2/4 reduces to 1/2

3/6 reduces to 1/2

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

he used 1/4 yard of string

The function f(x) = 1.50x – 30 gives the amount of money Amelia has to spend each week for x school lunches, after taking money

Naya [18.7K]

To find the inverse, switch the x and y, and then solve for y (f(x) is the same as y)

So we get:
x=1.50y-30 (add 30 to both sides)
x+30=1.50y (divide both sides by 1.5)
x/1.5+30/1.5=y
y=x/1.5+20

Hope this helps

Answer:

Expected value would be $ 0.896

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The price of the lottery ticket = $44800000,

Also, the probability of winning the grand prize = .000000020,

Thus, the expected value of the lottery ticket = value of the lottery ticket × probability of getting the lottery ticket

= 44800000 × .000000020

= $0.896

Note : value of lottery ticket = prize amount - cost of each ticket,

Here the cost price of a ticket is not given,

That's why we did not consider it.

The first step for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation, 0 = ax2 bx c, is shown.step 1: –c = ax2 bxwhich b

Ksju [112]

Answer:

option (b) is correct.

First step to solve for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation is completing the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$

We have to find the first step for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation.

Quadratic formula is given by $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Consider the given quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Divide the equation by a, we get,

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0$

Take $\frac{c}{a}$ to other side, we get,

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x=-\frac{c}{a}$

Add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ to both side, we get,

$x^2+\frac{b}{a}x+(\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{c}{a}$

Thus, the left side is in the form of $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$

On solving, we get,

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{b}{2a})^2-\frac{c}{a}$

Then solve for x , we get quadratic formula $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Thus, first step to solve for deriving the quadratic formula from the quadratic equation is completing the square.

Thus, option (b) is correct.
