Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,
Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,
And the second one,
The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3
I will answer this question to the best of my ability, because you have not provided a value of x to plug in.
UW is always equal to 9x-9 or 9(x-1) whenever x is a real number. By plugging in x, we can get the value. For example, if x was 4, we plug in x, giving us 9*4-9=36-9=27 units or 9(4-1)=9(3)=27 units
Don't forget to include units when you complete your answer!
Hope this helps! I did as much as I could!
7/7.42 = $0.94
Hope this helped :)
(a) There are 1/4 cups of flour per serving
<u>Work:</u> 1.5/6=1/4
(b) There are aprox. .18 cups of sugar per serving.
<u>Work:</u> 9/12+4/12=13/12 n then divide 13/12 by 6
(c) You need 2 1/4 cups of flour to make 9 servings
<u>Work:</u> 1.5/2=.75 1.5+.75=2.25=2 1/4 cups
(d) Someone would need to know the amount of sugar per serving to make the recipe accurate.
<em>Question 2</em>
(a) You're account is at $10 dollars
<u>Work:</u> $5x5 (days)=$25. add 25 to -15 and you have $10 dollars in you're account.
(b) 5 days.
<u>Work:</u> 10/2=5 10-10=$0
