Find the minimum or maximum of the function y=−x^2+4x−5.

Mathematics

Answer:

maximum value : y = - 1 at (2, -1)

No local minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

The function y=−x^2+4x−5. is a downward opening parabola.

The local maximum is at the vertex

y = - (xx - 4x ) - 5

y = - (xx - 4x +4 - 4) - 5

y = - (xx - 4x + 4) + 4 - 5

y = -(x - 2)^2 - 1

vertex at (2, -1)

An integer is three more than another integer. Twice the larger integer is two less

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The integers are 4 and 7 or -2 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a system of equations with the description of the two integers.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2x + 2 = y^2

The simplest and the fastest way to solve this system in this case is substitution. You can substitute x for y + 3 in the second equation.

1. x = y + 3

2. 2(y + 3) + 2 = y^2

Now simplify and solve the second one. For convenience, I will just disregard the first equation for now.

2y + 6 + 2 = y^2

y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0

You can factor this equation to solve for y.

(y - 4) (y + 2) = 0

y = 4, y = -2

Now we can substitute the value of y for x in the first equation.

x = 7, x = 1

A 20% apple juice drink is mixed with a 100% apple juice drink. The function f(x)=(2)(1.0)+x(0.2)2+x models the concentration of

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

20% apple juice drink is mixed with a 100% apple juice drink.

$f(x)=\dfrac{(2)(0.1)+x(0.2)}{2+x}$

represents the concentration of apple juice in the drink when $x$ gallons of 20% drink are added to 2 gallons of pure juice.

Also, given that 6 gallons of 20% drink are added to the 2 gallons of pure juice.

To find:

The concentration of apple juice in the drink = ?

Solution:

Given the function:

$f(x)=\dfrac{(2)(0.1)+x(0.2)}{2+x}$

and

$x=6\ gallons$

$f(x)=\dfrac{(2)(0.1)+6(0.2)}{2+6}\\\Rightarrow f(x)=\dfrac{0.2+1.2}{8}\\\Rightarrow f(x)=\dfrac{1.4}{8}\\\Rightarrow f(x)=\bold{0.175}$

In percentage, the concentration 17.5.

Factorise fully x^3-x

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$x(x+1)(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that the two terms share an x, so we can pull that out:

$x^3-x=x(x^2-1)$

Now notice that we have a difference of squares ( $x^2-1$ ). Given a difference of squares, $a^2-b^2$ , this can always be factored into $(a+b)(a-b)$ . We can use this in this case: $x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1)$ .

So, our final factorized form is: $x(x+1)(x-1)$ .

Hope this helps!
