The value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4
<h3>Vertex Form of a quadratic expression</h3>
Given the quadratic expressions
1.5x^2+6x+......
1.5(x^2 + 4x)
Using the completing the square method
The coefficient of x = 4
Half of the coefficient = 4/2 = 2
The square of the result = 2^2 = 4
The equation is expressed as:
f(x) = 1.5(x^2+4x+ 4) - 4
f(x) = 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4
Hence the value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

30b + 100u = 900
5b + 25u = 200....multiply by -6
------------------
30b + 100u = 900
-30b - 150u = - 1200 (result of multiplying by -6)
------------------add
-50u = - 300
u = 6 <== upgrated phones sold
30b + 100u = 900
30b + 100(6) = 900
30b + 600 = 900
30b = 900 - 600
30b = 300
b = 10 <== basic phones sold
Answer:
85
Step-by-step explanation:
because A is half of that and if you divided 170 by 2 you would get 85, I think that's how you do it.
