Two consecutive whole numbers such that the sum of their squares is 13

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Our current equation is:
-8r -31 = -3(5r -6)
To solve for this, we need to get r on one side of the equation and then simplify if needed.
On the right side of the equation, we have a pending Distributive Property, which is when you multiply the number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables in the parenthesis.
Let's simplify this Distributive Property to help understand our equation better.
-3(5r -6)
Multiply -3 by each number/variable separately (unless they are already being multiplied, like 2x, 1/2x, etc).
-3(5r) + -3(-6).
-3(5r) = -15r
-3(-6) = 18 (both negatives need to be in parenthesis to keep a product as negative, and if you do not multiply them in that way, you will end up with a positive product).
Your equation now is:
-8r -31 = -15r + 18
Add 15r to both sides to get r on one side.
7r -31 = 18 is now our current equation.
Add 31 to both sides to get 7r by itself.
7r = 49 is now our equation.
r is still being multiplied by 7, so we need to do the opposite of multiplying by 7.
Divide both sides by 7.
r = 7.
I hope this helps!

The graph of the quadratic function y=-x^2-2x+3 is shown below

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The axis of symmetry is at $x=-1$

The graph has an x-intercept at $(1,0)$

The graph has a vertex at $(-1,4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-x^{2}-2x+3$

Statements

case 1) The graph has root at $3$ and $1$

The statement is False

Because, the roots of the quadratic equation are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero (x-intercepts)

Observing the graph, the roots are at $-3$ and $1$

case 2) The axis of symmetry is at $x=-1$

The statement is True

Observing the graph, the vertex is the point $(-1,4)$

The axis of symmetry in a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

the equation of the axis of symmetry is $x=-1$

case 3) The graph has an x-intercept at $(1,0)$

The statement is True

see procedure case 1)

case 4) The graph has an y-intercept at $(-3,0)$

The statement is False

Because, the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

Observing the graph, the y-intercept is the point $(0,3)$

case 5) The graph has a relative minimum at $(-1,4)$

The statement is False

Because, is a vertical parabola open downward, therefore the vertex is a maximum

The point $(-1,4)$ represent the vertex of the parabola, so is a maximum

case 6) The graph has a vertex at $(-1,4)$

The statement is True

see the procedure case 5)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

How do you find the whole number from the percentage increase?<br><br><br>(Give an example)

hjlf

Say the percentage increase is 25%. If you have the whole number of 30 then you would multiply 30 by .25. You should therefore get 7.5 once both are multiplied. That means you should add 7.5 to 30, and your final answer will be 37.5.
