Answer:

1. h=3     2. h=1

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to make both sides into perfect square trinomials that you factor into the perfect square of a binomial. The left side is almost there to start with.

ax² + bx + c is the standard equation

1. ( x – h)² + 6 = x² - 6x + 15     subtract 6 from both sides to get ( x – h)² alone

                - 6                 -  6

(x – h)²          = x² - 6x + 9      factor the right side into a perfect square (b/2)

                      here b = -6  so b/2 = -3    so  (x – 3)²

                      (x – 3)² = (x - 3)(x - 3) = FOIL(first, outside, inside, last)

                      (x)(x) + (-3)(x) + (-3)(x) + (-3)(-3) = x² - 3x - 3x + 9

                      =  x² - 6x + 9 =  (x – 3)²   so

(x – h)²   = (x - 3)²  so  h= 3

ax² + bx + c is the standard equation

2. ( x – h)² - 6 = x² - 2x - 5     add 6 to both sides to get ( x – h)² alone

                + 6               + 6

(x – h)²          = x² - 2x + 1     factor the right side into a perfect square (b/2)

                      here b = -2  so b/2 = -1    so  (x – 1)²

                      (x – 1)² = (x - 1)(x - 1) = FOIL(first, outside, inside, last)

                      (x)(x) + (-1)(x) + (-1)(x) + (-1)(-1) = x² - 1x - 1x + 1

                      =  x² - 2x + 1 =  (x – 1)²   so

(x – h)²   = (x - 1)²  so  h= 1

Gina sells 216 cakes in the ratio small :medium:large 5:7:12. The profit for one medium cake is twice the profit for one small c
Rus_ich [418]
To answer this question you need to first set up the small, medium, large number of cakes as a ratio with a total. From here you will create a new ratio of the correct number of small medium and large Cakes sold using the total 216. The factor would be to multiply by nine. -Step 1 in picture. After this you would read what the relationship is between a medium and a small and the large and the small profits are - Step 2 in picture. After this you would represents the total profit based on the number of small medium and large cakes that were sold. Making this equal to L648.45. To find the profit for one small, you would then divide 648.45 by the 495 you got when you simplify the expression. The answer is L1.31.

Find the area pls- i need help
Tresset [83]

Answer:

1. 36 sq un

2. 40 sq un

3. 20 sq un

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for number one is 36 square units because the rectangular area is 24 sq un and the triangular area is 12 sq un so I added them to get 36 sq un. The second answer is 40 sq un because if you cut the shape into 2 shapes you get 2 equal trapezoids. Each trapezoid is 20 sq un so I multiplied it by two to get 40 sq un. The third answer is 20 because the side triangles are 2 sq un each and the square on the bottom is 16 sq un. By the way, sq un means square units lol.
