The answer is C) (x - 1)2 = 0.5

The equation is
-9 + 12x - 6x² = 0
Multiply the following equation by (-1) on the both sides:
9 - 12x + 6x² =0

Now, we will use the method of completing the square:
ax² + bx + c = 0 ⇒ a(x + d)² + e = 0,
where d = b/2a, e = c - b² / 4a

The quadratic equation is: ax² + bx + c = 0
Our equation is: 6x² - 12x + 9 = 0
so in our equation a = 6, b = -12, c = 9

Now, let's replace it:
d = b/2a = -12/2*6 = -12/12 = -2
e = c - b² / 4a = 9 - (-12)²/4*6 = 9 - 144/24 = 9 - 6 = 3
a(x + d)² + e = 0,
6(x + (-1))² + 3 = 0
6(x - 1)² = 3
(x - 1)² = 3/6
(x - 1)² = 1/2
(x - 1)² = 0.5

How do you do this equation

RUDIKE [14]

When you solve, a quadratic formula is set up as ax^2+bx+c so in this scenario a is 1, b is -1 and c is -6.
-(-1)+- √- 1^2-4(1)(-1)/2(1) is
1+/-√1+4/2 equals -2 and 3 making the answer c

Karina uses the system of equations below to compare the monthly utility costs in July and December for electricity, x, and natu

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

d. The cost of natural gas (y) = $0.83 per unit

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation is shown below:-

the equation of system is:

750x + 17y = 141.61 (i)

300x + 30y =75.90 (ii)

as x indicates the cost of electricity and y indicates the costs of natural gas.

we will solve the both equation with the help of multiplication for (i) by 30 and for (ii) 75

$30\times (750x + 17y) 30\times 141.61\\\\$

after solve the above equation we will get

22,500x + 510y = 4248.3 (iii)

$75\times (330x + 30y) = 75\times 75.90$

after solve the above equation we will get

22500x + 2250y = 5692.5 (iv)

After deducting the equation (iii) and (iv) we will get

1740 y = 1444.2

After Dividing by 15 both sides,

116y = 96.28

So, Katrina simplify the above system using linear equation and reach at the equation that is

116 y = 96.28

By Division property of equality defines that divide the equal no. of both sides of an equation:

by Division of 116 to both sides of an equation, to get y:

$\frac{116y}{116} = \frac{96.28}{116}$

y = 0.83

So, the natural gas is $0.83 per unit

Each pound of food C contains 6 ounces of ingredient P and 3 ounces of ingredient Q. Each pound of food D contains 4.5 ounces of

GuDViN [60]

So hmm the food C = 6p + 3q and the food D = 4.5p + 1.5q

now, if we check how much is the ratios of C/D for each component, then, mixture M = 144p + 60q, must contain the same ratio for each "p" and "q" component

$\bf \textit{ratio of "p"}\implies \cfrac{6}{4.5}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}
\\\\\\
\textit{ratio of "q"}\implies \cfrac{3}{1.5}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}$

so, if we divide the 144p by 4+3, or 7 even pieces, 4 must belong to food C and 3 to food D, retaining the ratio of 4/3

and we do the same for 60q, we divide it in 2+1 or 3 even pieces, but that one is very clear, 2 must belong to food C and 1 to food D, 60/3 is clear ends up with a ratio of 40 and 20

now the "p" part... ends up as $\bf \cfrac{144}{7}\cdot 4\qquad and\qquad \cfrac{144}{7}\cdot 3\implies \cfrac{576}{7}\qquad and\qquad \cfrac{432}{7}$

that's what I see it, as the ratio of 4/3 and 2/1 being retained in the mixture M
