Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    4*(x-10)^2-(25)=0  

Step by step solution :

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

 4 • (x - 10)2 -  25  = 0  

STEP

2

:

2.1     Evaluate :  (x-10)2   =    x2-20x+100  

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.2     Factoring  4x2-80x+375  

The first term is,  4x2  its coefficient is  4 .

The middle term is,  -80x  its coefficient is  -80 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +375  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • 375 = 1500  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  1500  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -80 .

     -1500    +    -1    =    -1501  

     -750    +    -2    =    -752  

     -500    +    -3    =    -503  

     -375    +    -4    =    -379  

     -300    +    -5    =    -305  

     -250    +    -6    =    -256  

     -150    +    -10    =    -160  

     -125    +    -12    =    -137  

     -100    +    -15    =    -115  

     -75    +    -20    =    -95  

     -60    +    -25    =    -85  

     -50    +    -30    =    -80    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -50  and  -30  

                    4x2 - 50x - 30x - 375

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   2x • (2x-25)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   15 • (2x-25)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (2x-15)  •  (2x-25)

            Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step

2

:

 (2x - 25) • (2x - 15)  = 0  

STEP

3

:

Theory - Roots of a product

3.1    A product of several terms equals zero.  

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.  

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately  

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product  

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

3.2      Solve  :    2x-25 = 0  

Add  25  to both sides of the equation :  

                     2x = 25

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 25/2 = 12.500

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

3.3      Solve  :    2x-15 = 0  

Add  15  to both sides of the equation :  

                     2x = 15

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 15/2 = 7.500

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly

Solving    4x2-80x+375  = 0   directly  

Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

4.1      Find the Vertex of   y = 4x2-80x+375

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) .   We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, 4 , is positive (greater than zero).  

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.  

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.  

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is  10.0000  

Plugging into the parabola formula  10.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :  

 y = 4.0 * 10.00 * 10.00 - 80.0 * 10.00 + 375.0

or   y = -25.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = 4x2-80x+375

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={10.00}  

Vertex at  {x,y} = {10.00,-25.00}  

x -Intercepts (Roots) :

Root 1 at  {x,y} = { 7.50, 0.00}  

Root 2 at  {x,y} = {12.50, 0.00}  

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

4.2     Solving   4x2-80x+375 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Divide both sides of the equation by  4  to have 1 as the coefficient of the first term :

  x2-20x+(375/4) = 0

Subtract  375/4  from both side of the equation :

  x2-20x = -375/4

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  20 , divide by two, giving  10 , and finally square it giving  100  

Add  100  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  -375/4  +  100    or,  (-375/4)+(100/1)  

 The common denominator of the two fractions is  4   Adding  (-375/4)+(400/4)  gives  25/4  

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2-20x+100 = 25/4

Adding  100  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2-20x+100  =

  (x-10) • (x-10)  =

 (x-10)2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2-20x+100 = 25/4 and

  x2-20x+100 = (x-10)2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x-10)2 = 25/4

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #4.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x-10)2   is

  (x-10)2/2 =

 (x-10)1 =

  x-10

Two solutions were found :

x = 15/2 = 7.500

x = 25/2 = 12.500

The total amount of spending per​ year, in​ billions, on pets in a certain country x years after 2000 is given by the following
Kamila [148]

Answer:

40.4502 billion dollars

51.3432 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total amount spent in billions in pets x years after year, 2000 ;

P(x)=2.1786x + 25.2

Amount spent in 2007 ;

x = 2007 - 2000 = 7 years

Put x = 7 in the equation :

P(7)=2.1786(7) + 25.2 = 40.4502

Amount spent in 2012 :

x = 2012 - 2000 = 12 years

Put x = 12 in the equation :

P(12) = 2.1786(12) + 25.2 = 51.3432

The amount spent in billik dollars on pets in :

2007 = $404502 billion

2012 = $51.3432 billion
