Answer:
f(x) = (x -6)² +14
Step-by-step explanation:
Completing the square involves writing part of the function as a perfect square trinomial.
<h3>Perfect square trinomial</h3>
The square of a binomial results in a perfect square trinomial:
(x -h)² = x² -2hx +h²
The constant term (h²) in this trinomial is the square of half the coefficient of the linear term: h² = ((-2h)/2)².
<h3>Completing the square</h3>
One way to "complete the square" is to add and subtract the constant necessary to make a perfect square trinomial from the variable terms.
Here, we recognize the coefficient of the linear term is -12, so the necessary constant is (-12/2)² = 36. Adding and subtracting this, we have ...
f(x) = x² -12x +36 +50 -36
Rearranging into the desired form, this is ...
f(x) = (x -6)² +14

<em>Additional comment</em>
Another way to achieve the same effect is to split the given constant into two parts, one of which is the constant necessary to complete the square.
f(x) = x² -12x +(36 +14)
f(x) = (x² -12x +36) +14
f(x) = (x -6)² +14

They would sell the candy for 2 dollars and 30 cents
Answer:
- after week 7: 4374 pennies
- 486 pennies: after week 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence values have a first term of 6 and a common ratio of 3, so can be described by the formula ...
an = 6·3^(n-1)
This can be rearranged to ...
an = 2·3^n
__
When n=7, the value is ...
a7 = 2·3^7 = 4374 . . . . pennies saved after 7 weeks
__
To find when there are 486 pennies saved, we can solve the equation ...
486 = 2·3^n
243 = 3^n
log(243) = n·log(3) . . . . . . . take the logarithm
log(243)/log(3) = n = 5 . . . . divide by the coefficient of n
Tabitha will have saved 486 pennies after 5 weeks.
