Answer: $62

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that someone earned $204 from a job last week and has two relatives with birthdays coming up and wants to

spend the same amount on each of them but still wants to have $80 left.

To calculate the amount of gift spent on each, we have to deduct $80 from $204 firstly. This will be:

= $204 - $80

= $124

This means that the person will spend $124 on both of them, then we divide $124 by 2. This will be:

= $124/2

= $62

The amount spent on each gift will be $62.

X= -b⁺₋ √b²-4ac/2a
x= (-(-2)⁺₋√(-2)²- 4(4)(-5))/2(4)
x= 4 ⁺₋√4+80/8
x= (4⁺₋ 9.165)/8
x= 4+9.165)/8 or x= 4-9.165)/8
x= 1.40 or x= -0.896

Calculus help! Using the mean value theorem!

marta [7]

$f$ is differentiable across its domain, so the MVT says there is some value of $c$ in the open interval $(a,b)$ such that

$f'(c)=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

You have

$f(x)=Ax^2+Bx+C\implies f'(x)=2Ax+B$

so the equation above becomes

$2Ac+B=\dfrac{(Ab^2+Bb+C)-(Aa^2+Ba+C)}{b-a}$

Solve for $c$ .

$2Ac+B=\dfrac{A(b^2-a^2)+B(b-a)}{b-a}$
$2Ac+B=A(b+a)+B$
$2Ac=A(b+a)$
$c=\dfrac{b+a}2$

so $c$ is indeed the average of the endpoints, i.e. the midpoint.
