Answer:

p = -7 ±√87

Step-by-step explanation:

p2+14p-38=0 would be clearer if written as p^2+14p-38=0:  use " ^ " for exponentiation.

Let's "complete the square" to solve this quadratic equation:

Taking half of the coefficient of the p term, which is 14, yields 7.

Squaring this result yields 49.

Add this 49 to p^2 + 14p and also add 49 to the right side, obtaining:

p^2 + 14p + 49 - 38 = 49

Rewriting p^2 + 14p + 49 as a perfect square, we get:

(p + 7)^2 = 87

Let's now find p.  Take the square root of both sides, obtaining

p + 7 = ±√87

Isolate p by subtracting 7 from both sides:

p = -7 ±√87

These are the "solutions" or "roots" or "zeros" of p^2+14p-38=0.

64/40 = $1.60

$1.60 * 10 = $16

He should charge $1.60 a pack, another way to say this is $16 for the 10 packs total

The equation of a parabola is given.
Leokris [45]
We have that
y = -5/8 x²- 3x + 4----> multiply by 8----> 8y=-5x²-24x+32
8y-32=-5x²-24x

Factor the leading coefficient

8y-32=-5*(x²+4.8x)

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

8y-32=-5*(x²+4.8x+5.76-5.76)
8y-32-28.8=-5*(x²+4.8x+5.76)
8y-60.8=-5*(x+2.4)²
8*(y-7.6)=-5*(x+2.4)²
-(8/5)*(y-7.6)=(x+2.4)²
-(1.6)*(y-7.6)=(x+2.4)²

is a vertical parabola-----> open down
The standard form is (x - h)²<span> = 4p (y - k)
</span>
the vertex is the point (-2.4,7.6)
4p=-1.6
p=-1.6/4----> p=-0.40

<span>the directrix is
 y= k - p-------> 7.6-(-0.40)----> y=7.6+0.40----> y=8
</span>
the answer is
y=8
