Answer:

y = 2(x - 2)² + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Given

y = 2x² - 8x + 9

Using the method of completing the square

Factor out 2 from the first 2 terms

y = 2(x² - 4x) + 9

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x

y = 2(x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4) + 9

= 2(x - 2)² - 8 + 9

= 2(x - 2)² + 1 ← in vertex form

Simplify the rational expression. state any restrictions on the variable. n^4-11n^2+30/n^4-7n^2+10

Andrej [43]

For this case we have the following expression:
 $\frac{n ^ 4-11n ^ 2 + 30}{ n ^ 4-7n ^ 2 + 10} 

$
 We are going to make the following change of variables:
 $x = n ^ 2
$
Rewriting the expression we have:
 $\frac{(x ^ 2-11x + 30)}{(x ^ 2-7x + 10)} 

$
Factoring the expression we have:
 $\frac{(x-5) (x-6)}{(x-5) (x-6)} 
$
Canceling similar terms we have:
 $\frac{x-6}{x-2} 
$
Returning the change we have:
 $\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2} 

$
 The resctrictions of the function are those that make the denominator equal to zero.
We have then:
 $n ^ 2-2 = 0

n = +/- \sqrt{2} 
$
 Answer:
The simplified expression is:
 $\frac{n ^ 2-6}{n ^ 2-2}$
The restrictions are:
 $n = \sqrt{2} 
$
$n = - \sqrt{2}$

Write the following comparison as a ratio reduced to lowest terms. 114 hours to 13 days

kicyunya [14]

The ratio of 114 hours to 13 days is 19:52.

<h3>How to calculate the ratio?</h3>

It should be noted that ratio is simply used to show the comparison between two things that are illustrated.

In this case, we want to calculate the ratio of 114 hours to 13 days. It should be noted that 24 hours make one day. Therefore, 13 days will be:

= 13 × 24 = 312 hours.

The ratio of 114 hours to 13 days will be:

= 114 / 312

= 19 / 52

The ratio is 19:52.

Can someone please help?!

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Plot the points (0,0) and (1,3) to make the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a linear equation is y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We can see that the slope is m=3, and there is no b meaning b=0. Since the y-intercept is 0 we can start from the origin (0,0). The slope is 3/1 or known as rise/run. You go up 3 and go right 1, making the second point (1,3). This should work.
