The quotient of 8 and h is written as 8/h
Answer: -8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying a positive and a negative equals negative: (+)•(-)=(-)
y= - 2/3•4
Y= -8/3
The intercepts and the graph on your worksheet are not correct. Please see below for details:
has solutions at x=-1 and x=3 (use the quadratic formula to solve). That means these are the x-intercepts, namely points:
(-1,0) and (3,0).
The y-intercept comes from setting x=0 and calculating the y value:
so the y-intercept is (0,-3).
Now to the graph: Based on the form of the function we can see this is a quadratic function and its graph will be a parabola. You can reformat the expression in the following form
and that will indicate that the apex of the parabola (open up) will be at the point (1,-4).
Knowing the apex, the x intercepts, and the y intercept, we can graph it now.
Graph is in the image attached.
Do 5 divided by 8 to get 0.625 feet of shadow per foot of the height of the tree, which is your answer
◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
