Answer:
The function has two x-intercepts.
The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the vertex is located at (0.25, -6) and the parabola opens up, the function has two x-intercepts.
f(x) = 2x² - x - 6 has the following coefficients:
a = 2
b = -1
c = -6
x-coordinate of the vertex is:
x = -b/(2a)
x = 1/(2*2) = 1/4
y-coordinate of the vertex is:
f(1/4) = 2(1/4)² - 1/4 - 6 = -6 1/8
Let m and r represent the maximum speeds of Malcolm and Ravi in km/h, respectively.
... (m + r)/2 = 260 . . . . . the average of their speeds was 260 kph
... 2m = r + 80 . . . . . . . . double Malcolm's speed is 80 kph more than Ravi's
The second equation can be solved for r and that expression substituted into the first equation.
... 2m - 80 = r . . . . . . . . . . . an expression for r from the second equation
... (m + 2m - 80)/2 = 260 . . . the result of substituting that into the first
... 3m - 80 = 520 . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
... m = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80 and divide by 3
... 2·200 - 80 = r = 320 . . .substitute the value of m into the expression for r
Malcolm's maximum speed was 200 km/h.
Ravi's maximum speed was 320 km/h.
I don't know what you mean by "Broken apart," but I'll do my best...
20 x 90 = 1800
9 x 7 = 63
1800 + 63 = 1863

8.5*14 = 119 dollars
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
