Answer:

The negative solution is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x² - 16 = 6x

Equate the equation to zero (0)

x² - 6x -16 = 0

Factorize

x² + 2x -8x - 16 = 0

x(x + 2) -8(x + 2) = 0

Therefore,

(x-8) (x +2) = 0

x -8 = 0         or           x +2 = 0

x = 8             or            x = -2

The negative solution is -2

The quadratic function fhas a vertex at (3,4) and opens upward. The quadratic function g is shown below.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the quadratic function having vertex at (3, 4) and opening upwards,

So the the minimum point of the function is (3, 4).

Therefore, minimum value of the function is 4 at x = 3.

y = (x - h)² + k [Here, (h, k) is the vertex]

g(x) = 2(x - 4)² + 3

Vertex of the parabola is (4, 3).

Since, leading coefficient is positive, parabola will open upwards.

Therefore, vertex will be the minimum point.

Minimum value of the function will be 3 at x = 4.

Minimum value of the function 'f' is greater than the minimum value of the function 'g'.

Option (C) will be the answer.

Answer:

They used 6 vans and 3 buses

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y= 9

13x + 40y= 198

x= 9 - y

13(9 - y) + 40y= 198

117 - 13y + 40y= 198

27y= 81

y= 3

9-3= 6
