Answer:

$5\% \: \: of \: \: 240 \: \: is \: \: 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5\% \: \: of \: \: 240$

$\frac{x}{240} = \frac{5}{100}$

$(x)100 = (5)240$

$(x)100 = 1200$

$\frac{(x)100}{100} = \frac{1200}{100}$

$x = \frac{1200}{100}$

$x = 12$

$5\% \: \: of \: \: 240 \: \: is \: \: 12$

Match the parabolas represented by the equations with their foci.

Elenna [48]

Function 1 $f(x)=- x^{2} +4x+8$

First step: Finding when $f(x)$ is minimum/maximum
The function has a negative value $x^{2}$ hence the $f(x)$ has a maximum value which happens when $x=- \frac{b}{2a}=- \frac{4}{(2)(1)}=2$ . The foci of this parabola lies on $x=2$ .

Second step: Find the value of y-coordinate by substituting $x=2$ into $f(x)$ which give $y=- (2)^{2} +4(2)+8=12$

Third step: Find the distance of the foci from the y-coordinate
$y=- x^{2} +4x+8$ - Multiply all term by -1 to get a positive $x^{2}$
$-y= x^{2} -4x-8$ - then manipulate the constant of y to get a multiply of 4
$4(- \frac{1}{4})y= x^{2} -4x-8$
So the distance of focus is 0.25 to the south of y-coordinates of the maximum, which is $12- \frac{1}{4}=11.75$

Hence the coordinate of the foci is (2, 11.75)

Function 2: $f(x)= 2x^{2}+16x+18$

The function has a positive $x^{2}$ so it has a minimum

First step - $x=- \frac{b}{2a}=- \frac{16}{(2)(2)}=-4$
Second step - $y=2(-4)^{2}+16(-4)+18=-14$
Third step - Manipulating $f(x)$ to leave $x^{2}$ with constant of 1
$y=2 x^{2} +16x+18$ - Divide all terms by 2
$\frac{1}{2}y= x^{2} +8x+9$ - Manipulate the constant of y to get a multiply of 4
$4( \frac{1}{8}y= x^{2} +8x+9$

So the distance of focus from y-coordinate is $\frac{1}{8}$ to the north of $y=-14$
Hence the coordinate of foci is (-4, -14+0.125) = (-4, -13.875)

Function 3: $f(x)=-2 x^{2} +5x+14$

First step: the function's maximum value happens when $x=- \frac{b}{2a}=- \frac{5}{(-2)(2)}= \frac{5}{4}=1.25$
Second step: $y=-2(1.25)^{2}+5(1.25)+14=17.125$
Third step: Manipulating $f(x)$
$y=-2 x^{2} +5x+14$ - Divide all terms by -2
$-2y= x^{2} -2.5x-7$ - Manipulate coefficient of y to get a multiply of 4
$4(- \frac{1}{8})y= x^{2} -2.5x-7$
So the distance of the foci from the y-coordinate is - $\frac{1}{8}$ south to y-coordinate

Hence the coordinate of foci is (1.25, 17)

Function 4: following the steps above, the maximum value is when $x=8.5$ and $y=79.25$ . The distance from y-coordinate is 0.25 to the south of y-coordinate, hence the coordinate of foci is (8.5, 79.25-0.25)=(8.5,79)

Function 5: the minimum value of the function is when $x=-2.75$ and $y=-10.125$ . Manipulating coefficient of y, the distance of foci from y-coordinate is $\frac{1}{8}$ to the north. Hence the coordinate of the foci is (-2.75, -10.125+0.125)=(-2.75, -10)

Function 6: The maximum value happens when $x=1.5$ and $y=9.5$ . The distance of the foci from the y-coordinate is $\frac{1}{8}$ to the south. Hence the coordinate of foci is (1.5, 9.5-0.125)=(1.5, 9.375)

Solve the equation 9p+14=2p+35 show your work

Alla [95]

Answer:

p=3

Step-by-step explanation:

9p+14=2p+35

Subtract 2p from each side

9p-2p+14=2p-2p+35

7p +14 = 35

Subtract 14 from each side

7p +14-14 = 35-14

7p = 21

Divide by 7

7p/7= 21/7

p=3

Write which place to use when comparing the numbers 3,176 & 3,472

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare 3,176 and 3,472 using the number line, remember how numbers appear on a number line:

Smaller numbers are to the left, and larger numbers are to the right.

but since both is in the 3,000 just make sure one is on the left and find out where the bigger one goes on the right
