Adam is 9 years old and Bob is 6. Twice Bob’s age is 12, three years younger than that is 9. If Adam is 9 now then in five years, Adam will be 14, which is 8 more than 6.

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: the similar paper appears to be 2 times larger then Fransicos since 38/19=2, so I did 14 1/3*2 which equals 28 2/3, so the answer is B

Write the quadratic function in the form g(x)=a (x-h)2 +kThen, give the vertex of its graph. G(x) =2x2 +20x+49Writing in the for

Snezhnost [94]

The quadratic function given to us is:

$g(x)=2x^2+20x+49$

We are asked to find the vertex form of the function.

The general formula for the vertex form of a quadratic equation is:

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=a(x-h)^2+k \\ \text{where,} \\ (h,k)\text{ is the coordinate of the vertex} \end{gathered}$

In order to write the function in its vertex form, we need to perform a couple of operations on the function.

1. Add and subtract the square of the half of the coefficient of x to the function.

2. Factor out the function with its repeated roots and re-write the equation.

Now, let us solve.

1. Add and subtract the square of the half of the coefficient of x to the function.

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=2x^2+20x+49=2(x^2+10x+\frac{49}{2}) \\ \text{half of coefficient of x:} \\ \frac{10}{2}=5 \\ \text{square of the half of the coefficient of x:} \\ 5^2=25 \\ \\ \therefore g(x)=2(x^2+10x+25-25+\frac{49}{2}) \end{gathered}$

2. Factor out the function with its repeated roots and re-write the equation.

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=2(x^2+10x+25)-2(25+\frac{49}{2}) \\ re-\text{write the above function} \\ g(x)=2(x^2+10x+25)-1 \\ \text{Let us factorize this:} \\ g(x)=2(x+5)^2-1 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the Equation and vertex of the equation is:

$\begin{gathered} Equation\colon g(x)=2(x+5)^2-1 \\ \\ Vertex\colon(-5,-1) \end{gathered}$

A company is manufacturing an open-top rectangular box. They have 30 cm by 16 cm sheets of material. The bins are made by cuttin

Natalija [7]

Answer:

a. (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x. b. length 21.2 cm , width = 7.2 cm and height x = 4.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x be the side of the squares to be cut from each corner. Since we have two corners on each side, the length of the resulting box from the 30 cm by 16 cm sheet is L = 30 - 2x. Its breadth is B = 16 - 2x. The height of the resulting box is x. So its volume V = LBx = (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x.

b. To find the maximum value of V, we differentiate V with respect to x and equate it to zero.

So, dV/dx = 0

d(30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x/dx = 0

-2(16 - 2x)x + (-2)(30 - 2x)x + (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x) = 0

32x + 4x² - 60x - 4x² + 480 - 60x - 32x + 4x² = 0

4x²- 120x + 450 = 0

x²- 30x + 112.5 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find x. So, with a = 1, b = - 15 and c = 112.5,

$x = \frac{-(-30)+/-\sqrt{(-30)^{2} - 4 X 1 X 112.5} }{2 X 1} \\= \frac{30+/-\sqrt{900 - 450} }{2}\\ = \frac{30+/-\sqrt{450} }{2}\\ = \frac{30+/-21.21 }{2}\\\\ = \frac{30+21.21 }{2} or \frac{30-21.21 }{2}\\ = \frac{51.21 }{2} or \frac{8.79}{2}\\ = 25.605 or 4.395$

x ≅ 25.61 or 4.4

V = (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x

Substituting the values of x into L and B, we have )x

L = (30 - 2x) = (30 - 2(25.61)) = 30 - 51.22 = -21.22

B = (16 - 2x) = (16 - 2(25.61)) = 16 - 51.22 = -35.22

Since L and B cannot be negative, we use the other value for x = 4.4, So

L = (30 - 2x) = (30 - 2(4.4)) = 30 - 8.8 = 21.2

B = (16 - 2x) = (16 - 2(4.4)) = 16 - 8.8 = 7.2

So V = LBx = 21.2 × 7.2 × 4.4 = 671.62 cm³
