Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Given

y = 2x² - 8x + 9

The coefficient of the x² term must be 1, so factor out 2 from 2x² - 8x

y = 2(x² - 4x) + 9

To complete the square

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 4x

y = 2(x² + (- 2)x + 4 - 4) + 9

= 2(x - 2)² - 8 + 9

= 2(x - 2)² + 1 → C

Solve for x and Y using the angles shown, please helppp

inna [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the vertical angles and supplementary angles.

Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore we have the equation:

$(1)\qquad14x+4=4y-8$

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. Therefore we have the equation:

$(2)\qquad(16x-4)+(14x+4)=180$

Solve (2):

$(16x-4)+(14x+4)=180\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\(16x+14x)+(-4+4)=180\\30x=180\qquad\text{divide both sides by 30}\\x=6$

Put the value of x to (1) and sole:

$4y-8=14(6)+4\\4y-8=84+4\\4y-8=88\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\4y=96\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\y=24$

It takes 18 electricians 35 days to wire a new housing subdivision. How many days would 28 electricians require to do the same j

Rus_ich [418]

Assuming one electrician-day is the same as another, the total job is ...

... (18 electricians)×(35 days) = 630 electrician·days

When that work is split among 28 electricians, it can be expected to take ...

... (630 electrician·days)/(28 electricians) = 22.5 days

Which of the following inequalities represents all values of X for which the quotient below is defined?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$x \ge 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\sqrt{6(x - 1)} \div \sqrt{3x^2$

Required

x for $which$ the function is $de fi ned$

To do this, we set the numerator root $\ge 0$

So, we have:

$6(x - 1) \ge 0$

Divide by 6

$(x - 1) \ge 0$

Solve for x

$x \ge 1$

Also, we set the denominator greater than 0:

$3x^2 > 0$

Divide by 3

$x^2 > 0$

Take square roots

$x > 0$

So, we have:

$x > 0$ and $x \ge 1$

Combine both to give:

$x \ge 1$
