Answer:

The minimum y-value is

$y=-\frac{31}{4}$ or $y=-7.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=7x^{2}+7x-6$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open up

The vertex is the minimum y-value on the graph

Convert the equation into vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)+6=7x^{2}+7x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)+6=7(x^{2}+x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)+6+1.75=7(x^{2}+x+0.25)$

$f(x)+7.75=7(x^{2}+x+0.25)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)+7.75=7(x+0.5)^{2}$

$f(x)=7(x+0.5)^{2}-7.75$ ------> equation in vertex form

The vertex is the point (-0.5,-7.75)

therefore

The minimum is the point (-0.5,-7.75)

The minimum y-value is $y=-7.75=-7\frac{3}{4}=-\frac{31}{4}$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

A 35 pound dog eats an average of 2 1/2 cups of dry dog food a day. If you assume that there is a relationship between size and

zimovet [89]

70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.

2 x 2.5 = 5 cups

Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.

By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.

Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.

cora says she doesn't need to know the y-intercept of a line to write its equation, just its slope and some other point on the l

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The equation of line with given slope that include given points is 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Cora , if we know the slope and points on a line then we can write the equation of a line .

Since , The equation of line in slope-intercept form is

y = m x + c

<u>Where m is the slope of line , and if we know the points ( x , y ) which satisfy the line then constant term c can be get and the equation of line can be formed .</u>

So , From the statement said above it is clear that she is correct .

Now , Again

Given as :

Slope of a line is m = - $\frac{1}{3}$

That include points ( 2 , 6 )

Now from the equation of line as y = m x + c

∴ 6 = - $\frac{1}{3}$ ( 2 ) + c

Or, 6 = - $\frac{2}{3}$ + c

So , c = 6 + $\frac{2}{3}$

or, c = $\frac{18 + 2}{3}$

∴ c = $\frac{20}{3}$

So, The equation of line can be written as

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x + $\frac{20}{3}$

Or, 3 y = - x + 20

I.e 3 y + x - 20 = 0

Hence The equation of line with given slope that include given points is 3 y + x - 20 = 0 Answer
