Given the expression:
-x^2+18x-99
to solve by completing squares we proceed as follows:
-x^2+18x-99=0
this can be written as:
-x^2+18x=99
x^2-18x=-99.......i
but
c=(-b/2)²
Hence:
c=(-(-18)/2)²=81
adding 81 in both sides of i we get:
x^2-18x+81=-99+81
factorizing the quadratic we obtain:
(x-9)(x-9)=-18
thus
(x-9)²+18=0
the above takes the vertex form of :
y=(x-k)²+h
where (k,x) is the vertex:
the vertex of our expression is:
(9,18)
hence the maximum point is at (9,18)
NOTE: The vertex gives the maximum point because, from the expression we see that the coefficient of the term that has the highest degree is a negative, and since our polynomial is a quadratic expression then our graph will face down, and this will make the vertex the maximum point.

The diagram shows a 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm cube.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

8.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a 2-two-step Pythagoras theorem. (c^2 = a^2 + b^2)

Consider as such, If I were to draw a diagonal line along the base of the cube what is the length of the diagonal line. To find out that we use the theorem. We can substitute a for 5 and b for 5 as well. So

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 5^2 = c^2

25 + 25 = c^2

√50 = c

Then since the line side of the cube is on a 3d angle we need to do the same process again but now using the imaginary diagonal line that we just calculated and the height (5).

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

√50^2 + 5^2 = c^2

50 + 25 = c^2

√75 = c

c = 8.6602...

<em>when rounded to 1 d.p.</em>

c = 8.7

Line AB is 8.7 cm long.

Find the simultaneous equation x-2y=1,y^2-3xy+8=0​
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

  (-2.2, -1.6), (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't have to go far to find the equations. They are right there in your problem statement. Perhaps you want to find the solutions to the equations.

Use the first equation to write an expression for x, then substitute that into the second equation:

  x = 2y +1

  y^2 -3(2y+1)(y) +8 = 0

  -5y^2 -3y +8 = 0

  -(5y +8)(y -1) = 0

  y = -8/5   or   y = 1

The corresponding values of x are ...

  x = 2(-8/5)+1 = -11/5

  x = 2(1) +1 = 3

The solutions are (x, y) = (-2.2, -1.6) and (3, 1).
