Answer:

Minimum value occurs at (x, y) = (-5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 3x + y =15

Rewriting this equation to Slope - Intercept form, we get:

y = -3x + 15

Squaring both sides,

$ y^2 = (-3x + 15)^2 $

$ \implies y^2 = 9x^2 - 90x + 225 $

Substituting in $ x^2 + y^2,$ we get:

$ x^2 + 9x^2 - 90x + 225 $

= $ 10x^2 - 90x + 225 $

Comparing this equation with $ ax^2 + bx + c $ we get $ a =10 $ and $ b = - 90 $.

The minimum value occurs at the axis of symmetry given by $ x = \frac{-b}{2a} $.

Therefore, x = - $ \frac{-90}{2.10} $

$ \implies x = 5 $

If x = 5, y = -3(5) + 15 = 0

Thus, the point becomes (5,0) where it is minimum.

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate: R(0,_), S(-4,2) m=5
Delicious77 [7]

Answer

The missing value is 22

step-by-step explanation

The slope formula is

m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

From the question,

m=5

x_2=-4

y_2=2

and

x_1=0

We substitute these values to get,

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4- 0}

Simplify

5=  \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4}

5 \times  - 4=2 - y_1

- 20=2 - y_1

- 20 - 2=- y_1

22= y_1

y_1 = 22

The missing value is 22

Joel wants to buy a new tablet computer from a store having a 20% off sale on all tablets. The tablet he wants has an original c
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

<u>Joel will have to pay $ 159.60 for the tablet.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Discount percentage of the tablets = 20%

Original cost of the tablet = $ 190

Sales tax = 5%

2. How much will Joel pay for the tablet? Show your work in your notebook. Remember to use $.

Let's find the discounted price and the sales tax for that price, this way:

Discounted price = Original price - Discount

Discounted price = 190 - (190 * 0.2)

Discounted price = 190 - 38 = 152

Sales tax of the discounted price = 152 * 0.05

Sales tax = 7.60

Joel will have to pay = Discounted price + Sales tax

Joel will have to pay = 152 + 7.60

<u>Joel will have to pay = $ 159.60</u>
