Fifteen more than half a number is 9?

1 answer:

6 0

That in algebraic form would be $\frac{1}{2}n + 15 = 9$

Subtract 15 to both sids and you get
$\frac{1}{2}n = -6$

Multiply 2 on both sides and you get
n = -12

A rectangle has an area of 0.24 of a square. What are some possibility for the length and width of the rectangle? Tell why

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The possibilities of length and width of the rectangle are </h3><h3>x=1, y=0.24;</h3><h3>x=0.5, y=0.48;</h3><h3>x=0.25, y=0.96;</h3><h3>x=2, y=0.12</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area is 0.24 square meter

The area of a rectangle is given by

$Area=length\times width$ square units

Let x be the length and y be the width.

Since the area is 0.24 square meter, we have the equation:

$Area=x\times y = 0.24$ , with x and y measures in meters

If we want to know some possibilities of x and y, we can assume a value for one of them, and then calculate the other one using the equation.

Now choosing some values for "x", we have:

Put x = 1

$1\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.24

Now put x = 0.5 we get

$0.5\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.48

Put x = 0.25

$0.25\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.96

Put x = 2

$2\times y = 0.24$

∴ y = 0.12

A quadratic function is a function of the form y=ax^2+bx+c where a, b, and c are constants. Given any 3 points in the plane, the

pochemuha

Answer:

The quadratic function whose graph contains these points is $y=-x^{2}-2x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a quadratic function is a function of the form $y=ax^{2}+bx+c$ . The first step is use the 3 points given to write 3 equations to find the values of the constants <em>a</em>,<em>b</em>, and <em>c</em>.

Substitute the points (0,-2), (-5,-17), and (3,-17) into the general form of a quadratic function.

$-2=a*0^{2}+b*0+c\\c=-2$

$-17=a*-5^{2}+b*-5+c\\c=-25a+5b-17$

$-17=a*3^{2}+b*3+c\\ c=-9a-3b-17$

We can solve these system of equations by substitution

Substitute $c=-9a-3b-17$

$-9a-3b-17=25a+5b-17\\-9a-3b-17=-2$

Isolate a for the first equation

$-9a-3b-17=-25a+5b-17\\a=\frac{b}{2}$

Substitute $a=\frac{b}{2}$ into the second equation

$-9\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)-3b-17=-2$

Find the value of b

$-9\left(-\frac{4b}{17}\right)-3b-17=-2\\ b=-2$

Find the value of a

$a=\frac{b}{2}\\ a=-1$

The solutions to the system of equations are:

b=-2,a=-1,c=-2

So the quadratic function whose graph contains these points is

$y=-x^{2}-2x-2$

As you can corroborate with the graph of this function.

What is the factored form of n2 – 25? (n – 25)(n – 1) (n – 5)(n + 5) (n + 5)(n + 5) (n – 25)(n + 1)

dexar [7]

Hi there!
We are asked to find the correct factored form of n² - 25. Immediately, we can see that 25 has a perfect square root, 5. Now, we can rewrite the expression into n² - 5². Finally, using the difference of squares rule, we can derive the equation (n + 5)(n - 5). Therefore, the answer is (n + 5)(n - 5). Hope this helped!
