Estimate the quotient for 49 / 311

2 answers:

7 0

If you’re estimating, you’d usually round the numbers and proceed.
49 would round up to 50.
311 would round down to 300.
300 / 50 = 6.
(Unless you were doing 50 / 300, which would be -0.166666...)

Hope that helped! :)

To get a close estimate, we can round 49 up to 50 and 311 down to 300, obtaining an estimate of 50/300 = 1/6, or 0.1666... as a repeating decimal. That decimal approximation is a little less than one hundredth away from the actual decimal approximation of ≈ 0.1576

Which inequality in standard form represents the shaded region?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The figure is represented by the inequality y ≥ 5 · x² - 40 · x - 45. (Correct choice: C)

<h3>What inequality represents the figure</h3>

In accordance with the figure, we have an inequation of the form y ≥ f(x). Now we proceed to find the quadratic equation of the parabola:

f(x) = a · (x + 1) · (x - 9)

- 125 = a · (4 + 1) · (4 - 9)

- 125 = a · 5 · (- 5)

- 125 = - 25 · a

a = - 5

f(x) = 5 · (x + 1) · (x - 9)

f(x) = 5 · (x² - 8 · x - 9)

f(x) = 5 · x² - 40 · x - 45

The figure is represented by the inequality y ≥ 5 · x² - 40 · x - 45. (Correct choice: C)

The area of a rectangle is 63m^2 and the length of the rectangle is 11m more than twice the width. Find the length and width.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

width = 3.5 m

length = 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area = length x width

x is the width then length = 2x + 11

x(2x + 11) = 63

2x^2 + 11x - 63 = 0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

with a = 2

b = 11

c = -63

substitute in the formula

x = [-11 +/- √(11^2 - 4(2)(-63))]2(2)

x = [-11 +/- √(121 + 504)]/4

x = [-11 +/- √625]/4

x = (-11 +/- 25)/4

x1 = (-11 + 25)/4 = 14/4 = 3.5

x2 = (-11 - 25)/4 = -36/4 = -9

since width can't be a negative number, x is 3.5

length = 2x + 11 = 2(3.5) + 11 = 18

Given the quadratic equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%202%28x%20-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%2B%208" id="TexFormula1" tit

Answer:

Part 1) "a" value is $2$

Part 2) The vertex is the point $(1,8)$

Part 3) The equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=1$

Part 4) The vertex is a minimum

Part 5) The quadratic equation in standard form is $y=2x^{2}-4x+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

if a > 0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a < 0 then the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=h$

In this problem we have

$y=2(x-1)^{2}+8$ -----> this is the equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola

The value of $a=2$

a>0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

The vertex is the point $(1,8)$

$(h,k)=(1,8)$

The equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=1$

The equation of a vertical parabola in standard form is equal to

$y=ax^{2}+bx+c$

Convert vertex form in standard form

$y=2(x-1)^{2}+8$

$y=2(x^{2}-2x+1)+8$

$y=2x^{2}-4x+2+8$

$y=2x^{2}-4x+10$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
