Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Cchoice B is the correct answer.

Discussion:

As stated by an earlier respondent, choice B is the correct answer. But why?

From the diagram, point B lies between 0 and 1 which means B is positive

From the diagram, point C lies between -1 and -2 which means C is negative

The quotient of a negative number by a positive number is negative, giving the answer as choice c

Regards,

MrB

P.S. I'll be on vacation from Friday, Dec 22 to Jan 2, 2019. Have a Great New Year!

The answer is B because b is positive and C is negative so if you divide it you will get a negative answer

Graham paid $87.45 for a pair of jeans. This amount included a tax of 40%. What was the cost of the jeans before tax?

kiruha [24]

The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

Rewrite this division expression a an equivalent multiplication expression: 5/8 divided by 2/3

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the upside-down fraction.

(5/8) ÷ (2/3) = (5/8) ⋅ (3/2) = 15/16

Y=x^2-6x-16 in vertex form

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$y=(x-3)^{2} -25$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is $y=ax^{2} +bx+c$

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is $y=a(x-h)^{2} +k$

The vertex of a quadratic is (h,k) which is the maximum or minimum of a quadratic equation. To find the vertex of a quadratic, you can either graph the function and find the vertex, or you can find it algebraically.

To find the h-value of the vertex, you use the following equation:

$h=\frac{-b}{2a}$

In this case, our quadratic equation is $y=x^{2} -6x-16$ . Our a-value is 1, our b-value is -6, and our c-value is -16. We will only be using the a and b values. To find the h-value, we will plug in these values into the equation shown below.

$h=\frac{-b}{2a}$ ⇒ $h=\frac{-(-6)}{2(1)}=\frac{6}{2} =3$

Now, that we found our h-value, we need to find our k-value. To find the k-value, you plug in the h-value we found into the given quadratic equation which in this case is $y=x^{2} -6x-16$

$y=x^{2} -6x-16$ ⇒ $y=(3)^{2} -6(3)-16$ ⇒ $y=9-18-16$ ⇒ $y=-25$
