5:3....added = 8

5/8(144) = 720/8 = 90 adults
3/8(144) = 432/8 = 54 children

Complete the square than convert to vertex form. y=2x^2+8x-9

8_murik_8 [283]

$y=2x^2+8x-9\\D=b^2-4ac\\D=64-4(2)(-9)\\D=64+72 > 0$

There are 2 roots so the only way to complete the square is,

$y=2x^2+8x-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x)]-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x+4)-4]-9\\y=2[(x+2)^2-4]-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-8-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-17$

Just factor 2 out of 2x^2+8x (just ignore the -9) then find the number that will make the terms be able to complete the square.

then complete the square and multiply 2 inside the brackets.

subtraction as you already get the vertex form and know how to complete the square.

Vertex Form: $y=2(x+2)^2-17$

Find the mean 35 40 12 16 25 10

ruslelena [56]

Answer: Mean = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

35, 40, 12, 16, 25, 10

Given formula:

$Mean~=~\frac{Sum~of~terms}{Number~of~terms}$

Substitute values into the formula

$Mean~=~\frac{35~+~40~+~12~+~16~+~25~+~10}{6}$

Combine like terms

$Mean~=~\frac{75~+~28~+~35}{6}$

$Mean~=~\frac{103~+~35}{6}$

$Mean~=~\frac{138}{6}$

Simplify the fraction

$\Large\boxed{Mean=23}$

Hope this helps!! :)
