Their distance differs by 15 miles for each hour of travel time. Thus, the travel time of interest is
.. (180 -144) miles/(15 miles/hour) = 2.4 hour

The red car's speed is 180 mi/(2.4 h) = 75 mi/h.
The blue car's speed is 144 mi/(2.4 h) = 60 mi/h.

Which equation reveals the minimum or the maximum value of f(x) without changing the form of the equation?
erik [133]

Answer:

A): f(x) = (x – 1)² + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function, f(x) = (x – 1)² + 2 is in <u>vertex form</u>: y = a(x - h)² + k, where:

  • The vertex of the graph is (h,k).
  • The value of <em>a</em> determines whether the graph opens up or down. If <em>a</em><em> </em>is <u>positive</u>, the graph opens up and the vertex is its minimum point. If <em>a </em>is <u>negative</u>, then the graph opens down, and the vertex is its maximum point.
  • The value of <em>h</em> determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.
  • The value of<em> k</em> determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

The function, f(x) = (x – 1)² + 2, provides the pertinent information that allows us to determine the parabola's <u>minimum value</u>, as the value of <em>a</em> is a <u>positive</u>, which implies that the parabola is <em>upward facing</em>, and the vertex, (1, 2) is the minimum point.

The number of mosquitoes M(x), in millions, in a certain area depends on the June rainfall x, in inches: M(x) = 13 x - x2. What
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

M(x)=13x-x^2                   .... (1)

where, M(x) is number of mosquitoes in millions and x the June rainfall in inches.

We need to find the rainfall that produces the maximum number of mosquitoes.

Differential the above function with respect to x.

M'(x)=13-2x               .... (2)

Equate first derivative equal to 0.

13-2x=0

2x=13

x=\frac{13}{2}=6.5

Differential function (2) with respect to x.

M''(x)=-2

Double derivative is negative. So, the value of function is maximum at x=6.5.

Therefore, the number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.

How do you solve with all the steps?<br> |-2(x+2)|=1
Tanya [424]

Answer:

x = - 5/2 or x = - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

|-2(x+2|=1

|-2x-4|=1

- 2x - 4 = 1 or - 2x - 4 = - 1

- 2x - 4 = 1

- 2x = 4+1

x = - 5/2

or -2x - 4 = - 1

-2x = 4 - 1

x = - 3/2
