let 


x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box


the total number of party favors is 1,552


27x + y = 1,552


since 1552 = 57*27 + 13


if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.

Solve x2 = 12x - 15 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(6-√21,  6+√21)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 12x = -15

(x - 6)^2 - 36 = -15

(x - 6)^2 = 21

x - 6 = ± √21

x = 6  ± √21

The curve with equation y=ax^2+bx has a gradient of 3 at the point (2,-2). Find the values of a and b.
Airida [17]

Answer:

a = 2, b = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = ax² + bx

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope at x = a

Differentiate each term with respect to x using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx}(ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax + b, hence

2ax + b = 3 at (2, - 2)

Substitute x = 2 into \frac{dy}{dx}

4a + b = 3 → (1) and substitute x = 2 into y

4a + 2b = - 2 → (2)

Subtract ( 1) from (2)

b = - 2 - 3 = - 5

Substitute b = - 5 into (1)

4a - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

4a = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2

2x+6 - х -4

2x - x = - 4 - 6

x=-10

20x - 8 = 18x +6

20x - 18x = 6 +8

2x = 14

x=7
