If we set the equation equal to 0, we can factor it to find its roots:
x² + 4x + 4 = 0
(x + 2)(x + 2) = 0
x = -2
This graph has one root, a double root, at -2. This means that a single point, which must be the vertex of the parabola, touches the x-axis at (-2, 0)
Answer:
He and each of his sisters will recieve 1/4 of the pizza
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6(x-1)=4
(x-1)=(4*6)/5
x-1=24/5
x=24/5 + 1
least common multiple=5
x=(24+1*5)/5
x=29/5
Answer: x=29/5
To check:
5/6(x-1)=5/6(29/5 -1)=5/6[(29-5)/5]=5/6(24/5)=(5*24)/(6*5)=120/30=4
Answer:
after 10 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of months and y be the amount they still owe.
Sin Ian borrows $1000 from his parents, then the y-intercept b= 1000 since he owes $1000 when x = 0. He pays them back $60 each month The slope is then m = -60 . Substituting in b = 1000 and m = -60 into the slope-intercept form of a line then gives y= mx + b=-60x +1000.
Sin Ken borrows $600 from his parents, then the y-intercept b = 600 since he owes $600 When x= 0. He pays them back $20 per month so the amount he owes decreases $20 each month. The slope is then m = -20 . Substituting in
b= 600 and m = -20 into the slope-intercept form then gives y = mx +b = -20x + 600.
They will owe the same amount when they have the same y-coordinate. Therefore -60x+ 1000= y= -20x+600. Solve this equation for x:
-60x+ 1000 = -20x+ 600
1000 = 40x+ 600
400 = 40x
10=x
They will then owe the same amount after 10 months.
