Consider the function f(x)=2x^2-8x+5.

Mathematics

GarryVolchara [31]4 years ago

This is called completing the square. 


f(x) = 2x^2 - 8x + 5 
<span>
f(x) = 2(x^2 - 4x) + 5 </span>
<span>
f(x) = 2[(x-2)^2 - 4] + 5 </span>
<span>
f(x) = 2(x-2)^2 - 8 + 5 </span>
<span>
f(x) = 2(x-2)^2 - 3 </span>


f(x) is at a minimum when (x-2) = 0, therefore x = 2 
<span>
f(2) = 2(2-2)^2 - 3 </span>
<span>
f(2) = -3

58% of what number is 29
Mandarinka [93]

Method 1:

p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\58\%=\dfrac{58}{100}=0.58\\\\n-a\ number\\\\0.58n=29\ \ \ \ |:0.58\\\\\boxed{n=50}

Method 2:

\begin{array}{ccc}58\%&-&29\\100\%&-&n\end{array}\ \ \ \ \text{cross multiply}\\\\58n=2900\ \ \ \ |:58\\\\\boxed{n=50}

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $16
Trava [24]
We can write two equations for this. x = each minute of calls

Plan A = .1x + 16
Plan B = .14x

Make the two equations equal each other, so we can find when they are the same.

.1x + 16 = .14x

Subtract .1x from both sides

16 = 0.04x

Divide by 0.04 to get x by itself

400 = x.

Earlier, we set x as each minute of calls. This means that after 400 calls, Plan A and Plan B will cost the same.

To find the cost, substitute 400 into both equations by themselves.

Plan A cost = .1x + 16
Plan A cost = .1(400) + 16
Plan A cost = 40 + 16
Plan A cost = $56

Plan B cost = .14x
Plan B cost = .14(400)
Plan B cost =  $56

Final answer: After 400 calls, Plan A and Plan B will both cost $56.
