Answer:
(2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare the given equation ...
y = (x -2)^2 +3
to the vertex form ...
y = (x -h)^2 +k
You can see that h=2 and k=3.
The vertex of the parabola is (h, k) = (2, 3).
Answer:
Let x = amount of 45% antifreeze
Let y = amount of 70% antifreeze
EQUATION 1: x + y = 150 (total of 150 gallons mixed)
EQUATION 2: .45x + .75y = .55(x + y)
Simplify and solve the system of equations
Multiply second equation by 100 on both sides to remove the decimals
45x + 75y = 55(x + y)
Combine like terms
45x + 75y = 55x + 55y
45x - 55x + 75y - 55y = 0
-10x + 20y = 0
Now we have the following system of equations:
x + y = 150
-10x + 20y = 0
Multiply the first equation by -10 to get opposite coefficients for x; add the equations to eliminate x
10x + 10y = 1500
-10x + 20y = 0
------------------------------
30y = 1500
Solve for y
30y = 1500
y = 50
Since the total mixed gallons is 150, x = 150 - 50 = 100
So we need 100 gallons of the 45% antifreeze and 50 gallons of the 70% antifreeze
Answer:
a = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is :
2y=ax-7 ...(1)
The point (2,-3) lies on the graph of this equation.
We need to find the value of a.
Put x = 2 and y = -3 in equation (1)
2(-3) = a(2) -7
-6 = 2a-7
-6+7 = 2a
2a = 1
a = 1/2
Hence, the value of a is 1/2.
