Their total expenses are ...
.. $1.50 +3.00 +1.25 = $5.75

Their profit is the difference between their charge and their cost:
.. $25.00 -5.75 = $19.25

The correct choice is ...
B) $19.25

Which equation is y = –6x^2 + 3x + 2 rewritten in vertex form? y = negative 6 (x minus 1) squared + 8 y = negative 6 (x + one-fo

mart [117]

Answer:

$y = -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2 -\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y = -6x^2 + 3x + 2$

Required

Rewrite in vertex form

The vertex form of an equation is in form of: $y = a(x - h)^2+ k$

Solving: $y = -6x^2 + 3x + 2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$y - 2 = -6x^2 + 3x + 2 - 2$

$y - 2 = -6x^2 + 3x$

Factorize expression on the right hand side by dividing through by the coefficient of x²

$y - 2 = -6(x^2 + \frac{3x}{-6})$

$y - 2 = -6(x^2 - \frac{3x}{6})$

$y - 2 = -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2})$

Get a perfect square of coefficient of x; then add to both sides

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>Rough work</em>

The coefficient of x is $\frac{-1}{2}$

It's square is $(\frac{-1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}$

Adding inside the bracket of $-6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2})$ to give: $-6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

To balance the equation, the same expression must be added to the other side of the equation;

Equivalent expression is: $-6(\frac{1}{4})$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The expression becomes

$y - 2 -6(\frac{1}{4})= -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

$y - 2 -\frac{6}{4}= -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

$y - 2 -\frac{3}{2}= -6(x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$

Factorize the expression on the right hand side

$y - 2 -\frac{3}{2}= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y - (2 +\frac{3}{2})= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y - (\frac{4+3}{2})= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y - (\frac{7}{2})= -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

$y +\frac{7}{2} = -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2$

Make y the subject of formula

$y = -6(x - \frac{1}{2})^2 -\frac{7}{2}$

During the day,Sam spent $4.85 on lunch.he also bought 2 books for $7.95 each. At the end of the day we had $8.20 left how much

Vlada [557]

20.75 because if you add 4.85+7.95+7.95 add that you get 20.75

A line passes through the points (0, 9) and (9, 19). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

y = 10/9x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, we need to find the slope (m) of the line and its y-intercept (b).

Given the points (0, 9) and (9, 19), we can solve for the slope of the line using the following formula:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Let (x1, y1) = (0, 9)

and (x2, y2) = (9, 19)

Substitute these values on the formula:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{19 - 9}{9 - 0} = \frac{10}{9}$

Therefore, the slope (<em>m </em>) = 10/9.

Next, the <u>y-intercept</u> is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis, and has the coordinates, (0, <em>b </em>). It is also the value of the y when x = 0.

One of the given points is the y-intercept of the line, given by (0, 9). The y-coordinate, 9, is the value of b.

Therefore, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is: y = 10/9x + 9
