Mary’s yard is a mess. She needs to hire someone to prune her trees and shrubs. A landscaping service she calls quotes her a pri

ce of $15 consultation fee plus $8 an hour for the actual work. Mary’s neighbor has offered to help her out. She doesn’t charge a consultation fee, but does charge $10 an hour for her work. Who do you think Mary should hire for a 3-hour job? When, if at all, would it be more economical to hire the other service. (Set up and solve a system of equations to answer this question.) a. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. b. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. c. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire her neighbor. d. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire her neighbor.

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest and I hoped this helped!

She should ask her neighbor to help her.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use equations to help us figure out this answer.

8x + 15 = y

10x = y

If she has a 3 hour job, we can use 3 instead of x.

8(3) + 15 = y

24 + 15 = y

30 = y for the landscaping service

10(3) = y

30 = y for a neighbors help

It will cost her 9 dollars less, so she should go with the neighbor.

The table shows the time it takes jessica to make rubber band bracelets using a loom. Based on the table how many bracelets can
love history [14]

Answer:

18 rubber band bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 4 bracelets

4.5 hours = ?

4.5 hours/× 4 bracelets

_______

1 hour/

4.5×4 bracelets = 18 bracelets

In an hour Jessica makes four bracelets and in 4.5hours she makes how many bracelets ,we don't know , obviously in 4.5hours she would make more so if more less will divide.

so 4.5hours over 1hour times 4 bracelets. so hour will cancel hour and now 4.5 times 4 bracelets is equal to 18 bracelets

Which equation could be solved using this application of the quadratic formula?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

We need to use the quadratic formula and the given expression to find the values of a, b, and c.

The quadratic formula is

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where the formula has -b, the problem has -2, so b = 2.

Now we have

ax^2 + 2x + c = 0

In the denominator, where the formula has 2a, the problem has 2(1), so a = 1.

Now we have

x^2 + 2x + c = 0

Inside the root, the quadratic formula has -4ac. the problem shows -4(1)(-4). Since we already know that a = 1, then c = -4.

Now we have

x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0

Let's look at choice A.

x^2 + 1 = 2x - 3

Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 3 to both sides.

x^2 - 2x + 4 = 0   <em>This is not it!</em>

Let's look at choice B.

x^2 - 2x - 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0     <em>This is not it!</em>

Let's look at choice C.

x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0     <em>This is it!</em>

Answer: C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

The equation in standard form is 2x^2 + 7x - 15=0. Factoring it gives you (2x-3)(x+5)= 0. That's the first one.  The second one requires you to now your formula for the axis of symmetry which is x = -b/2a with a and b coming from your quadratic.  Your a is -1 and your b is -2, so your axis of symmetry is
x= -(-2)/2(-1) which is x = 2/-2 which is x = -1.  That -1 is the x coordinate of the vertex.  You could plug that back into the equation and solve it for y, which is the easier way, or you could complete the square on the quadratic...let's plug in x to find y.  -(-1)^2 - 2(-1)-1 = 0.  So the vertex is (-1, 0).  That's the first choice given.  For the last one, since it is a negative quadratic it will be a mountain instead of a cup, meaning it doesn't open upwards, it opens downwards.  Those quadratics will ALWAYS have a max value as opposed to a min value which occurs with an upwards opening parabola.  This one is also the first choice because of the way the equation is written.  There is no side to side movement (the lack of parenthesis tells us that) so the x coordinate for the vertex is 0.  The -1 tells us that it has moved down from the origin 1 unit; hence the y coordinate is -1.  The vertex is a max at (0, -1)
