that Samantha come by with her savings is </em><em>10</em><em>.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

The amount of money Samantha has in her savings account = $1150

She wants to buy shirts and watches.

Cost of one shirt = $84

Cost of each watch = $99

Let she can buy maximum of x watches, so the net price of the watches is $99x.

Then,

$\Rightarrow 99x+84=1150\\\\\Rightarrow 99x=1150-84\\\\\Rightarrow 99x=1066\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1066}{99}\\\\\Rightarrow x=10.77$

As the number of watches can not be in fraction, so at most she can buy 10 watches.

If 9 pizzas cost $67.50 that means that 1 pizza costs 67.50/9 = $7.5

Answer A is incorrect because of false prize of pizza.

B isn't correct because 1 pizza cost $7,5 and not 7,5 pizzas cost $1

C isn't answer because of both reasons from answer A and answer B

D is the answer because it says that you need to pay $7.5 per pizza.

Which equation is y = –6x^2 + 3x + 2 rewritten in vertex form? y = negative 6 (x minus 1) squared + 8 y = negative 6 (x + one-fo

mart [117]

Answer:

$y = -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2 -\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y = -6x^2 + 3x + 2$

Required

Rewrite in vertex form

The vertex form of an equation is in form of: $y = a(x - h)^2+ k$

Solving: $y = -6x^2 + 3x + 2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$y - 2 = -6x^2 + 3x + 2 - 2$

$y - 2 = -6x^2 + 3x$

Factorize expression on the right hand side by dividing through by the coefficient of x²

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

$y - 2 = -6(x^2 - \frac{3x}{6})$

$y - 2 = -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2})$

Get a perfect square of coefficient of x; then add to both sides

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

<em>Rough work</em>

The coefficient of x is $\frac{-1}{2}$

It's square is $(\frac{-1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}$

Adding inside the bracket of $-6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2})$ to give: $-6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

To balance the equation, the same expression must be added to the other side of the equation;

Equivalent expression is: $-6(\frac{1}{4})$

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

The expression becomes

$y - 2 -6(\frac{1}{4})= -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

$y - 2 -\frac{6}{4}= -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

$y - 2 -\frac{3}{2}= -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

Factorize the expression on the right hand side

$y - 2 -\frac{3}{2}= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y - (2 +\frac{3}{2})= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y - (\frac{4+3}{2})= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y - (\frac{7}{2})= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y +\frac{7}{2} = -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

Make y the subject of formula

$y = -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2 -\frac{7}{2}$
