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

Answer:

<h2>17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 11 - 3x

f(-2) - <em>put x = -2 to the f(x):</em>

<em />

f(-2) = 11 - 3(-2) = 11 + 6 = 17

The mean length of 6 childrens' big finger is 12.6cm.
malfutka [58]

14.94 cm ( to 2 dec. places )

We require the sum totals of the 2 groups before calculating the mean of all 14

using mean = \frac{sum}{count}

Children's sum

12.6 = \frac{sum}{6}( cross-multiply )

sum = 6 × 12.6 = 75.6

Adult's sum

16.7 = \frac{sum}{8}( cross- multiply )

sum = 8 × 16.7 = 133.6

Total sum of all 14 = 75.6 + 133.6 = 209.2

mean = \frac{209.2}{14} = 14.94 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(–5g^5 h^6)^2 × (g^4 h^2)^4        the ^ carot symbol means raised to power X

 (25 g^10 h^12) × (g^16 h^8)         exponents raised to powers MULTIPLY

  -5² = 25   g^5² = g^10  h^6² = h^12     do the same thing with   (g^4 h^2)^4

  25 g^(10+16) h^(12+8)                 collecting terms powers ADD

  25 g^26 h^20                         Which letter is the answer?  

                                                  Did you follow my explaination?
