5 x 198=(5 x 200)-(5 x 2)=1000-10=990
Since 198=200-2, you can express the equation this way, and solve it easily in your head, instead of multiplying it out.

The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = –2x2 + 4x + 1 is the line x = 1. Where is the vertex of the function located?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola.  The first few steps are as follows.  Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex.  Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign.  The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out).  Let's start there.  The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:

-2x^2+4x=-1.  Now we factor out the -2:

-2(x^2-2x)=-1.  Now we complete the square.  This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 2x.  Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1.  We add 1 into the set of parenthesis.  But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2).  The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it.  Adding in to both sides looks like this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-1-2.  Simplifying gives us this:

-2(x^2-2x+1)=-3

On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex.  Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:

-2(x-1)^2+3=y

From this form,

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

you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)

X + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8

Using the concepts of marginal social benefit and marginal social cost, explain how the optimal combination of goods can be dete
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Optimal combination of goods can be determined in an economy that produces only two goods, with production of extra units of the two goods at a minimal marginal social cost. The consumption of the additional units of the two goods being produced will be benefitted by the consumers. This is known as marginal social benefit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal social cost is the change in society's total cost brought about by the production of an additional unit of a good or service. It includes both marginal private cost and marginal external cost.

Marginal social benefit is the change in benefits associated with the consumption of an additional unit of a good or service. It is measured by the amount people are willing to pay for the additional unit of a good or service.

1/3 + a + 5/4. what is A
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a = -1.58

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 +a+5/4 =0

1/3+5/4= -a

4+15/12 = -a

19/12 = -a

1.58= -a

1.58/-1 = -a/-1

-1.58 = a
