Answer:

y=sqrt(29)/2-1/2, -sqrt(29)/2-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2+y-7=0

completing the square,

(b/2)^2=(1/2)^2=1/4

(y+1/2)^2=7+1/4

(y+1/2)^2=28/4+1/4

(y+1/2)^2=29/4

y+1/2=sqrt(29/4)

y=sqrt(29/4)-1/2

y=sqrt(29)/2-1/2

y=-sqrt(29)/2-1/2

Answer:

y = sqrt(29)/2 - 1/2 or y = -1/2 - sqrt(29)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y:

y^2 + y - 7 = 0

Add 7 to both sides:

y^2 + y = 7

Add 1/4 to both sides:

y^2 + y + 1/4 = 29/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(y + 1/2)^2 = 29/4

Take the square root of both sides:

y + 1/2 = sqrt(29)/2 or y + 1/2 = -sqrt(29)/2

Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

y = sqrt(29)/2 - 1/2 or y + 1/2 = -sqrt(29)/2

Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

Answer: y = sqrt(29)/2 - 1/2 or y = -1/2 - sqrt(29)/2

The function f is given in three equivalent forms.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The one that gives us the fastest y-intercept is "b". The coordinates are (0,15).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to check which form gives us the fastest y-intercept value, let's apply x = 0 in all three of them and check how many operations we need to do to get our desired results.

a) f(x) = -3*(x - 2)² + 27

f(0) = -3*(0 - 2)² + 27

f(0) = -3*(4) + 27

f(0) = -12 + 27

f(0) = 15

b) f(x) = -3*x² + 12*x + 15

f(0) = -3*(0)² + 12*(0) + 15

f(0) = 15

c) f(x) = -3*(x + 1)*(x - 5)

f(0) = -3*(0+1)*(0-5)

f(0) = -3*(-5)

f(0) = 15

The fastest one is "b". Since it is in the standard second degree equation form "a*x² + b*x + c", we could have checked immediately by the value of "c".

The y-interecept is (0,15).

A cylinder has a volume of 245 cubic units and a height of 5 units. The diameter of the cylinder is
frutty [35]

The independent variable here is b, the number of mats; the dependent var. is p, the cost of b mats. Thus, p = f(b).


Here, 245 units^3 = pi*r^2*(5 units), or


245 units^3

r^2 = ------------------- = 15.61 units^2. Thus, the radius is sqrt(15.61 units^2), or

5(3.14) units 3.95 units. The DIAMETER is d = 2*r = 7.90 units.
