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.

How many 3/4s are in 3 2/4
MArishka [77]

Answer:

the answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the whole number (3) to quaters or fraction

3x \frac{4}{4} = \frac{12}{4}

Now, add

\frac{2}{4} + \frac{12}{4} = \frac{14}{4}   Since, we have the same common denominator

now divide

14÷4 =3.5 = 3\frac{2}{4}

Therefore, there are 3 of 3/4 with a remainder of  \frac{2}{4} in 3 \frac{2}{4}.
