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

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza cost $8. Each additional inch cost
Katyanochek1 [597]

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches orr larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8 and each additional costs $1.50 and each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents the cost of a pizza is:

P = $10 + $1.50a + $0.75b

Where 'a' represents the number additional inches and 'b' represents the number of additional toppings.

Amanda plans to have 20 friends over to Watch NCAA Basketball on Saturday. She plans to serve pizza, wings, soda, and brownies.
poizon [28]
<h2><u>In total, she will need $98.34 to pay all of the foods she plans to serve at the party.</u></h2>

All of the work:

<em>How to solve the amount of pizza she needs:</em>

20 x 3 = 60

60 divided by 10 = 6

<em>How to solve the amount of soda bottled needed:</em>

20 x 16 = 320

320 divided by 64 = 5

<em>How to solve the number of pans she needs:</em>

20(2 x 3) = 40 x 60

40 x 60 divided by 8 x 12 = 5

<h2>THE COST CAN BE FOUND BY MULTIPLYING THE NUMBER OF THE ITEM NEEDED AND THE PRICE FOR EACH OF THE ITEM.</h2>

<em>Number of pizza she needs:6 pizza, costs $77.94</em>

<em>Number of soda bottles she needs:5 bottles, costs $8.45</em>

<em>Number of pans she needs:5 pans, costs $11.95</em>

<em>Add 77.94, 8.45, and 11.95 and get 98.34</em>
