Y = x^2+ 7x - 5 can be written in the form y = (x + a)^2+b

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex

Given y = x² + 7x - 5

To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

y = x² + 2( \frac{7}{2} )x +\frac{49}{4} - \frac{49}{4} - 5

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{49}{4} - \frac{20}{4}

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{69}{4}

Hence

a = \frac{7}{2} and b = - \frac{69}{4}

In a photograph, a house is 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall. The photograph is enlarged while keeping proportional dimensions, a
AlekseyPX

Since you keep proportional dimensions, the proportion between the old and new dimensions must be the same. So, if we call the new height h, the preservation of the width/height ratio is written as


4 \div 6 = 9 \div h


Solving the proportion for h yields


h = \frac{6\cdot 9}{4} =\frac{3\cdot 9}{2} = \frac{27}{2} = 13.5

The velocity of an automobile starting from rest is given by the equation below, where v is measured in feet per second and t is
podryga [215]

Answer:

(a) 0.408m/sec^2

(b) 0.134m/sec^2

(c) 0.039m/sec^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given velocity as function of t v(t)=\frac{85t}{(8t+14)}

Acceleration is equation rate if change of velocity with respect to time

So a=\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{(8t+14)85-85t\times 8}{(8t+14)^2}

(a) Acceleration at t = 5 sec

a=\frac{(8\times 5+14)85-85\times 5\times 8}{(8\times 5+14)^2}=0.408m/sec^2

(b) Acceleration at t = 10 sec

a=\frac{(8\times 10+14)85-85\times 10\times 8}{(8\times 10+14)^2}=0.134m/sec^2

(c) Acceleration at t = 20 sec

a=\frac{(8\times 20+14)85-85\times 20\times 8}{(8\times 20+14)^2}=0.039m/sec^2
