The equation -2x2-8x = 10is rewritten in the form of -2(x-p)2+q = 0. What is the value of q?

Mathematics

Answer:

q = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x²-8x = 10 (divide both sides by -2)

x² + 4x = -5 (Apply completing the square method)

x² + 4x + (4/2)²= -5 + (4/2)²

x² + 4x + 2²= -5 + 2²    (reduce left hand side using a²+2ab+b² =  (a+b)² )

(x+2)² = -5 +4

(x+2)² = -1

(x+2)² + 1 = 0   (multiply both sides by -2)

(-2)(x+2)² + 1 (-2) = 0

-2[x - (-2)]² + (-2) = 0  ---> compare this with -2(x-p)² + q = 0

We can see that p = 2 and q = -2

Marco has $75 to spend on new clothes for a job interview. He buys a shirt for $18.28, pants for $42.39, and a tie for $12.97. H
dedylja [7]

Answer:

$1.36

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add together the prices of all the clothes:

18.28 + 42.39 + 12.97

= 73.64

Then, subtract this from 75:

75 - 73.64

= 1.36

So, he will have $1.36 left after buying the clothes

A printer has a contract to print 100,000 posters for a political candidate. He can run the posters by using any number of plate
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Numbers of posters that can be printed in an hour = no of impression/hour × no of plate utilized in each impression.

= 1000x

Thus, the required number of hours it will take can be computed as:

\implies \dfrac{100000}{1000x} \\ \\ =\dfrac{100}{x}

cost per hour = 125

If each plate costs $20 to make, then the total number of plate will equal to 40x

∴

The total cost can be computed as:

C(x) = (\dfrac{100}{x}) \times 125 + 20 x --- (1)

C'(x) = (-\dfrac{12500}{x^2})  + 20  --- (2)

At C'(x) = 0

\dfrac{12500}{x^2} = 20

\dfrac{12500}{20} = x^2

x^2= 625

x = \sqrt{625}

x = 25

C'' (x) = -12500 \times \dfrac{-2}{x^3} +0

C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{x^3}

where; x = 25

C'' (x) = \dfrac{25000}{25^3}

C''(x) = 1.6

Thus, at x = 25, C'' > 0

As such, to minimize the cost, the printer needs to make 25 metal plates.

HOW is it helpful to write numbers in different ways?
Alisiya [41]
It is helpful to write them in different ways
some ways to write them are
1.fractions
2.decimals
3.squareroots (if applicable)

so it would be more helpful in an equation to leave 6/7 in fractional form if  you are going to manipulate it more, because 0.857142857142... is much harder to keep track of than 6/7


and sometimes, they want a percent which is easier to convert to from decimal form than from fractinoal form so ex  0.857142857142...=85.7% vs 6/7 to percent

sometimes there will be square roots and they are easier if left like that ex
√2=1.4142135623...
it would be easier to leav it in square root

it depends on the equation you are trying to solve, because different forms have different pros and cons, some are easier to work with in a certain form but not in another, sometimes, you will need to change between multipule forms during the same problem
