Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation of the quadratic function is,
y = x² + 5x - 7
Convert this equation into vertex form,
y = x² + 2(2.5x) - 7
= x² + 2(2.5x) + (2.5)² - (2.5)² - 7
= (x + 2.5)²- 6.25 - 7
= (x + 2.5)² - 13.25
Therefore, vertex of the function is → (-2.5, -13.25)
For the solutions,
y = 0
(x + 2.5)² - 13.25 = 0
x = (±√13.25) - 2.5
x = (±3.64) - 2.5
x = 1.14, -6.14
Solutions → (-6.14, 0) and (1.14, 0)
Answer:
5(9b + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite 45 as 5 * 9
Rewrite 40 as 5 * 8
= 5 * 9b + 5 * 8
Factor out common term 5
=5 (9b + 8)
Let Cameron be x years old now.
-
<u>Now:</u>
Cameron = x
Uncle =3x
-
<u>4 years ago:</u>
Cameron = x - 4
Uncle = 3x - 4
-
<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
-
<u>Find x:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
3x - 4 = 4x - 16
4x - 3x = 16 - 4
x = 12
-
<u>Find the age:</u>
Cameron = x = 12
-
Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
