Answer:

$11\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$4\frac{1}{2}\ ft$

$4\ ft$

$2\frac{1}{2}\ ft$

we know that

The length of all three tables when pushed end to end is the sum of the three lengths

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$4\frac{1}{2}\ ft=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}\ ft$

$2\frac{1}{2}\ ft=\frac{2*2+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ ft$

therefore

$\frac{9}{2}\ ft+4\ ft+\frac{5}{2}\ ft$

Rewrite $4\ ft$ as $\frac{8}{2}\ ft$

so

$\frac{9}{2}\ ft+\frac{8}{2}\ ft+\frac{5}{2}\ ft=\frac{22}{2}\ ft=11\ ft$

What is the value of x?

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 180 degrees in a triangle. With that information we can make the equation: 180=(47+85)+x.

When you solve it becomes:

180=132+x --> x=48 degrees

Hope that helped!

2(x/8 + 3) = 7 + 1/4x what is x

malfutka [58]

Answer:

x1 = 2 - $\sqrt{5}$

x2= 2 + $\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x/4 + 6 = 7 + 1/4x

(x^2 - 1)/4x = 1

x^2 - 1 = 4x

x^2 - 4x -1 = 0

x= (4+ $\sqrt{20}$ )/2 = 2 - $\sqrt{5}$

x= 2 + $\sqrt{5}$

The equation 2x2 − 12x + 1 = 0 is being rewritten in vertex form. Fill in the missing step. Given 2x2 − 12x + 1 = 0 Step 1 2(x2

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Part 1) $2(x-3)^{2}-17=0$ (the missing steps in the explanation)

Part 3) (8, 4); The vertex represents the maximum profit

Part 4) x = 3.58, 0.42

Part 5) x = 6, x = 44; The zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made

Part 6) 2(x − 7)2 + 118; x = $7

Part 7) The maximum height of the puck is 4 feet. −(x − 4)^2 + 6

Part 8) (x + 3)^2 − 4

Part 9) 2(x − 1)^2 = 4

Part 10) 8(x − 4)^2 + 592

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2x^{2} -12x+1=0$

Convert to vertex form

step 1

Factor the leading coefficient and complete the square

$2(x^{2} -6x)+1=0$

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)+1-18=0$

step 2

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)+1-18=0$

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)-17=0$

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x-3)^{2}-17=0$

Part 3) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+16x-60$

we know that

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Convert to vertex form

$f(x)+60=-x^{2}+16x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)+60=-(x^{2}-16x)$

Complete the squares

$f(x)+60-64=-(x^{2}-16x+64)$

$f(x)-4=-(x^{2}-16x+64)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-4=-(x-8)^{2}$

$f(x)=-(x-8)^{2}+4$

The vertex is the point (8,4)

The vertex represent the maximum profit

Part 4) Solve for x

we have

$-2(x-2)^{2}+5=0$

$-2(x-2)^{2}=-5$

$(x-2)^{2}=2.5$

square root both sides

$(x-2)=(+/-)1.58$

$x=2(+/-)1.58$

$x=2(+)1.58=3.58$

$x=2(-)1.58=0.42$

Part 5) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+50x-264$

we know that

The zeros or x-intercepts are the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

In this context the zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made

To find the zeros equate the function to zero

$-x^{2}+50x-264=0$

$-x^{2}+50x=264$

Factor -1 of the leading coefficient

$-(x^{2}-50x)=264$

Complete the squares

$-(x^{2}-50x+625)=264-625$

$-(x^{2}-50x+625)=-361$

$(x^{2}-50x+625)=361$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-25)^{2}=361$

square root both sides

$(x-25)=(+/-)19$

$x=25(+/-)19$

$x=25(+)19=44$

$x=25(-)19=6$

Part 6) we have

$-2x^{2}+28x+20$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Convert the equation into vertex form

Factor the leading coefficient

$-2(x^{2}-14x)+20$

Complete the square

$-2(x^{2}-14x+49)+20+98$

$-2(x^{2}-14x+49)+118$

Rewrite as perfect square

$-2(x-7)^{2}+118$

The vertex is the point (7,118)

therefore

The video game price that produces the highest weekly profit is x=$7

Part 7) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+8x-10$

Convert to vertex form

$f(x)+10=-x^{2}+8x$

Factor -1 the leading coefficient

$f(x)+10=-(x^{2}-8x)$

Complete the square

$f(x)+10-16=-(x^{2}-8x+16)$

$f(x)-6=-(x^{2}-8x+16)$

Rewrite as perfect square

$f(x)-6=-(x-4)^{2}$

$f(x)=-(x-4)^{2}+6$

The vertex is the point (4,6)

therefore

The maximum height of the puck is 4 feet.

Part 8) we have

$x^{2}+6x+5$

Convert to vertex form

Group terms

$(x^{2}+6x)+5$

Complete the square

$(x^{2}+6x+9)+5-9$

$(x^{2}+6x+9)-4$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+3)^{2}-4$

Part 9) we have

$2x^{2}-4x-2=0$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 2 the leading coefficient

$2(x^{2}-2x)-2=0$

Complete the square

$2(x^{2}-2x+1)-2-2=0$

$2(x^{2}-2x+1)-4=0$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x-1)^{2}-4=0$

$2(x-1)^{2}=4$

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

Part 10) we have

$8x^{2}-64x+720$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 8 the leading coefficient

$8(x^{2}-8x)+720$

Complete the square

$8(x^{2}-8x+16)+720-128$

$8(x^{2}-8x+16)+592$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$8(x-4)^{2}+592$

the vertex is the point (4,592)

The population has a minimum at x=4 years ( that is after 4 years since 1998 )
