Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that Bill bought 38 1/2 feet of wire. Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

The length L1 = 77/2

You are given that he cut the wire into several pieces, each one measuring 5 1/2 feet. Convert it too to improper fraction.

The length L2 = 11/2

To know how many number of pieces of wire he have after making the cuts, divide length L1 by length L2. That is,

L1/L2 = 77/2 ÷ 11/2

Change the division to multiplication by reciprocating 11/2 to 2/11

77/2 × 2/11 = 77/11 = 7

Therefore, he had 7 pieces of wires after making the cuts.

F(x)=-x^2+8x+15 ...?
rusak2 [61]
Here i how I would do it:<span>f(x)=−<span>x2</span>+8x+15</span>
set f(x) = 0 to find the points at which the graph crosses the x-axis. So<span>−<span>x2</span>+8x+15=0</span>
multiply through by -1<span><span>x2</span>−8x−15=0</span> <span>(x−4<span>)2</span>−31=0</span> <span>x=4±<span>31<span>−−</span>√</span></span>
So these are the points at which the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the point where it crosses the y-axis, set x=0 in your original equation to get 15. Now because of the negative on the x^2, your graph will be an upside down parabola, going through<span>(0,15),(4−<span>31<span>−−</span>√</span>,0)and(4+<span>31<span>−−</span>√</span>,0)</span>
To find the coordinates of the maximum (it is maximum) of the graph, you take a look at the completed square method above. Since we multiplied through by -1, we need to multiply through by it again to get:<span>f(x)=31−(x−4<span>)2</span></span><span>
Now this is maximal when x=4, because x=4 causes -(x-4)^2 to vanish. So the coordinates of the maximum are (4,y). To find the y, simply substitute x=4 into the equation f(x) to give y = 31. So it agrees with the mighty Satellite: (4,31) is the vertex.</span>
