This might not be super helpful but it’s either 50 or 130. Sorry i haven’t done this for a while!!
Below is the solution:
There are two equations to be solved here. The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8
One form of the equation of a parabola is
y = ax² + bx + c
The curve passes through (0,-6), (-1,-12) and (3,0). Therefore
c = - 6 (1)
a - b + c = -12 (2)
9a + 3b + c = 0 (3)
Substitute (1) into (2) and into (3).
a - b -6 = -12
a - b = -6 (4)
9a + 3b - 6 = 0
9a + 3b = 6 (5)
Substitute a = b - 6 from (4) into (5).
9(b - 6) + 3b = 6
12b - 54 = 6
12b = 60
b = 5
a = b - 6 = -1
The equation is
y = -x² + 5x - 6
Let us use completing the square to write the equation in standard form for a parabola.
y = -[x² - 5x] - 6
= -[ (x - 2.5)² - 2.5²] - 6
= -(x - 2.5)² + 6.25 - 6
y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
This is the standdard form of the equation for the parabola.
The vertex us at (2.5, 0.25).
The axis of symmetry is x = 2.5
Because the leading coefficient is -1 (negative), the curve opens downward.
The graph is shown below.
Answer: y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
Start by distributing the 6 through the parenthses on the left side.
So we have 6x + 24 = 30.
Solving from here, I would subtract 24 from both sides to get 6x = 6.
Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we have x = 1.
The next terms in the sequence will be multiplied by c, but the common ratio is still the same
example :
S = [1(3)^4 - 1]/ [3-1] = 80/2 - 40
Hope this helps
