Question 21
Let's complete the square
y = 3x^2 + 6x + 5
y-5 = 3x^2 + 6x
y - 5 = 3(x^2 + 2x)
y - 5 = 3(x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1)
y - 5 = 3(x^2+2x+1) - 3
y - 5 = 3(x+1)^2 - 3
y = 3(x+1)^2 - 3 + 5
y = 3(x+1)^2 + 2
Answer: Choice D
============================================
Question 22
Through trial and error you should find that choice D is the answer
Basically you plug in each of the given answer choices and see which results in a true statement.
For instance, with choice A we have
y < -4(x+1)^2 - 3
-7 < -4(0+1)^2 - 3
-7 < -7
which is false, so we eliminate choice A
Choice D is the answer because
y < -4(x+1)^2 - 3
-9 < -4(-2+1)^2 - 3
-9 < -7
which is true since -9 is to the left of -7 on the number line.

Question 25
Answer: Choice B
Explanation:
The quantity (x-4)^2 is always positive regardless of what you pick for x. This is because we are squaring the (x-4). Squaring a negative leads to a positive. Eg: (-4)^2 = 16
Adding on a positive to (x-4)^2 makes the result even more positive. Therefore (x-4)^2 + 1 > 0 is true for any real number x.
Visually this means all solutions of y > (x-4)^2 + 1 reside in quadrants 1 and 2, which are above the x axis.
Answer:
Hi! The correct answer is x=-19/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>~Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable~</u></em>
Answer:
Venus fly trap = 12
Bonsai tree = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Venus fly trap = $3per plant
Bonsai tree = $5 per plant
Number of plants sold = 29
Total cost of plant sold = $121
Let venus fly trap = x ; bonsai tree =y
x + y = 29 ___ (1)
3x + 5y = 121 ____(2)
From (1) :
x = 29 - y
In (2):
3(29 - y) + 5y = 121
87 - 3y + 5y = 121
87 + 2y = 121
2y = 121 - 87
2y = 34
y = 34/2
y = 17
x = 29 - 17
x = 12
Hence,
Venus fly trap = 12
Bonsai tree = 17
Answer:
Interest earned: $150.85
Total amount: $850.86
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=700(1.05)^4
Put the right side of the equation into a calculator and get
850.85 that's your total, so to get the amount earned subtract the original 700 from it and get 150.85
