Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

50 - 16 = 34

34 / 2 = 17

34 + 17 = 51, which is too much; so we take 1 souvenir out which would be 16.

Quick check:

34 + 16 = 50

Hope this helps!

Consider the parabola given by the equation: f(x) = 2x2 + 14.0 – 4

Softa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x² + 14x - 4

= 2(x² + 7x) - 4

= 2(x² +7x + 3.5²) - 2(3.5²) - 4

= 2(x+3.5)² - 28.5

vertex (3.5, -28.5) = (7/2, -57/2)

The vertical intercept is the y-intercept, i.e., f(0) = -4.

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y=0.

2x² + 14x - 4 = 0

x = [-14±√(14²-4(2)(-4))]/[2(2)] = [-7±√57]/2 ≅ -7.27, 0.27

Triangle FGH is similar to triangle IJK. Find the measure of side KI. Round your

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

$5.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar shapes also maintain a constant proportion of sides. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

$\frac{31}{43}=\frac{\text{KI}}{8}$

Solving, we get:

$\text{KI}=\frac{8\cdot 31}{43}\approx \boxed{5.8}$
