Answer: $450
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Amount borrowed = $450
Amount charged per lawn = $35
Operating cost per lawn = $8
Jimmy's cost (C(x)) :
Amount borrowed + operating cost
If x lawns are mowed :
$450 + $8 per lawn
$450 + $8x
C(x) = 450 + 8x
Intercept (value of y when x = 0
Value of C(x) ; when x = 0
C(x) = 450 + 8(0)
C(x) = 450 + 0
C(x) = 450
The answer is down the page under ANSWER. here is a quick explanation first.
okay, i assume your equation is actually like this:
minus x squared plus 4 x minus
note: the proper way to type this electronically is: -x^2 + 4x - 2.
The equation you gave is known as a quadratic equation.
if you think about it, the generic (general) way of writing this quadratic equation is:
ax^2 + bx + c
a, b and c are just numbers
eg.
2x^2 + 7x + 4
looking at the general equation above
a is 2
b is 7
c is 4
you can put negatives in as well, to find out a, b and c
eg
-2x^2 - 6x - 12
so, what is a b and c?
a is -2 (must say its negative)
b is - 6 (must say negative)
c is - 12 ( again, remember its a negative number)
ANSWER
IF YOU JUST WANT THE ANSWER.
THE DISCRIMINANT IS:
4 squared minus (4 times -1 times -2)
this is 16 - 8
solution of discriminant is 8
explanation:
so, now we cleared that up.
in any quadratic equation ( like the equation you gave), the discriminant is (in general)
b2 - 4ac
use this to solve it for any quadratic equation for the discriminant
Answer:
12.50y
Step-by-step explanation:
- If 1 ltr=12.50
- what about y ltrs
Therefore, 1 ltr= 12.50
y ltrs=?
you do cross multiplication
hence, 12.50 × y= 12.50y
total cost= sh.(12.50y)
