The equation y=x^2-12x+45 models the number of books y sold in a bookstore x days after an award-winning author appeared at an a

Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.

To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.

You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45

Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.

X + 1 + X + 1 + X +1+ X +1 = 2X -3+ 2X -3+ X -1+ X -1
4x + 4 = 4x-6+2x-2
4x+4=6x-8
12=2x
6=x

Side lengths:
6-1=5
6+1=7
2(6)-3=9

Which of the following values would complete the ordered pair if the point is on the graph of f (x) = -3x + 2 ?
Scrat [10]

Answer: the y-coordinate that completes the point is 5.


Explanation:


An ordered pair (x, y) indicates the x-and-y coordinates of a general point, where x is the input value of a function and y is the output value.


The output value is y = f(x) and must be found applying the rule (function) to the given input value.


In this case the rulte is f(x) = - 3x + 2, and the input value, x,  is - 1 (the first value of the ordered pair).


This is the mathematical procedure:

  • x = - 1
  • f(x) = f (-1) = -3 (-1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5.
