Hi there!

First, let's set up an expression for each printer:

A: x
B: x + 12

Then, we know that when both printers are printing the report, it only takes 8 minutes. So, when averaged, that is how long it would take for the report to be printed. Here is our equation and solving:

1/2(2x + 12) = 8
x + 6 = 8
x = 2

Now, we know that x equals 2. This means that Printer A takes 2 minutes to print a report and Printer B takes 14 minutes to print a report.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola can be written as

y =  {a(x - h)}^{2}  + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the parabola's vertex. The vertices of the functions are as follows:

a) (3, 5)

b) (-7, 3)

c) (4, 0)

d) (0, -1)

e) (-1, -5)

f) (-1, -5)

Solve by completing the square. x^2 + 4x – 1= 0
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

x = -2 ± sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x – 1= 0

Add 1 to each side

x^2 + 4x – 1+1= 0+1

x^2 +4x = 1

Take the coefficient of x

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2=4

Add it to each side

x^2 +4x+4=1+4

(x+2)^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+2)^2 )=± sqrt(5)

x+2 = ± sqrt(5)

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -2 ± sqrt(5)

x = -2 ± sqrt(5)
