Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercepts of the parabola are the solutions of the equation. These points can be determined either by graphical method or by solving the quadratic equation with any of the methods of solving a quadratic equation.

In order to use the graphical method, values of x are picked and substituted into the equation to get corresponding values of y. The y values are plotted against the x axis and the parabola (downward) is drawn. The points where it cuts the horizontal axis become the solutions of the equation

y = x^2 - 9x + 18

Solving the equation by using the factorization method,

x^2 - 9x + 18 = 0

x^2 - 6x - 3x + 18 = 0

x(x-6)-3(x-6)

(x-6)(x-3) = 0

x -6 = 0 or x -3 = 0

x = 6 or x = 3

The x-intercepts are (3, 0) and (6, 0)

Answer:

(3, 0) and (6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x-intercepts for the parabola is equivalent to solve y = x^2 - 9x + 18 = 0. To do that, quadratic formula is used:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-(-9) \pm \sqrt{(-9)^2 -4(1)(18)}}{2(1)}

x = \frac{9 \pm \sqrt{9}}{2}

x_1 = \frac{9 + 3}{2}

x_1 = 6

x_1 = \frac{9 - 3}{2}

x_2 = 3

Then, the coordinates are (3, 0) and (6, 0)

A rectangular area is to be enclosed and divided into thirds. The family has $880 to spend for the fencing material. The outside
viva [34]

Answer:

\W = Width

L = Length

Draw rectangle W x L

Divde rectangle into thirds with two lines parallel with width.

Outside fance perimeter = 2 W + 2 L

Inside fance length = 2 W

Total cost :

( 2 W + 2 L ) * 10 $ + 2 W * 20 $ = 400 $

( 2 W + 2 L ) * 10 + 2 W * 20 = 400

20 W + 20 L + 40 W = 400

60 W + 20 L = 400 Divide both sides by 20

60 W / 20 + 20 L / 20 = 400 / 20

3 W + L = 20 Subtract 3 W to both sides

3 W + L - 3 W = 20 - 3 W

L = 20 - 3W

Area :

A = W * L =

W * ( 20 - 3W ) =

20 W - 3 W ^ 2

First derivation :

dA / dW = 20 - 3 * 2 * W = 20 - 6 W

If first derivation = 0 a function has a local maximum or a local minimum.

dA / dW = 0

20 - 6 W = 0 Add 6 W to both sides

20 - 6 W + 6 W = 0 + 6 W

20 = 6 W Divide both sides by 6

20 / 6 = 6 W / 6

20 / 6 = W

2 * 10 / ( 2 * 3 ) = W

10 / 3 = W

W = 10 / 3 ft

If second derivative < 0 then function has a maximum.

If second derivative > 0 then function has a mimum.

In this case second derivative = - 6

Second derivative < 0 so function has a maximum.

For W = 10 / 3 ft

L = 20 - 3W = 20 - 3 * 10 / 3 = 20 - 10 = 10 ft

Amax = W * L = 10 / 3 * 10 = 100 / 3 ft ^2

in a classroom of 33 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 3 : 8. How many boys are in the class?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of ratio units is 3+8 = 11, so each one stands for 33/11 = 3 students. Multiplying the ratio by 3, we get

... boys : girls = 9 : 24 . . . . . . . note the total is 33

There are 9 boys in the class.
