Answer:
a = 6 and b = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the maximum value of y = -x²+ ax + b we differentiate it with respect to x to find the value of x at which it is maximum.
So dy/dx = d(-x²+ ax + b)/dx = -2x + a
we equate it to zero.
-2x + a = 0
-2x = -a
a = 2x
Now, given that x = 3 at the maximum value,
a = 2x = 2(3) = 6
Also, substituting y = 8 and x = 3 into y, we have
y = -x²+ ax + b
8 = -(3)²+ a(3) + b
8 = -9 + 3a + b
3a + b = 8 + 9
3a + b = 17
So, b = 17 - 3a
substituting a = 6, we have
b = 17 - 3(6)
b = 17 - 18
b = -1
So, a = 6 and b = -1.
2x² - 6x

Answer: Latoya’s error is B) she should have included an exponent of 2 on the 3.
Step-by-step explanation: since the factors are 2,3,3,5 she could and should have just used 3 with an exponent of 2 to make it shorter
We just did the quiz and it’s right
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. 3x + 13 = 12x - 2x
Add like terms
3x + 13 = 10x
3x = 10x - 13 (subtraction property of equality)
3x - 10x = - 13 (substraction property of equality)
-7x = -13
-7x = -13/-7 (division property of equality)
x = 13/7
b. 6j - 12 + 4j - 8 = 10
Add like terms
6j + 4j - 12 - 8 = 10
10j - 20 = 10
10j = 10 + 20 (addition property of equality)
10j = 30
10j/10 = 30/10 (division property of equality)
j = 3
c. 10y - 4y = 14 + 2y - 3y
Add like terms
6y = 14 - y
6y + y = 14 (addition property of equality)
7y = 14
7y/7 = 14/7
y = 2
d. 4p + 8 - 3p = 33
Add like terms
4p - 3p + 8 = 33
p + 8 = 33
p = 33 - 8 (subtraction property of equality)
p = 25
