Find the sum of the constants a, h, and k such that

Mathematics

ra1l [238]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of "a" is the coefficient of x^2, so we know that is 2.

__

<u>Solve for h</u>

Now, we have ...

  2x^2 -8x +7 = 2(x -h)^2 +k

Expanding the right side gives us ...

  = 2(x^2 -2hx +h^2) +k

  = 2x^2 -4hx +2h^2 +k

Comparing x-terms, we see ...

  -4hx = -8x

  h = (-8x)/(-4x) = 2

__

<u>Solve for k</u>

Now, we're left with ...

  2h^2 +k = 7 = 2(2^2) +k = 8 +k

Subtracting 8 we find k to be ...

  k = 7 -8 = -1

__

And the sum of constants a, h, and k is ...

  a +h +k = 2 +2 -1 = 3

The sum of the constants is 3.

A theme park had 1099 visitors in 3 days.There were twice as many visitors on saturday than on Friday.There were 234 more visito
Blababa [14]

Answer: there were 692 visitors on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of visitors that were there on Friday.

Let y represent the number of visitors that were there on Saturday.

Let z represent the number of visitors that were there on Sunday.

The theme park had 1099 visitors in 3 days. It means that

x + y + z = 1099- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

There were twice as many visitors on saturday than on Friday. This means that

y = 2x

x = y/2

There were 234 more visitors on Sunday than on Saturday. This means that

z = y + 234

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 234 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 234 = 1099

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 468 = 2198

5y = 2198 - 468

5y = 1730

x = 1730/5

x = 346

y = 2x = 2 × 346

y = 692

z = y + 234 = 692 + 234

z = 926

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3 . If there was 40 red cars , how many blue cars were there ?
Bas_tet [7]
The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
