Answer: 40 pounds of cashews should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the​ revenue

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews that should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the​ revenue.

The nut store normally sells cashews for​ $4.00 per pound and peanuts for​ $1.50 per pound.

In order to sell 60 pounds of​ peanuts, the manager decided to mix the 60 pounds of peanuts with some cashews and sell the mixture for $2.50 per pound. It means that

4x + (1.5 × 60) = 2.5(60 + x)

4x + 90 = 150 + 2.5x

4x - 2.5x = 150 - 90

1.5x = 60

x = 60/1.5

x = 40

Consider the quadratic equation x2 − 6x = 16.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

  1. C) (x − 3)2 = 25
  2. C) Factor out 4 from 4x2 + 40x.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation will "complete the square." That square is 9, so the result on the right is 16+9 = 25. Only selection C matches.

___

2. To complete the square, you want to be able to put the quadratic into the form a(x -h)^2 = -k. For the purpose, it is most convenient to first factor "a" from the given quadratic. Then you can determine "-h" to be half the x-coefficient inside the parentheses.

Here, that looks like ...

  4(x² +10x) = 80 . . . . . . . . . . step 1: factor out 4

  4(x² +10x +25) = 180 . . . . . add 25 inside parentheses and the same number (4·25) on the right side of the equation

  4(x +5)² = 180 . . . . . . . . . . . written as a square

What are the x-intercepts of a parabola with a vertex of (-1,-16) and a y-intercept of (0,-15)?
Svetlanka [38]
The vertex-form equation is
  y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
  -15 = a(0+1)² -16
  1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16

Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
  0 = (x+1)² -16
  16 = (x+1)²
  ±4 = x+1
  x = -1 ± 4 = {-5, 3}
