Answer:

there are 24 cookies in the 4 boxes

there are 6 cookies in each box

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of cookies in each box

If there are 4 boxes, the total number of cookies in the four boxes are 4x

If a friend brought 1 cookie to add to each box, the friend brought a total of 4 cookies

4x + 4 = 28

Solving for x

4x = 28 - 4

4x = 24

x = 6

Each box contains 6 cookies and there are 24 cookies in 4 boxes

Find the vertex: -4x² + 16x - 7​
guapka [62]

Find the vertex: -4x^2 + 16x - 7​

Vertex = ( x, f(x)).

x = -b/2a

x = -16/2(-4)

x = -16/-8

x = 2

f(x) = -4x^2 + 16x - 7

Let x = 2

f(2) = -4(2)^2 + 16(2) - 7

f(2) = -4(4) + 32 - 7

f(2) = -16 + 32 - 7

f(2) = 16 - 7

f(2) = 9

Vertex = (2, 9)

What is the correct way to write a mathematical problem?​
Zina [86]

Answer:

Label your answer appropriately; if the question asks for measured units, make sure to put appropriate units on the answer. If the question is a word problem, the answer should be in words. In general, write your homework as though you're trying to convince someone that you know what you're talking about.

A rectangular parking lot has a perimeter of 820 ft. The area of the parking lot measure SL 42,000 ft
horsena [70]

Answer:

a= 200

b = 210

Step-by-step explanation:

My assumption is, we have to find the length of sides of rectangle

Given

perimeter = 2a + 2b = 820 ft (i) (here a is smaller side and b is larger side)

area = a*b = 42,000 ft^2 (ii)

from eq (1)

2a + 2b = 820

=> 2(a+b) = 820

=> a+b = 820/2

=> a + b = 410

=> a = 410-b   (iii)

putting the value of a in eq(ii), we get

(410-b) *b = 42,000

410b - b^2 = 42,000

0 = b^2 - 410b + 42000

b^2 - 410b + 42000 = 0

b^2- 200b- 210b + 42000 = 0

b(b-200)-210(b-200) = 0

(b-200)(b-210) = 0

or

b= 210 and b = 200

if b is larger side than b =210

By putting value of b in eq(iii),

a = 410 -210 = 200
