Find the vertex of the parabola. F(x) = 5x^2 - 30x +49

1 answer:

4 0

X=-b/2a is the formula for finding the axis of symmetry
So x= -30/2(5)
X=-30/10
X=-3

Because the axis of symmetry is -3, we know where to place our line, and we also know that the parabola is open downwards, which means that the vertex will be maximum. To find the vertex, plug in your values with the axis of symmetry as a midway point. Plug that in for x and so you should have the following:
F(x)
Y(f(x) and y variables are interchangeable) =5(-3)^2-30(-3)+49

Solve for y(f(x))
5(-3)^2-30(-3)+49
(-3)^2=3^2
3^2*5+30*3+49
Multiply
3^2*5+90+49
Add numbers
3^2*5+139
9*5=45
45+139=184
Y=184

So, your vertex would be
(-3,184) and it would be maximum. From there you can plug in the rest of your table of values.

Imagine a pond. In it sits one lilypad, which reproduces once a day. Each of its offspring also reproduces once a day, doubling

sergeinik [125]

Answer: On the 29th day

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.

On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.

The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are $2^{30}$ lilypads on the 30th, and $2^{29}$ lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.

Nathaniel has $2 worth of dimes and quarters. He has 6 more dimes than quarters. By following the steps below, determine the num

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

10 dimes and 4 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of dimes = d, each d = 10 c
Number of quarters = q, each q = 25 c
Total = $2 = 200 c

Equations according the given:

10d + 25q = 200
d = q + 6

Solve for q by substitution:

10(q + 6) + 25q = 200
10q + 60 + 25q = 200
35q = 140
q = 140/35
q = 4

Find the value of d:

d = 4 + 6 = 10

Nathaniel has 10 dimes and 4 quarters

Find the value of x. Round you answer to the nearest tenth. 20 18 X

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

21.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of an isosceles triangle bisects the base. So, x represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 9 and 20. It can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = 9^2 +20^2 = 81 +400

x = √481 ≈ 21.932

The length x is about 21.9 units.

In the trapezoid below, x = [ ? ]. 2x+6 I 5x=20 4r+2

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of x, we use the mid-segment theorem of trapezoid

The theorem is that the mid-segment is half the sum of the other two segments

We have this as

;

5x - 20 = 1/2(2x + 6 + 4x + 2)

2(5x-20) = 6x + 8

5x -20 = 3x + 4

5x -3x = 4 + 20

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12
