can bobbie do to make the two equation equivalent?

If y+6=15, then y=9. (9+6)divided by 3 would be 5, not 15.

Describe the number of solutions for each system of equations graphed<br> below

abruzzese [7]

The solution of the system of equations means that following:
1- In case we are dealing with system of equations, the solution would be the point of intersection of the two graphs
2- In case we're dealing with only one equation, the solution would be the points of intersection of the graph with the x-axis

Graph (a):
The graph is for a system of equations (two lines). Therefore, the solution would be the point of intersection of the two lines.
From the graph, we can note that there is only one point of intersection between the two lines (-3,-1). Therefore, the system of equations has only one solution

Graph (b):
The graph is for a system of equations (two lines). Therefore, the solution would be the point of intersection of the two lines.
From the graph, we can note that the two lines are parallel. This means that they will never intersect. Therefore, the system of equations has no solutions

Graph (c):
The graph is for a single line. Therefore, the solution(s) would be the point(s) that make the overall equation equal to zero, i.e. point(s) of intersection with the x-axis.
From the graph, we can note that the line intersects with the x-axis only once at point (2,0). This means that the line has only one solution.

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following quantities are continuous?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

A. only II

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematics calculus differentiates things into discrete and continuous. Discrete things have indivisible units, the example will be how many dogs in a village. There is no half dog, it's either one, two, etc. But the distance covered by train can be written as half miles, it's divisible unit.

The number of books and bracelets also discrete, thus the answer is A.

The equation 2x2 − 12x + 1 = 0 is being rewritten in vertex form. Fill in the missing step. Given 2x2 − 12x + 1 = 0 Step 1 2(x2

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Part 1) $2(x-3)^{2}-17=0$ (the missing steps in the explanation)

Part 3) (8, 4); The vertex represents the maximum profit

Part 4) x = 3.58, 0.42

Part 5) x = 6, x = 44; The zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made

Part 6) 2(x − 7)2 + 118; x = $7

Part 7) The maximum height of the puck is 4 feet. −(x − 4)^2 + 6

Part 8) (x + 3)^2 − 4

Part 9) 2(x − 1)^2 = 4

Part 10) 8(x − 4)^2 + 592

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2x^{2} -12x+1=0$

Convert to vertex form

step 1

Factor the leading coefficient and complete the square

$2(x^{2} -6x)+1=0$

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)+1-18=0$

step 2

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)+1-18=0$

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)-17=0$

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x-3)^{2}-17=0$

Part 3) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+16x-60$

we know that

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Convert to vertex form

$f(x)+60=-x^{2}+16x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)+60=-(x^{2}-16x)$

Complete the squares

$f(x)+60-64=-(x^{2}-16x+64)$

$f(x)-4=-(x^{2}-16x+64)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-4=-(x-8)^{2}$

$f(x)=-(x-8)^{2}+4$

The vertex is the point (8,4)

The vertex represent the maximum profit

Part 4) Solve for x

we have

$-2(x-2)^{2}+5=0$

$-2(x-2)^{2}=-5$

$(x-2)^{2}=2.5$

square root both sides

$(x-2)=(+/-)1.58$

$x=2(+/-)1.58$

$x=2(+)1.58=3.58$

$x=2(-)1.58=0.42$

Part 5) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+50x-264$

we know that

The zeros or x-intercepts are the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

In this context the zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made

To find the zeros equate the function to zero

$-x^{2}+50x-264=0$

$-x^{2}+50x=264$

Factor -1 of the leading coefficient

$-(x^{2}-50x)=264$

Complete the squares

$-(x^{2}-50x+625)=264-625$

$-(x^{2}-50x+625)=-361$

$(x^{2}-50x+625)=361$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-25)^{2}=361$

square root both sides

$(x-25)=(+/-)19$

$x=25(+/-)19$

$x=25(+)19=44$

$x=25(-)19=6$

Part 6) we have

$-2x^{2}+28x+20$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Convert the equation into vertex form

Factor the leading coefficient

$-2(x^{2}-14x)+20$

Complete the square

$-2(x^{2}-14x+49)+20+98$

$-2(x^{2}-14x+49)+118$

Rewrite as perfect square

$-2(x-7)^{2}+118$

The vertex is the point (7,118)

therefore

The video game price that produces the highest weekly profit is x=$7

Part 7) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+8x-10$

Convert to vertex form

$f(x)+10=-x^{2}+8x$

Factor -1 the leading coefficient

$f(x)+10=-(x^{2}-8x)$

Complete the square

$f(x)+10-16=-(x^{2}-8x+16)$

$f(x)-6=-(x^{2}-8x+16)$

Rewrite as perfect square

$f(x)-6=-(x-4)^{2}$

$f(x)=-(x-4)^{2}+6$

The vertex is the point (4,6)

therefore

The maximum height of the puck is 4 feet.

Part 8) we have

$x^{2}+6x+5$

Convert to vertex form

Group terms

$(x^{2}+6x)+5$

Complete the square

$(x^{2}+6x+9)+5-9$

$(x^{2}+6x+9)-4$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+3)^{2}-4$

Part 9) we have

$2x^{2}-4x-2=0$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 2 the leading coefficient

$2(x^{2}-2x)-2=0$

Complete the square

$2(x^{2}-2x+1)-2-2=0$

$2(x^{2}-2x+1)-4=0$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x-1)^{2}-4=0$

$2(x-1)^{2}=4$

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

Part 10) we have

$8x^{2}-64x+720$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 8 the leading coefficient

$8(x^{2}-8x)+720$

Complete the square

$8(x^{2}-8x+16)+720-128$

$8(x^{2}-8x+16)+592$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$8(x-4)^{2}+592$

the vertex is the point (4,592)

The population has a minimum at x=4 years ( that is after 4 years since 1998 )
