Answer:

You would go $2.60/s

then when you have your total number of students you take the total cost and divide that by the number of students that you have to figure out the cost of crackers for each student

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

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

Rough work

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

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

• A car uses 30 gallons of gasoline for a trip of 800 miles. How many gallons would

nevsk [136]

Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 800 miles = 30 gallons

Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 1 mile =

= 30 ÷ 800

= 0.0375 gallons

So , to run 1 mile a car would need = 0.0375 gallons of oil

To run 700 miles the quantity of gasoline needed =

= 700 × 0.0375

= 26.25 gallons of gasoline

Therefore , a car will use 26.25 gallons of gasoline on a trip of 700 miles .
