Answer:
I believe the correct answer is D
Answer:
30 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the policy:
8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted
If homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted
Since :
8 trees cut down = 48 planted
5 trees cut down = X
Cross multiply :
8 * X = 48 * 5
8X = 240
X = 240/8
X = 30
Hence, 30 trees will need to be planted
Answer:
The answer for the first equation is,
X = 6, -4
The answer for second equation is,
X = 9,2
A second degree polynomial function has the general form:

, where

.
The leading coefficient is a, so we have a=-1.
5 is a double root means that :
i) f(5)=0,
ii) the discriminant D is 0, where

.
Substituting x=5, we have
f(5)=a(5)^2+b(5)+c,
and since f(5)=0, and a is -1 we have:
0=-25+5b+c
thus c=25-5b.
By ii)

.
Substituting a with -1 and c with 25-5b we have:
Finally we find c: c=25-5b=25-50=-25
Thus the function is

Remark: It is also possible to solve the problem by considering the form

directly.
In general, if a quadratic function has leading coefficient a, and has a root r of multiplicity 2, then its form is
