The answer is (x+6)(x+7)

Note that ( x − a ) ( x − b ) = x 2 − ( a + b ) x + ( a × b )

Also note that 13 = 6 + 7 and 42 = 6 × 7

So x 2 − 13 x + 42 = ( x − 6 ) ( x − 7 )

hope it helps

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 300 wildflowers in the first year that the park s

Scorpion4ik [409]

Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600

The standard form of the equation for a quadratic function is, with he vertex of the graph of the function at the point (p,q). t

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a (x − x₁) (x − x₂)

Expand:

y = a (x² − x₁x − x₂x + x₁x₂)

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + x₁x₂)

Distribute a to the first two terms:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x) + ax₁x₂

Complete the square:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + ¼(x₁ + x₂)²) + ax₁x₂ − ¼ a(x₁ + x₂)²

y = a (x − ½ (x₁ + x₂))² + a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Therefore:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Suppose we want to choose colors, without replacement, from the colors red, blue, green, and purple.

DerKrebs [107]

The number of ways when the choice is not relevant is 4

<h3>How to determine the number of ways?</h3>

The number of colors are:

Colors, n = 4

The color to choose are:

r = 3

<u>Relevant choice</u>

When the choice is relevant, we have:

$Ways = ^nP_r$

This gives

$Ways = ^4P_3$

Evaluate

Ways = 24

Hence, the number of ways when the choice is relevant is 24

<u>Not relevant choice</u>

When the choice is not relevant, we have:

$Ways = ^nC_r$

This gives

$Ways = ^4C_3$

Evaluate

Ways = 4

Hence, the number of ways when the choice is not relevant is 4
