Answer:

90 couples or 180 ppl

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take "x" as the couples who remained at the party

we start out with 250:

250

but by the time it is 11pm, 70 people have left the party

since it is a couples party we need to divide by two to account for the couples

$\frac{250-70}{2}$ =x

250-70=180

180/2=90

so 90 couples or 180 ppl

hope this helps

Which function has a vertex on the y-axis? f(x) = (x – 2)2 f(x) = x(x + 2) f(x) = (x – 2)(x + 2) f(x) = (x + 1)(x – 2)

strojnjashka [21]

we know that

If the vertex is on the y-axis, then the x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to zero

we are going to verify the vertex of each one of the functions to determine the solution

Remember that

The equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola is equal to

$y=a(x-h)^{2} +k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex

if $a>0$ -------> the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if $a$ -------> the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximun)

case A) $f(x)=(x-2)^{2}$

This is a vertical parabola open upward

the vertex is the point $(2,0)$

therefore

The function $f(x)=(x-2)^{2}$ does not have a vertex on the y-axis

case B) $f(x)=x(x+2)$

$f(x)=x(x+2)=x^{2}+2x$

convert to vertex form

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$f(x)+1=x^{2}+2x+1$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)+1=(x+1)^{2}$

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

the vertex is the point $(-1,-1)$

therefore

The function $f(x)=x(x+2)$ does not have a vertex on the y-axis

case C) $f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)$

$f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)=x^{2}-2^{2}$

$f(x)=x^{2}-4$

the vertex is the point $(0,-4)$

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to zero

therefore

The function $f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)$ has a vertex on the y-axis

case D) $f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)$

$f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)\\ \\f(x)= x^{2}-2x+x-2 \\ \\f(x)= x^{2} -x-2$

convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)+2= x^{2} -x$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$f(x)+2+0.25= x^{2} -x+0.25$

$f(x)+2.25= x^{2} -x+0.25$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)+2.25= (x-0.50)^{2}$

$f(x)=(x-0.50)^{2}-2.25$

the vertex is the point $(0.5,-2.25)$

therefore

The function $f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)$ does not have a vertex on the y-axis

the answer is

$f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)$

Natalie added 20 pieces of candy to a bowl. Two days later, half of the candy in the bowl is gone. If there are 14 pieces left i

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

8 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be $x$ .

It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are $x+20$ pieces of candy in the bowl.

Half of the candy is gone, therefore $\frac{x+20}{2}$ pieces of candy are left in the bowl.

After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that $\frac{x+20}{2} =14$

Solve for $x$ :

$x+20 = 28$

$x=8$

during one month the orangevale parks and recreation district spent $5720 for various activities. they spent $1430 on mommy and

AysviL [449]

To solve this problem, we must figure out what percent of the total spending was spent on mommy and baby exercise programs. To figure this out, we should divide how much was spent on the mommy and baby exercise by the total amount spent on the district activities.

$1430/$5720 = 0.25

This is a percentage, or a portion out of 100, which means we must multiply this decimal by 100 to find its equivalent percentage.

0.25 * 100 = 25

Therefore, your answer is 25% of the total spending was spent on mommy and baby exercise programs.

Hope this helps!
