Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage

Y=-1/3x^2-4x-5 in vertex form

grigory [225]

Answer:

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7$ [Vertex form]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5$

We need to find the vertex form which is.,

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

where $(h,k)$ represents the co-ordinates of vertex.

We apply completing square method to do so.

We have

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5$

First of all we make sure that the leading co-efficient is =1.

In order to make the leading co-efficient is =1, we multiply each term with -3.

$-3\times Y=-3\times\frac{1}{3}x^2-(-3)\times4x-(-3)\times 5$

$-3Y=x^2+12x+15$

Isolating $x^2$ and $x$ terms on one side.

Subtracting both sides by 15.

$-3Y-15=x^2+12x-15-15$

$-3Y-15=x^2+12x$

In order to make the right side a perfect square trinomial, we will take half of the co-efficient of $x$ term, square it and add it both sides side.

square of half of the co-efficient of $x$ term = $(\frac{1}{2}\times 12)^2=(6)^2=36$

Adding 36 to both sides.

$-3Y-15+36=x^2+12x+36$

$-3Y+21=x^2+12x+36$

Since $x^2+12x+36$ is a perfect square of $(x+6)$ , so, we can write as:

$-3Y+21=(x+6)^2$

Subtracting 21 to both sides:

$-3Y+21-21=(x+6)^2-21$

$-3Y=(x+6)^2-21$

Dividing both sides by -3.

$\frac{-3Y}{-3}=\frac{(x+6)^2}{-3}-\frac{21}{-3}$

$Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7$ [Vertex form]

What is the sum or difference 6x^7+8x^7

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: 14x^7

You add the coefficients (numbers to the left of the variable terms) to get 6+8 = 14 which is the coefficient of the final answer. The x^7 stays the same. It's like saying "we have 6 apples added to 8 apples, so there are 14 apples overall". Replace "apples" with "x^7" and it's the same idea.
