Rewrite the following quadratic function in vertex form. Then, determine if it has a maximum or minimum and say what that value
is. y = -x^2 + 6x + 5
1 answer:
Discussion
1. Put brackets around the first two terms
y = (-x^2 + 6x) + 5
2. Take out the common factor of -1
y = -(x^2 - 6x) + 5
3. Inside the brackets, take 1/2 of - 6 and square it
y = -(x^2 - 6x + ( - 6 / 2)^2 ) + 5
y = -(x^2 - 6x + (- 3)^2 ) ) + 5
y = -(x^2 - 6x + 9 ) + 5
Note: Step 3 is very long. Make sure you work your way through it
4. You have added 9 inside the brackets. <em><u>It is actually - 9. So add 9 outside to balance the equation out. </u></em> This is the key step. Make sure you understand it.
y = - (x^2 - 6x + 9) + 5 + 9
5. Express the brackets as a square.
y = - (x + 3)^2 + 14
Discussion
The equation is now in vertex form. The minus tells you that the equation is a maximum. The maximum is located at ( - 3, 14 )
A graph follows to show the results.

Question:
Which scenario best matches the linear relationship expressed in the equation y = –14x + 1,700?
1) Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.
2) Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and deposits $14 each week.
3) Kent had $1,700 in his bank account and deposited another $14.
4) Kent has $14 in his bank account and spent $1,700.
Answer:
Option 1) Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denote the number of weeks.
Option 1: Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and -14x as the negative sign denotes how much amount he spend each week.
Thus, Option 1 is the correct answer.
Option 2: Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and deposits $14 each week.
Writing it as equation, we have, which is not the expressed linear equation.
Hence, Option 2 is not the correct answer.
Option 3: Kent had $1,700 in his bank account and deposited another $14.
Writing it as equation, we have, which is not the expressed linear equation.
Hence, Option 3 is not the correct answer.
Option 4: Kent has $14 in his bank account and spent $1,700.
Writing it as equation, we have, which is not the expressed linear equation.
Hence, Option 4 is not the correct answer.
Thus, the scenario that matches the linear equation relationship expressed in the equation is Option 1.
The answer is Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.
Given:
4:x::x:16
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
We have,
4:x::x:16
It means, we have
4:x = x:16
It can be rewritten as
On cross multiplication, we get
Taking square root on both sides.
Since ratio can be negative or positive, therefore, the value of x is either -8 or 8.
