Answer:

Answer c): write the function in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

To start with, it is important to write the polynomial in standard form, so as to have the two terms with the dependence in x together:

6x^2-42\,x+5

then you extract 6 as a common factor of just the terms with the variable x:

6(x^2-7x)+5

Then proceed to complete the square in the expression inside the parenthesis:

6(x^2-7x+\frac{49}{4} -\frac{49}{4})+5

6\,((x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{49}{4} )+5\\6\,(x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{147}{2}+5\\6\,(x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{137}{2}

Then, the function can be finally be written as:

f(x)=6\,(x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{137}{2}

in vertex form

faltersainse [42]
ABC = 408 
C + 7 = B
A + 5 = B 

B - 7 + B - 5 + B = 408
3B - 12 = 408
     + 12 = +12
3B = 420
/3   = /3
B = 120
A = 115
C = 113
The answer is A = 115, Abel has $ 115

Answer:

f = 78

g = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find f.

We can use the equation 72 + (f + 30) = 180 to solve for f.

We can then change that equation to 72 + f + 30 = 180, since the Commutative Property of Addition says that you can have any addition in any order.

Now, we can solve the equation.

102 + f = 180\\(102 - 102) + f = 180 - 102\\f = 78

Now that we solved f, we can now solve for g.

Since 25 equals 8g -3, we can solve the equation 8g - 3 = 25.

Here is how you solve it:

8g - 3 = 25\\8g + (-3 + 3) = 25 + 3\\8g = 28\\g = \frac{28}{8}

Since \frac{28}{8} equals 3.5, which is the simplest form, that is the answer.

Hope this helps, and please mark me brainliest! :)
