Answer:

a) Discrete

b) Continuous

c) Continuous

d) Discrete

e) Continous

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous:

Real numbers, can be integer, decimal, etc.

Discrete:

Only integer(countable values). So can be 0,1,2...

(a) number of traffic fatalities per year in the state of Florida

You cannot have half of a traffic fatality, for example. So this is discrete

(b) distance a golf ball travels after being hit with a driver

The ball can travel 10.25m, for example, which is a decimal number. So this is continuous.

(c) time required to drive from home to college on any given day

You can take 10.5 minutes, for example, which is a decimal value. So this is continuous.

(d) number of ships in Pearl Harbor on any given day

There is no half ship, for example. So this is discrete.

(e) your weight before breakfast each morning continuous discrete

You can weigh 80.4kg, for example, which is a decimal number. So this is continuous.

The function p(x) = –8x2 – 64x can be written in vertex form p(x) = a(x – h)2 + k, where a =

nydimaria [60]

Means compplete the square on one side

basically get into form $f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$

ok, group x terms
$p(x)=(-8x^2-64x)$
factor out linear coefient (-8)
$p(x)=-8(x^2+8x)$
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
8/2=4, 4^2=16
add positive and negaitve of that inside parntheaese
$p(x)=-8(x^2+8x+16-16)$
factor perfect square
$p(x)=-8((x+4)^2-16)$
expand
$p(x)=-8(x+4)^2+128$

in vertex form it is $p(x)=-8(x+4)^2+128$

Answer:

$1)\\\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{a+c}{b},\ if\ b\neq0}\\\\2)\\\boxed{if\ a=\dfrac{63b}{23}\ then\ x\ is\ any\ real \ number}\\\\\boxed{if\ a\neq\dfrac{63b}{23}\ then\ x\ not\ exist\ (no\ solution)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1)\\a-(a+b)x=(b-a)x-(c+bx)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a-ax-bx=bx-ax-c-bx\qquad\text{cancel}\ bx\ \text{on the right side}\\\\a-ax-bx=-ax-c\qquad\text{add}\ ax\ \text{to both sides}\\\\a-bx=-c\qquad\text{subtract}\ a\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-bx=-a-c\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ -b\neq0\\\\x=\dfrac{-a-c}{-b}\\\\x=\dfrac{a+c}{b}$

$2)\\2(3x-5a)+9(2a-7b)+3(5a-2x)=0\\\\\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(2)(3x)+(2)(-5a)+(9)(2a)+(9)(-7b)+(3)(5a)+(3)(-2x)=0\\\\6x-10a+18a-63b+15a-6x=0\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(6x-6x)+(-10a+18a+15a)-63b=0\\\\23a-63b=0\qquad\text{add}\ 63b\ \text{to both sides}\\\\23a=63b\qquad\text{divide both sides by 23}\\\\a=\dfrac{63b}{23}\\\\if\ a=\dfrac{63b}{23}\ then\ x\ is\ any\ real \ number\\\\if\ a\neq\dfrac{63b}{23}\ then\ x\ not\ exist\ (no\ solution)$
