Answer:

  Minimum at (2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the leading coefficient from the first two terms:

  f(x) = 2(x^2 -4x) +6

Inside parentheses, add the square of half the x-coefficient. Add the opposite of that amount outside parentheses.

  f(x) = 2(x^2 -4x +4) +6 -8

Rewrite in vertex form.

  f(x) = 2(x -2)^2 -2

The positive leading coefficient tells you the vertex is a <em>minimum</em>. Comparing this to the vertex form for a quadratic with vertex (h, k)

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k

we find the <em>vertex</em> to be ...

  (h, k) = (2, -2)

The function has a minimum at (2, -2).

Nick,Sarah and Gavyn share some sweets on the ratio 6:2:1. Nick gets 30 more sweets than Gavyn. How many sweets does Sarah get?​
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

N:S:G

6:2:1

Nick gets 30 more sweets than Gavyn, therefore we can say that.

6x=x+30\\5x=30\\x=6

As Sarah gets twice the amount of sweets that Gavyn does.

2(6)=12

Two boxes contained 155 lb of flour. If you take 20 lb from the first and add it to the second, the first box will contain 12 19
gladu [14]

Answer:

First and second box had 80 and 75 lb flour originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two boxes contained x lb and y lb of the flour respectively.

Both the boxes contained 155 lb of flour in total.

So the first equation will be,

x + y = 155 --------(1)

If the 20 lb of the flour is taken out then amount of flour in first box = (x - 20) lb

and added to the second box then flour in second box = (y + 20) lb

After the mixing of flour statement says that "the first box will contain \frac{12}{19} of the flour now in the second box."

For this statement equation will be

(x-20)=\frac{12}{19}(y+20)

19(x - 20) = 12(y + 20)

19x - 12y = 380 + 240

19x - 12y = 620 ------(2)

Equation (1) × 12 + equation (2)

12(x + y) + (19x - 12y) = 155×12 + 620

31x = 1860 + 620

31x = 2480

x = \frac{2480}{31}

x = 80 lb

from equation (1)

80 + y = 155

y = 155 - 80

y = 75 lb.

Therefore, first and second boxes had 80 lb and 75 lb of flour originally.

alex41 [277]
It would be between 11 and 12 because 11 times 11 = 121 and that is smaller than 123. Also 12 times 12 is 144 and 12 a whole number.

If a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 28 inches how many revolutions does it take to travel 3 miles
KatRina [158]
The circumference of the tire would be: 28 x PI = 87.96 inches = 88 inches.

88 inches / 12 inches = 7.33 feet

Every revolution the tire would travel 7.33 feet.

1 mile = 5,280 feet

3 miles = 5280 x 3 = 15,840 feet total.

Divide total feet by the circumference of the tire:

15,840 / 7.33 = 2,161 revolutions.

Answer:

  (a)  8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the distance (in kilometers) Michelle has walked. Then Janet walked a distance of (m-2). These distances are at right angles, so the distance between them can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  m² +(m -2)² = 10²

  m² +m² -4m +4 = 100

  2m² -4m = 96 . . . . . . subtract 4, collect terms

  m² -2m +1 = 49 . . . . . divide by 2 and add 1

  (m -1)² = 7² . . . . . . .write as squares

  m -1 = 7 . . . . . . positive square root

  m = 8

Michelle walked 8 km.
