Answer:

A = -4

B = 5

C = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a quadratic equation is y = Ax² + Bx + C

In the quadratic y = -4x² + 5x - 3, we can use this standard form to find A, B, and C.

Since -4 is the coefficient to x², A is -4.

Since 5 is the coefficient to x, B is 5.

Lastly, since -3 is the last term, C is -3.

So, the answer is:

A = -4

B = 5

C = -3

The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, $V=lwh$ . You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute $l=x, w= \frac{x}{2},h= \frac{x}{3}$ into the formula for volume. You get $(x)( \frac{x}{2})( \frac{x}{3} )$ , and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get $\frac{(x)(x)(x)}{(1)(2)(3)} = \frac{x^3}{6}$ . It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule $x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n}$ , if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that $\frac{1}{6} = 6^{-1}$ . For your final answer, you write $6^{-1}x^3$ . This corresponds to answer choice B.

An actor invests some money at 7%, and $48000 and more than twotimes the amount of 9%. The total annual interest earned from the

forsale [732]

Answer:

At 7% $54,000

At 9% $156,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at 7%, Then 2x + 48000 will be the amount invested at 9%

We know that:

7% = 0.07 & 9% = 0.09

So we can write the interest equation as follows:

0.07x + 0.09 (2x + 48000) = 17820

0.07x + 0.18x + 4320 = 17820

0.25x + 4320 = 17820

Subtracting 4320 from both sides of the equation we get:

0.25x = 17820 - 4320

0.25x = 13500

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.25 we get:

x = 13500 / 0.25

x = $54,000 invested at 7%

2 x 54000 + 48000

= $156,000 invested at 9%

Hence the amount invested at 7% is $54,000.

& the amount invested at 9% is $156,000.

Complete the square f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 8 <br><br><br> PLZ help me ;c

Semenov [28]

Ok, first group x terms
f(x)=(x²+4x)-8
factor out quadratic coefient (no need but that's the step)
f(x)=1(x²+4x)-8
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
4/2=2, (2)²=4
add positive and negative of it insides the parenthasees
f(x)=1(x²+4x+4-4)-8
factor perfect square
f(x)=1((x+2)²-4)-8
distribute
f(x)=1(x+2)²-4-8
f(x)=1(x+2)²-12
and, now if we wanted to find the x intercepts where f(x)=0 then
0=1(x+2)²-12
12=(x+2)²
+/-2√3=x+2
-2+/-2√3=x

x=-2+2√3 or -2-2√3
that is where the x intercept are

and completed square form is
f(x)=(x+2)²-12

The board of examiners that administers the real estate broker's examination in a certain state found that the mean score on the

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The passing score is 645.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 553, \sigma = 72$
