Anytime you multiply a whole number by a fraction or decimal, you have to make the fraction and decimal increase its value. So 1/4 can be translated into .25 and 5 x .25 is 1.25. 5 x 4 is 20. Since 5 and 4 are both whole numbers, the answer is increased by both.

5x4 = 20
5x1/4 = 5/4 or = 1.25

so 20 > 1.25 then 5x4 is greater than 5x1/4

A parabola has vertex (2, 3) and contains the point (0, 0). find an equation that represents this parabola.

AfilCa [17]

First write it in vertex form :-

y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3 where a is some constant.

We can find the value of a by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-

0 = a((-2)^2 + 3

4a = -3

a = -3/4

so our equation becomes y = (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3

Expand and simplify (6x-2)^2

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

$\sf 36x^2 -24x +4$

solving step wise:

$\sf (6x-2)^2$

$\sf (6x-2)(6x-2)$

$\sf 36x^2 -12x -12x +4$

$\sf 36x^2 -24x +4$

$\sf (6x-2)^2$

$\sf (6x)^2 +2*6x*-2+(-2)^2$

$36x^2 -24x +4$

The Cool Company determines that the supply function for its basic air conditioning unit is S(p) = 10 + 0.002p3 and that its dem

Radda [10]

Answer: At $21.85, the supply will equal to demand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Demand function is given by

$D(p) = 50 - 0.04p^2, \text{where p is the price.}$

Supply function is given by

$S(p) = 10 + 0.002p^3$

According to question, we need to find the price for which the supply equals the demand, i.e. Equilibrium price and quantity.

$D(p)=S(p)\\\\50-0.04p^2=10+0.002p^3\\\\50-10=0.002p^3+0.04p^2\\\\40=\frac{2}{1000}p^3+\frac{4}{100}p^2\\\\40=\frac{2}{100}p^2(\frac{1}{10}p+2)\\\\\frac{40\times 100}{2}=p^2(\frac{1p+20}{2})\\\\\mathrm{The\:Newton-Raphson\:method\:uses\:an\:iterative\:process\:to\:approach\:one\:root\:of\:a\:function}\\\\p\approx \:21.85861\dots$
