To find it it is
ax^2+bx+c
if the first term (a) is 1 then c=b/2
b=-1/4
(-1/4)/2=-1/4 times 1/2=-1/8

k=-1/8

How do I solve this equation
Anestetic [448]
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1

Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts.  First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable.  I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.

-x - y = 8      add y to each side
-x = 8 + y      divide by -1
x = -8 - y

So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation.  In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.

2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1      multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1      combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1            add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15                   divide each side by -3
y = -5

Now we have a value for y.  We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x.  I usually choose the most simple equation.

-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8            multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8                subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3                      divide each side by -1
x = -3

So our solution set is

(-3, -5)

That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.

How do i figure out 9 1/6 - 8 5/6<br> and 10 3/4 - 6 4/4?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1) 9\frac{1}{6}-8\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

2) 10\frac{3}{4}-6\frac{4}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

You can convert he mixed numbers to improper fractions:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.

2. Add the product obtained to the numerator.

3. The denominator does not change.

Then:

9\frac{1}{6}=\frac{54+1}{6}=\frac{55}{6}\\\\8\frac{5}{6}=\frac{48+5}{6}=\frac{53}{6}\\\\10\frac{3}{4}=\frac{40+3}{4}=\frac{43}{4}\\\\6\frac{4}{4}=\frac{24+4}{4}=\frac{28}{4}

Observe that, in each subtraction, the denominators are equal, then you can rewrite the denominator and subtract the numerators:

1)\ \frac{55}{6}-\frac{53}{6}=\frac{55-53}{6}= \frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3} \\\\2)\ \frac{43}{4}-\frac{28}{4}=\frac{43-28}{4}= \frac{15}{4}

Divide 15 by 4. The quotient will be 3 and the remainder 3.

Then:

\frac{15}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}
