Answers:

a) True. Plug in x = 0 and it leads to y = c. Therefore, the point (0,c) is on the parabola.
b) False. Plug in y = 0 and apply the quadratic formula. One x intercept may sometimes be x = c, but it could easily be other values as well. Or perhaps you may not get any real number solutions at all. See part d) below.
c) True. If a < 0, then the leading coefficient is negative. Overall, both endpoints will tend toward negative infinity to produce a parabola that opens downward.
d) False. The quadratic may have one x intercept or it may not have any x intercepts at all. It depends on what the discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac is equal to. If d < 0, then we have no x intercepts. If d = 0, then we have exactly 1 x intercept. If d > 0, then we have two different x intercepts.
e) True. The vertex's x coordinate is -b/(2a). If b = 0, then the x coordinate of the vertex is 0. The vertical line x = 0 is directly on top of the y axis.

In a survey, four out of five people surveyed preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter. 120 people are shopping at the grocery

elixir [45]

Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.

Then the relative frequency is:

4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.

And we can assume that:

1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.

We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:

0.8*100% = 80%

0.2*100% = 20%

Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.

Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:

N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96

Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.

HELP PLEASEEE. I DONT UNDERSTAND

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$x^2-6x+58=0$

And we want to solve for x.

We can solve it by completing the square.

First, subtract 58 from both sides:

$x^2-6x=-58$

Divide the b term by 2 and square it:

$(-6)/2=-3\\(-3)^2=9$

So, add 9 to both sides:

$(x^2-6x+9)=-58+9$

On the left, the perfect square trinomial pattern. Add on the right. So:

$(x-3)^2=-49$

Take the square root of both sides:

$x-3=\pm \sqrt{-49}$

The square root of -49 is 7i:

$x-3=\pm 7i$

Add 3 to both sides:

$x=3\pm 7i$

So, our answer is D.

And we're done!

You are fundraising for the schools track team by selling clothing. The first day, you sell 13 t-shirts and 17 pairs of shorts f

Anastasy [175]

Answers:

one t-shirt costs $10

one pair of shorts costs $15

============================================================

Explanation:

x = cost of one t-shirt

y = cost of one pair of shorts

13x+17y = 385 is the first equation because 13x represents the money you get from selling 13 shirts, and the 17y represents the amount you get from selling 17 shorts. The total 13x+17y is given to be $385

The second equation is 13x+12y = 310 for similar reasoning, but this time you sell 12 shorts this time and you get $310 in revenue.

The system of equations we have is:

$\begin{cases}13x+17y = 385\\13x+12y=310\end{cases}$

There are a few ways to solve this system. Possibly the quickest method is to note that the 13x shows up twice, so we can subtract straight down to eliminate the x terms

So,

13x-13x becomes 0x or just 0, and the x terms go away.
17y-12y becomes 5y
385-310 becomes 75

After those three subtractions, we have the equation 5y = 75 which solves to y = 15 after dividing both sides by 5. This means the cost of one pair of shorts is $15

Plug this y value into any equation involving x and y, and solve for x

13x+17y = 385

13x+17(15) = 385

13x+255 = 385

13x = 385-255

13x = 130

x = 130/13

x = 10

Therefore, each t-shirt costs $10

-----------------

To help verify the answer, plug (x,y) = (10,15) into each equation. We should end up with a true result after simplifying both sides.

Start with the first equation

13x+17y = 385

13(10)+17(15) = 385

130+255 = 385

385 = 385

We get a true result which confirms the first equation.

Repeat for the second equation.

13x+12y = 310

13(10)+12(15) = 310

130+180 = 310

310 = 310

Both equations are true so (x,y) = (10, 15) has been fully confirmed.
