To start to solve this problem, we need to know what vertex form is. The vertex form of a parabola is. The vertex form of a parabola is a(x-h) + k, where k is the vertical shift, h is the horizontal shift, and a is the value that tells the stretch.
To start to solve this equation, we want to start to create a difference of two squares.
y = 2(x²+
x) We do this step to make the x² have a coefficient of 1
Now, we want to complete the square. To complete the square, we take 1/2 of the coefficient of x, and then square that.
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4, and 1/4²=1/16
That means that we need to add 1/16 inside and outside the parenthesis.
We get:
y = 2(x²+1/2x + 1/16) - 1/16*2
We do -1/16*2 on the outside because since we added it inside the parenthesis, we need to take it away somewhere else (if that makes sense). The two is there because there is a two in front of the parenthesis.
We get:
y = 2(x+1/4)² - 1/8, by completing the square and simplifying, and this is the final answer.

Answer:
(2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a trick: Use a temporary substitution for x^2. Let p = x^2. Then 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 becomes 4p^2 + 7p - 2 = 0.
Find p using the quadratic formula: a = 4, b = 7 and c = -2. Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or (7)^2-4(4)(-2), or 49+32, or 81.
Then the roots are:
-7 plus or minus √81
p= --------------------------------
8
p = 2/8 = 1/4 and p = -16/8 = -2.
Recalling that p = x^2, we let p = x^2 = 1/4, finding that x = plus or minus 1/2. We cannot do quite the same thing with the factor p= -2 because the roots would be complex.
If x = 1/2 is a root, then 2x - 1 is a factor. If x = -1/2 is a root, then 2x+1 is a factor.
Let's multiply these two factors, (2x-1) and (2x+1), together, obtaining 4x^2 - 1. Let's divide this 4x^2 - 1 into 4x^4+7x^2-2=0. We get x^2+2 as quotient.
Then, 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 in factored form, is (2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0.
Answer:
161 seniors
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem, given data are as follows:
Total number of sophomores = 300
Sophomores to junior ratio = 5:4
So, Number of Juniors = 300 × (4 ÷ 5)
= 240
Now, Juniors to senior ratio = 3:2
So, we can calculate the number of seniors by using following method:
Number of seniors = 240 × ( 2 ÷ 3)
= 240 × 0.67
= 160.8 or 161
Answer:
Graph A?
Step-by-step explanation:
Just trying to help, but I don't really know. I would say A because its a HUGE jump, but B is a steady incline, but assuming that A has the little incline in the beginning, and then the jump, then back to the incline, probably A would be more profitable.
