Answer:
(2, -4).
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 4x
= (x - 2)^2 - 4.
So the vertex is at
(2, -4).

Answer: 4.2913 * 10^8</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^(3+5)
4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^3*10^5
4.3*10^8 = 4.3*1000*10^5
4.3*10^8 = 4300*10^5
Priscilla has 4300*10^5 strands of hair while Diego has 8.7 * 10^5 strands. Subtract the values out front: 4300-8.7 = 4291.3
Then tack on the "*10^5" portion to get 4291.3*10^5
The difference in the number of strands is 4291.3*10^5
Convert this to scientific notation to get the final answer.
4291.3*10^5 = (4291.3)*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = (4.2913 * 1000)*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 1000*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^3*10^5
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^(3+5)
4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^8
Note: The number 4.2913 * 10^8 expands out to 429,130,000 which is a little over 429 million.

Answer:
120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more, this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:
Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.
x(120) = 144(100)
120x = 14400
x= 120 pounds
Avani wrote the linear equation y = 5x + 4. Then, she wrote the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 5x+ 4 and that passes through (15,–2). If her new equation is in the form
, what is the value of b?

- m is the slope
- b is the y-intercept
The equation of a line that is perpendicular to another line always has the opposite reciprocal slope. In the original equation, the slope is 5. The opposite of 5, which refers to the sign, is -5. The reciprocal of -5 is -1/5. That means the slope of the new line is -1/5.
The perpendicular line:
- Has a slope of

- Passes through the point (15, -2)
To find the equation of a line that passes through a specific point, you need to use slope-intercept form.

- y₁ is the y-value of the point
- m is the slope
- x₁ is the x-value of the point
y₁ is -2, m is -1/5, and x₁ is 15.
Substitute the known values into the equation:

Open the parentheses and distribute:

The new equation will be:

Lastly, you need to move the positive 2 to the other side to keep it in y = mx + b form.

The equation of the perpendicular line is:

The value of b is 1.
