Answer:
The ratio of red to green crayons is 18 to 24 which can be reduced to 3 to 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution :
If 
is the total spending generated after n transactions, then 
is the spending generated during the n-th transaction. Since the government spends D dollars, then 
= D.
Then the second person will receive D dollars and spend 
dollars. Therefore, 
. The next person will receive dollars, which means they are spending 
dollars. Therefore,
....
∴ 
'Vertex form', having just googled it, is another name for completing the square, which I have done extensively at school. This involved converting:
f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c --> f(x) = a(x-b)^2 + c
In the completed-square form, (b, c) are the co-ordinates of the vertex (which is the maximum/minimum point). So for part a:
- Here is the original
f(x) = x^2 + 12x + 11
- Halve the x-coefficient (the number before x) and use it as -b in the vertex form described above. You must then calculate the square of this number and minus it at the end because when you multiply it out, this is the surplus you will make along with x^2 + 12x:
f(x) = (x + 6)^2 - 36 + 11
- Tidy this up by collecting the constant (just number) terms together:
f(x) = (x + 6)^2 - 25
- Using the form a(x - b)^2 + c, we can work out that b = -6 (because -b = 6) and c = -25. This gives us the vertex (-6, -25) which is a minimum point because the graph is a positive quadratic, giving us the characteristing 'U' shape which has a bottom. If it were a negative quadratic (denoted by a negative x^2 coefficient), the vertex will be a maximum point because it has an 'n' shape instead.
- To solve the equation from here, make the function equal to zero:
(x + 6)^2 - 25 = 0
- Then take 25 to the other side:
(x + 6)^2 = 25
- Next, square-root both sides:
x + 6 = <span>±5
- Rearrange to finish:
x = -6 </span><span>± 5 = -1 or -11
- Therefore, the roots (solutions) to the equation x^2 + 12x + 11 = 0 are x = -1 or -11
This method will work the same for the other equations up there too, so I will leave them for you to do.
I hope this helps

try that, might be right.
Y - 4 = 5/2(x + 3)....slope here is 5/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/5 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)
I am not sure what form u need this in...so I will write a few...
point-slope form :
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -2/5
(-3,4)....x1 = -3 and y1 = 4
now we sub
y - 4 = -2/5(x - (-3) =
y - 4 = -2/5(x + 3) <== point slope form
y - 4 = -2/5(x + 3)
y = -2/5x - 6/5 + 4
y = -2/5x - 6/5 + 20/5
y = -2/5x + 14/5 <== slope intercept form
y = -2/5x + 14/5
2/5x + y = 14/5...multiply by 5
2x + 5y = 14 <== standard form
