A² - 2a - 15
= a² - 5a + 3a - 15
= a(a-5) + 3(a-5)
= (a-5)(a+3)

A local car wash is open 8 hours each day. It uses 1/3 of a container of wax for each car. The car wash waxes an average of 8 1/
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

22.67 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cars washed is the average by the total hours worked:

C_{total}=\bar xt,\bar x=8.5,t=8\\\\C_{total}=8.5\times 8=68

Given that each car uses 1/3 tin of wax, the total containers is calculated as:

Containers=\bar x_c n,n=68,\bar x_c=\frac{1}{3}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 68\\\\=22.67

Hence, the car wash uses 22.67 containers of wax per day.

Can anyone tell me what this graph is in slope intercept form?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

the standard form equation is 1/2x^2-x-3/2=0

the vertex form equation is  1/2(x-1)^2-2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately, this can't be written in slope intercept form but I can write it in standard form(ax^2+bx+c) or vertex form (a(x-h)+k)

The vertex is (1,-2)

I estimate a=1/2 because the graph was widened and that can only be done by a fraction.

So, 1/2(x-1)^2-2=0

To find it in standard form

foil (x-1)(x-1)= x^2-2x+1

Then multiply by 1/2(x^2-2x+1)= 1/2x^2-x+1/2-2

To add 1/2-2. You mulitply -2 by 2/2 which equals 1/2-4/2 which equals -3/2

So the standard form equation is 1/2x^2-x-3/2=0
