2x^2-8x-24=0
Divide the whole equation by 2.
x^2-4x-12=0
Complete the square
x^2-4x+4-16=0
(x-2)^2 -16=0
(x-2)^2=16
Take the square root of each side.
(x-2)=4 and (-(x-2))=4

An easy formula to use for this is -b+-√b^2-4(a×c)] /2(a) . This gave me ;

8+-√-8^2-4(2(-24)) /2(2)

8+-√64-4(-48)/4

8+-√64+192]/4

8+-√256]/4

8+-16/4

8+16=24/4=6

8-16=-8/4=-2

X=6&-2

The equation y-2= 5/4 (x + 8) represents the cost (in dollars) of making your own fruit juice (fluid ounces) a. What is the slop
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a. The slope is 5/4

b. The equation in slope and intercept form is y = 5/4·x + 12

c. The base cost of making a fruit juice is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that gives the cost in dollars of making your own fruit juice is given as follows;

y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)

a. The slope = The coefficient of x = 5/4

The slope = 5/4

b. The equation can be presented in slope and intercept form, y = m·x + c, as follows;

y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)

y = 5/4·x + 10 + 2

y = 5/4·x + 12

c. The base cost of making a fruit juice = The cost added to any quantity of fruit, x made = The y-intercept, c = 12

The base cost of making a fruit juice = $12.
