The height of water shooting from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = −0.2x2 − 2.8x − 5.4 where x is the distance from

the spout in feet. Complete the square to determine the maximum height of the path of the water.
A: −0.2(x + 7)2 + 5.4; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.
B: −0.2(x + 7)2 + 5.4; The maximum height of the water is 5.4 feet.
C: −0.2(x + 7)2 + 4.4; The maximum height of the water is 4.4 feet.
D: −0.2(x + 7)2 + 4.4; The maximum height of the water is 7 feet.

Start by setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the -5.4 over to the other side of the equals sign.  -.2 x^{2} -2.8x=5.4.  The first rule for completing the square is that the leading coefficient be a +1.  Ours is a -.2.  So we need to factor it out. -.2( x^{2} +14x)=5.4.  Now we will take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 14.  Half of 14 is 7, and 7 squared is 49.  So we add 49 in to the left side just fine, but we cannot forget about that -.2 hanging around out front as a multiplier.  What we have actually "added" in is -.2*49 which is -9.8.  Now here's what we have after all that: -.2( x^{2} +14x+49)=5.4-9.8.  In that process, we have created a perfect square binomial on the left.  Along with expressing that binomial we will do the math on the right: -.2(x+7) ^{2} =-4.4.  Now we will move the -4.4 back over by addition, and it will then be apparent as to what our vertex is.  The y coordinate of the vertex will give us the max height of the water.  -.2(x+7) +4.4=y.  As you can see, our work matches choice C from above.

How do you draw a model that shows decimal 1.7
Pie

Answer:

We can model the decimal number 1.7 by drawing two squares and divide each of the two squares into 10 equal parts.

Then we start shading the square such that the first square is fully shaded and in the second square we shade 7 out of the 10 parts such that 0.7 of the figure is shaded.

Hence, the total portion of the figures that are shaded are:

1+0.7=1.7

A bar of soap weighs as much as 3/4 of an identical bar plus 3/4 of a pound. How much does the bar of soap weigh?
Advocard [28]
3/4=0.75
Since 3/4 (of the bar) + 1/4 (of the bar) equals a whole bar (1), and 3/4 (of the bar) + 0.75 equals the whole weight of the bar, 0.75 is 1/4 of the bar. 1/4 times 4 equals 1, and 0.75 times 4 equals 3, so the bar of soap weighs 3 pounds.

PLEASE ANSWER I WILL MARK THE BRAINIEST ANSWER :)<br><br>factorise: X^2 + 10x + 16
Damm [24]

Answer:

(x+2)(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)find factors of the third expression(16)that will add up to give the second expression(10)

16=2×8. 10=2+8

2.)substitute those factors inplace of 10

{x}^{2}  + 10x + 16

x {}^{2}  + 2x + 8x + 16

3.)factorise using grouping method

( {x}^{2}  + 2x) + (8x + 16)

x(x + 2) + 8(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x + 8)

Which statement(s) could describe the graph of a nonproportional relationship? Select all that apply​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A. The positive y-intercept.

D. The y-intercept is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportional relationship is defined by the graph passing through the origin i.e. the y-intercept is equal to zero.

The equation of y proportional to x relationship is y = kx, which again denotes that the graph passes through the origin (0,0).

Now, the statements that can describe the graph of a non-proportional relationship are  

A. The positive y-intercept.

D. The y-intercept is negative. (Answer)
