George's page contains twice as many typed words as Bill's page and Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page. If

each person can type 70 words per minute, after one minute, the difference between twice the number of words on Bill's page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 220. How many words did Bill's page contain initially?

Given:
George<span>'s page contains twice as many typed words as Bill's page
</span><span>Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page
</span><span>each person can type 70 words per minute, after one minute, the difference between twice the number of words on Bill's page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 220

Let Charlie's page be x.
Let Bill's page be x - 50
Let George's page be 2(x-50)

After 1 minute:
Charlie's page: x + 70
Bill's page: x - 50 + 70
George's page: 2(x-50) + 70

Difference between George's page and Charlie's page is 220.

[2(x-50) + 70] - (x + 70) = 220
2x - 100 + 70 - x - 70 = 220
2x - x - 100 + 70 - 70 = 220
x - 100 = 220
x = 220 + 100
x = 320

</span>Let Charlie's page be x. → x = 320
Let Bill's page be x - 50 → x - 50 = 320 - 50 = 270
Let George's page be 2(x-50) → 2(x-50) = 2(320-50) = 2(270) = 540 

<span>Bill's page initially contained 270 words. </span>

Can someone please help me with this question? Thanks.
forsale [732]

Answer:

f(x) = 3 + 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can see a simple pattern whereas x increases by 1, y is increasing by 5.

This means that f(0) = 3.

And to create the function, we simply use f(0) summed with the increasing 5 multiplied by the input x.

Hence, we will create the function equation:

f(x) = 3 + 5x

Cheers.

Write a quadratic function to model the graph to the right.
liq [111]

Answer:

f(x) = (x - 2)² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the quadratic function is:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where:

(h, k) = vertex

The axis of symmetry is the imaginary vertical line where x = h

<em>a</em> = determines whether the graph opens up or down, and how wide or narrow the graph will be.

<em>h</em> = determines the horizontal translation of the parabola.

<em>k</em> = determines the vertical translation of the graph.

Given the vertex occurring at point (2, 2), along with one of the points on the graph, (4, 6):

Substitute these values into the vertex form of the quadratic function:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

6 = a(4 - 2)² + 2

6 = a(2)² + 2

6 = 4a + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

6 - 2 = 4a + 2 - 2

4 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4:

4/4 = 4a/4

1 = a

Therefore, the quadratic function in vertex form is: f(x) = (x - 2)² + 2
