Answer:

(-2,-16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a function

$f(x) =5x^2+20x-16$

To find its vertex

We can use completion of squares method

$f(x) =5x^2+20x-16$

$f(x)=5(x^2+4x)-16\\=5(x^2+4x+4)-20-16\\=5(x+2)^2-16$

This is in std vertex form of a parabola

From the equation we find that the vertex is

(-2,-16)

Hence vertex is (-2,-16)

Verify:

Derivative of f(x) =f'(x)=10x+20

Equate to 0 to have x=-2

f(-2) = 20-40-16=-36

Thus verified

Answer:

vertex = (- 2, - 36)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parabola in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

f(x) = 5x² + 20x - 16 is in standard form

with a = 5, b = 20 and c = - 16

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{20}{10}$ = - 2

Substitute x = - 2 into f(x) for corresponding y- coordinate

f(- 2) = 5(- 2)² +20(- 2) - 16 = 20 - 40 - 16 = - 36

vertex = (- 2, - 36)

Which expression is equivalent to 3m+1-m?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

option (a) is correct.

2 + m - 1 + m is an equivalent expression to the given expression 3m+1-m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression 3m+1-m

We have to choose an equivalent expression from given options.

Equivalent expression are those expression that looks different but are same.

Like 4+2 = 6 and 3+ 3 = 6

Both have same value but looks differently.

Like terms are term having same variable with same degree.

Consider the given expression 3m+1-m

Simplify by adding like terms,

3m + 1 - m = (3-1) m + 1

Thus, (3-1) m + 1 = 2m + 1

Also 2m + 1 can be written as m + m + 2 - 1

Thus, option (a) is correct.

Lou has an account with $10,000 which pays 6% interest compounded annually. If to that account, Lou deposits $5,000 at the begin

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Option d. $22154 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will use the formula $A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

In this formula A = amount after time t

P = principal amount

r = rate of interest

n = number of times interest gets compounded in a year

t = time

Now Lou has principal amount on the starting of first year = 10000+5000 = $15000

So for one year $A=15000(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}$

$= 15000(1+.06)^{1}$

$= 15000(1.06)$ = $15900

After one year Lou added $5000 in this amount and we have to calculate the final amount he got

Now principal amount becomes $15900 + $ 5000 = $20900

Then putting the values again in the formula

$A=20900(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}$

$= 20900(1+.06)^{1}$

$= 20900(1.06)=22154$

So the final amount will be $22154.

A right angle has an area of 13m*2. The dimensions of the triangle are increased by a scale factor of 3. What is the area of the

Alex_Xolod [135]

The answer is: 117m²

The explanation is shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- The triangle has an area of 13 m².

- The dimensions of the triangle are increased by a scale factor of 3.

2. Therefore, to solve the exercise you must multiply the area by $3^{2}=9$ , as following:

$A=(13m^{2})(9)\\A=117m^{2}$

Round to the nearest whole number 3.713 divided by 0.413

babunello [35]

After the division, we get 8.99031476998. This rounds to 9 as a whole number, which is the answer.

When rounding to a whole number, the digits following the decimal decide what number it rounds to. If it is 0-4 it rounds to whatever the whole number currently is E.G.

8.1 would round to 8

But if its 5-9 it rounds to one above, like in our current case.

8.5 rounds to 9.

42.414 rounds to 42.

42.94149124 rounds to 43.
