Answer:

84 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

use x to represent the amount of money Laura had when she started shopping.

use y to represent the amount of money she had left after buying a pair of shorts.

You can create these two equations:

3/4x=y

2/3x=42

now, subsitute the value of y into the second equation.

2/3(3/4x)=42

1/2x=42

x=84

If y varies inversely as x and y=32 when x=3, find x when y=15
deff fn [24]
Y=kx, k is not equal to 0
when y=32,x=3, 32=3k
                           k=32/3
so y=32/3*x
when y=15, 15=32/3*x
                     x=45/32

Complete the square to rewrite y = x2 - 6x + 3 in vertex form. Then state
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Given

y = x² - 6x + 3

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 6x

y = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 3

  = (x - 3)² - 6 ← in vertex form

• If a > 0 then vertex is a minimum

• If a < 0 then vertex is a maximum

Here a = 1 > 0, thus

(3, - 6 ) is a minimum
