Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

A = B + 2

C = B - 3

A x C = 66

A = Andrew

C = Chris

B = Beatrice

Multiply A and c together

(B + 2) x (b - 3)

b^2 - 3b + 2b - 6

b^2 -b - 6 = 66

b^2 - b - 72 = 0

factors of -72b^2 that add up to - b are -9b + 8b

b^2 + 8b -9b - 72

b (b + 8) -9(b + 8)

b = 9 or - 8

b = 9

Tyler used 17.04 gallons of gas. Maria used 6.2 times as many gallons of gas as Tyler. How many gallons of gas did Maria use?
Vesnalui [34]
In that problem you will have to multiply, we know that Tyler used 17.04 gallons of gas, and that Maria used 6.2 times as many gallons of gas. So we are going to multiply 17.04 x 6.2 and the answer is 105.648, so Maria used 105.648 gallons of gas.

A quadratic equation can be written in vertex form or in standard form. Sometimes one form is more beneficial than the other. Id
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Below are suppose the be the questions:

a. factor the equation 
<span>b. graph the parabola </span>
<span>c. identify the vertex minimum or maximum of the parabola </span>
<span>d. solve the equation using the quadratic formula
</span>
below are the answers:

Vertex form is most helpful for all of these tasks. 
<span>Let </span>
<span>.. f(x) = a(x -h) +k ... the function written in vertex form. </span>

<span>a) Factor: </span>
<span>.. (x -h +√(-k/a)) * (x -h -√(-k/a)) </span>

<span>b) Graph: </span>
<span>.. It is a graph of y=x^2 with the vertex translated to (h, k) and vertically stretched by a factor of "a". </span>

<span>c) Vertex and Extreme: </span>
<span>.. The vertex is (h, k). It is a maximum if "a" is negative; a minimum otherwise. </span>

<span>d) Solutions: </span>
<span>.. The quadratic formula is based on the notion of completing the square. In vertex form, the square is already completed, so the roots are </span>
<span>.. x = h ± √(-k/a)</span>
