the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.
the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex
well
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the original number from the new number: 90-75=15
The increase is 15
Now divide the increase by the original number: 15/75=.20
Then multiply your answer by 100: .20x100=20
The mistake is there is no parenthesis around 4x+12
Answer:
False, there are no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x+4
y = 2x+10
The slopes are the same (2) but the y intercepts are different
These lines are parallel with different intercepts
They will never intersect so there are no solutions
Answer:
1.30 p.M.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factory whistle blowed at 1:00 p.M, and it blows every 30 minutes, so it will blow again at 1:30 p.M.
The clock tower chimed at 1.00 p.M., and it chimes every 15 minutes, so it will chime again at 1:15 p.M, and after that, it will chime again at 1:30 p.M.
So, you will hear them both at the same time at 1:30 p.M.
We can also solve this problem using LCM:
the least commom multiple between 15 and 30 is 30, so we just need to sum 30 to the inicial time (1:00 p.M.), so the time they will "find each other" again is 1.30 p.M.
