Answer:

60 times will they ring together at the same second in one hour excluding the one at the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Five bells begin to ring together and they ring at intervals of 3, 6, 10, 12 and 15 seconds, respectively.

To find : How many times will they ring together at the same second in one hour excluding the one at the end?

Solution :

First we find the LCM of 3, 6, 10, 12 and 15.

2 | 3  6  10  12  15

2 | 3  3   5   6  15

3 | 3  3   5   3  15

5 | 1    1  5   1    5

  | 1    1   1   1     1

LCM(3, 6, 10, 12,15)=2\times 2\times 3\times 5

LCM(3, 6, 10, 12,15)=60

So, the bells will ring together after every 60 seconds i.e. 1 minutes.

i.e. in 1 minute they rand together 1 time.

We know, 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, in 60 minute they rang together 60 times.

Therefore, 60 times will they ring together at the same second in one hour excluding the one at the end.

Express each of the following quadratic functions in the form of f(x) = a (x - h)²+ k.Then,state the minimum or maximum value,ax
Ivan

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=-2x^2+7x+4

To find:

Express the quadratic equation in the form of f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k, then state the minimum or maximum value,axis of symmetry and minimum or maximum point.

Solution:

The vertex form of a quadratic function is:

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k              ...(i)

Where, a is a constant, (h,k) is the vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.

We have,

f(x)=-2x^2+7x+4

It can be written as:

f(x)=-2\left(x^2-3.5x\right)+4

Adding and subtracting square of half of coefficient of x inside the parenthesis, we get

f(x)=-2\left(x^2-3.5x+(\dfrac{3.5}{2})^2-(\dfrac{3.5}{2})^2\right)+4

f(x)=-2\left(x^2-3.5x+(1.75)^2\right)-2\left(-(1.75)^2\right)+4

f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+2(3.0625)+4

f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+6.125+4

f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+10.125                ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

a=-2,h=1.75,k=10.125

Here, a is negative, the given function represents a downward parabola and its vertex is the point of maxima.

Maximum value = 10.125

Axis of symmetry : x=1.75

Maximum point = (1.75,10.125)

Therefore, the vertex form of the given function is f(x)=-2\left(x-1.75\right)^2+10.125, the maximum value is 10.125, the axis of symmetry is x=1.75 and the maximum point is (1.75,10.125).

I am very confused lol... So I'm doing a worksheet for Algebra 1 (highschool) and we're doing division and multiplication with f
evablogger [386]

OK first change 3 3/4 to an improper fraction and that will give you  15/4. so you got that part right.  Next, change the division sign to multiplication. then flip the 1/2 to 2/1.  Then multiply 15 times 2 and that will give you 30. Then multiply 4 times 1 and that will give you 4. then you will have an answer of  30/4. Finally, since you a have a big number over a small number you divide 30 by 4 and that will give you 7 1/2. So it turns out that your little cheat sheet is wrong because when you check your answer you should go on Math-way to check it. Also, a little background about me is that I am in 8th grade and I am taking algebra 1 too.
