Answer:

Minimum at (-4, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 8x + 6

The coefficient of x² is positive, so the parabola opens upward, and the vertex is a minimum.

Subtract the constant from each side

x² + 8x = -6

Square half the coefficient of x

(8/2)² = 4² = 16

Add it to each side of the equation

x² + 8x + 16 = 10

Write the left-hand side as the square of a binomial

(x + 4)² = 10

Subtract 10 from each side of the equation

(x+ 4)² -10 = 0

This is the vertex form of the parabola:

(x - h)² + k = 0,

where (h, k) is the vertex.

h = -4 and k = -10, so the vertex is at (-4, -10).

The Figure below shows your parabola with a minimum at (-4, -10).

7. Jerry has 23 coins in nickels, n, and dimes, d. He
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

17 nickles !

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify the variables:

n = amount of nickels

d = amount of dimes

Next, setup the equations based on what you know.  The first equation is:

n + d = 28

For the second equation, we know that a dime is worth 10¢ and a nickel is 5¢, so it should be:

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95

This a three-step answer:

In one formula (you can use any of them; most people use the simplest one), single out the variable on one side

Apply the first formula into the second formula, and solve it to get the value of one variable

Apply the answer from the second formula into the first formula, and solve it to get the value of the other variable

======

Step One:

n + d = 28

n + d - d = 28 - d

n = 28 - d

Step Two:

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95

(0.05 * (28 - d)) + 0.10d = 1.95

1.40 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 1.95

1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95

1.40 - 1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95 - 1.40

0.05d = 0.55

d = 11

Step Three:

n = 28 - d

n = 28 - 11

n = 17

======

Your answer should be 17 nickels and 11 dimes.

You can double check by applying the variables into both formulas.

n + d = 28

17 + 11 = 28

28 = 28

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95

(0.05 * 17) + (0.10 * 11) = 1.95

0.85 + 1.10 = 1.95

1.95 = 1.95

I hope this helped.

Find the area. Please help
Nutka1998 [239]

The answer to your question is 77 because the formula for area for a triangle is A=1/2BH and the base is 11 feet and the height is 14 feet. So, (14•11)/2 is 77. Therefore, 77 squared feet is the answer.

Write the equation of the line described in point-slope form. Then, change to Standard Form. Contains points (3/2,-1/2) and (-1/
larisa [96]
Slope point form :
To put in slope point form, label any of the points as either X1,y1 and X and y, then plug in those values into the following equation form.
Y - y1 = m(X-X1)

But before, we must solve for the m value or slope.
M = y2-y1/x2-X1
M = 5/2 - -1/2 / -1/2 - 3/2.
M = 5/2 + 1/2 / -(1/2+3/2)
M = 6/2 / -(4/2)
M = 3/-2

Now we can place it in slope point and also in standard form of a line.

Y-y1 = m(X -X1)

Y - -1/2 = -3/2(X - 3/2)

Y + 1/2 = -3/2(X - 3/2)

This is in slope point form.

Y + 1/2 = -3/2x + 9/4
Y + 1/2 - 1/2 = -3/2x + 9/4 - 1/2
1/2 = 2/4
Y = -3/2x + 7/4
-3/2x = -6/4x
Y = -6/4x + 7/4
Y • 4 = 4( -6/4 X + 7/4)
4y = -6x + 7
4y + 6x = -6x + 6x +7

6x + 4y = 7

This is in standard form. If you have any questions of the steps just ask.
