Imagine a world in which only decimals, not fractions, are used. How would your life be different?

I used to hate fractions. But in time, you learn to love them. This is because there's a big difference between fractions and decimals, even though when you divide the actual fraction it comes out to a decimal. Decimals go on and on sometimes, and it would be impossible to write out all those numbers, especially when taking a timed test, for example. Fractions, in this case, would be much more useful (as long as you know how to use them to your advantage). Fractions are basically all those decimal numbers wrapped up into a single, simple division. It makes the outcome of your answer much more accurate than if you estimate every decimal you get throughout a math problem. The more you estimate throughout the problem-solving process, the less accurate your final answer will be. Hence why teachers will usually tell you to estimate when you're putting down the final answer. Fractions are complex at times, so it may be easier to use them in decimal form for certain situations (especially if the decimal form is short and sweet). A world without fractions will result in many, many inaccurate situations involving mathematical knowledge.

Type the correct answer in the box. Rewrite the quadratic equation in the form y = a(x − h)2 + k. y=5x^2-30x+95
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

y = 5(x - 3)^2 + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem wants you to rewrite the quadratic equation in the vertex form y = a(x - h)^2 + k

You are given a quadratic equation in standard form (ax^2 + bx = c).

To convert from standard form to vertex form, there are two ways but I will show you the easier(?) way.

Use the formula x = -b/2a to find the x-value (h) of the vertex. Note that the vertex in "vertex form" is (h, k) which is virtually the same as (x, y).

In y = 5x^2 - 30x + 95, a = 5, b = -30, and c = 95. Substitute a and b into the formula -b/2a.

  • -(-30) / 2(5)

Two negative make a positive, so -(-30) becomes 30 and 2 times 5 is 10. Now we have:

  • 30/10 which simplifies down to 3.

The x (h) value of the vertex is 3. To find the y-value, substitute 3 into the original standard form equation.

  • y = 5(3)^2 - 30(3) + 95
  • = 5(9) - (90) + 95
  • 45 - 90 + 95
  • 50

The y (k) value of the vertex is 50. Now we have: (h, k) ⇒ (3, 50).

Substitute the values for h and k into the vertex form.

  • y = a(x - 3)^2 + 50

We still need the a-value, and this is easy to find. You take the a value from the original standard for equation (remember: <u>a</u>x^2 + bx + c)

So our a-value is 5. Now we can substitute this value into the vertex form and complete the question.

y = 5(x - 3)^2 + 50
