Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for how much height is gained per cup added.
Height per cup added can be calculated by finding the slope of the line that runs through the two given points on the graph, (3, 5.5) and (8, 8).
Formula for slope =
Let,
Answer:
D) 12
Step-by-step explanation:
divide each term by -8 and simplify
-8/-8x=-96/-8
x=12
To factor quadratic equations of the form ax^2+bx+c=y, you must find two values, j and k, which satisfy two conditions.
jk=ac and j+k=b
The you replace the single linear term bx with jx and kx. Finally then you factor the first pair of terms and the second pair of terms. In this problem...
2k^2-5k-18=0
2k^2+4k-9k-18=0
2k(k+2)-9(k+2)=0
(2k-9)(k+2)=0
so k=-2 and 9/2
k=(-2, 4.5)
