Answer:
10−12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 4x^2 + 8x − 5
To find the x intercepts set y = 0
0 =4x^2 + 8x − 5
Factor
0=(2x-1)(2x+5)
Using the zero product property
2x-1 =0 2x+5 =0
2x=1 2x = -5
x = 1/2 x = -5/2
The x intercepts are ( 1/2 ,0) and ( -5/2,0)
Rewriting in vertex form by completing the square
4 ( x^2 + 2x) -5
4 ( x^2+2x +1) -4*1 -5
4 ( x+1) ^2 -9
Vertex form is
a( x-h) ^2 +k where ( h,k) is the vertex
The vertex is ( -1,-9)
We know it opens upwards since a > 0
Plot the vertex and the x intercepts
The graph is symmetric on based on the vertex
Answer: B.
First, we have to have a question for this problem to create a solution. So, the example sentence is how many granola bars does each student get.
Second, an algebraic expression has a variable in it. So since we are trying to find the number of students, the variable is s.
From looking at C and D, we can already eliminate them. This question has mostly multiplication and division words in it, so it can't be addition and multiplication.
Now, we only have A and B left. A tip on how to figure this out is reading the word problem out thoroughly. I will use B as an example. 5 boxes of granola bars were multiplied by the number of granola bars each student got. From reading this, it makes more sense. But it does change the example sentence, though.
I hope this helped and this is the right answer!
The ratio is 5:39. We cannot simplify it, so the odds are 5:39.
