You need to do the inverse calculation. So basically, you just need to take the number after the =, which is -8.6, and the number before (-6.8) and take them away. So you would do
- 8.6
- - 6.8
-----------
???

Hope this helps and you can now work out!!

HURRYYYYYYYYY!! What is the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (2, 25) and an x-intercept at (7,0)?

tangare [24]

Answer:

$y=-(x-7)(x+3)$

which is none of the choices provided.

Are you sure the question is right or even the choices?

You can even write it as:

$y=-(x+3)(x-7)$ but this is still not a choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a quadratic is $y=a(x-h)^2+k$ .

This is called vertex form because it gives you the vertex is $(h,k)$ .

We are given that $(h,k)=(2,25)$ which makes our equation:

$y=a(x-2)^2+25$ .

We can find the value of $a$ by plugging in the x-intercept (7,0) for $(x,y)$ into:

$y=a(x-2)^2+25$

$0=a(7-2)^2+25$

$0=a(5)^2+25$

Subtract 25 on both sides:

$-25=a(5)^2$

$-25=a(25)$

Divide both sides by 25:

$\frac{-25}{25}=a$

$-1=a$ .

So the equation for the quadratic is:

$y=-1(x-2)^2+25$

Let's put this into factored form since all the choices are in factored form.

This will require us to multiply the (x-2)(x-2) out:

$y=-1(x-2)(x-2)+25$

$y=-1(x^2-2x-2x+4)+25$

$y=-1(x^2-4x+4)+25$

$y=-x^2+4x-4+25$

$y=-x^2+4x+21$

Factor out -1:

$y=-(x^2-4x-21)$

WE need to find two numbers that multiply to be -21 and add to be -4:

$y=-(x-7)(x+3)$

Two numbers multiply together to make 8, but add together to make - 6 What are the two numbers?

Greeley [361]

Answer:

-4 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find all the factors of 8, that would be 1 and 8, -1 and -8, 2 and 4, and -2 and -4.

Then, adding the groups of numbers you have should show you what would equal -6. So 1 + 8 = 9, -1 + (-8) = -9, same vice versa, 2 + 4 = 6, -2 + (-4) = -6. So -2 and -4 would be your two numbers.

A newspaper reported that 4040% of people say that some coffee shops are overpriced. The source of this information was a telep

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a. Identify the population of interest in this study.

all the population of the country

b. Identify the sample for the study.

50 adults (the ones that were surveyed)

c. Identify the parameter of interest in the study.

the parameter of interest is the people that believe that coffee shops are overpriced

d. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the parameter of interest.

z score for a 95% confidence level = 1.96

margin of error (E) = z score x √{[0.4(1 - 0.4)] / 50} = 1.96 x 0.069282 = 0.13579

95% confidence level interval:

0.4 - 0.13579 = 0.26421

0.4 + 0.13579 = 0.53579

95% confidence interval (0.26421 , 0.53579)
