Answer: 7 bundles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost per bundle is $75.

The cost for shipping is $42.50

She spent $567.50 in total.

The shipping is paid only one time, as all the bundles can be packaged togheter.

Then after paying the shipping, the left spent is:

$567.50 - $42.50 = $525

And each bundle costs $75, then the number of bundles that she bought will be equal to the number of times that we have $75 in $525. This is equal to the quotient between $525 and $75.

N = $525/$75 = 7

She bought 7 bundles

Dentify on which quadratic function is positive.

Olin [163]

Answer:

$\textsf{$y = 2x^2 - 17x + 30$: \quad $\left(-\infty, \dfrac{5}{2}\right) \cup (6, \infty)$}$

$\textsf{$y = - x^2 - 6x - 8$: \quad $\left(-\infty, -4\right) \cup (-2, \infty)$}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is positive when it is <u>above the x-axis</u>, and negative when it is <u>below the x-axis</u>.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Given quadratic equation</u>:

$y = 2x^2 - 17x + 30$

Factor the equation:

$\implies y = 2x^2 - 17x + 30$

$\implies y = 2x^2 - 5x-12x + 30$

$\implies y=x(2x-5)-6(2x-5)$

$\implies y=(x-6)(2x-5)$

The x-intercepts of the parabola are when y = 0.

To find the <u>x-intercepts</u>, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

$\implies x-6=0 \implies x=6$

$\implies 2x-5=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}$

Therefore, the x-intercepts are x = ⁵/₂ and x = 6.

The leading coefficient of the given function is positive, so the <u>parabola opens upwards</u>.

The function is positive when it is <u>above the x-axis</u>.

Therefore, the function is positive for the values of x less than the smallest x-intercept and more than the largest x-intercept:

$\textsf{Solution: \quad $x < \dfrac{5}{2}$ \;and \;$x > 6$}$

$\textsf{Interval notation: \quad $\left(-\infty, \dfrac{5}{2}\right) \cup (6, \infty)$}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Given quadratic equation</u>:

$y = - x^2 - 6x - 8$

Factor the equation:

$\implies y = - x^2 - 6x - 8$

$\implies y = -(x^2 +6x +8)$

$\implies y = -(x^2 +4x +2x+8)$

$\implies y = -((x(x+4)+2(x+4))$

$\implies y = -(x+4)(x+2)$

The x-intercepts of the parabola are when y = 0.

To find the <u>x-intercepts</u>, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

$\implies x+4=0 \implies x=-4$

$\implies x+2=0 \implies x=-2$

Therefore, the x-intercepts are x = -4 and x = -2.

The leading coefficient of the given function is negative, so the <u>parabola opens downwards</u>.

The function is negative when it is <u>below the x-axis</u>.

Therefore, the function is negative for the values of x less than the smallest x-intercept and more than the largest x-intercept:

$\textsf{Solution: \quad $x < -4$ \;and \;$x > -2$}$

$\textsf{Interval notation: \quad $\left(-\infty, -4\right) \cup (-2, \infty)$}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x3= 15

8x9=72

12x11=132

14x17=138

9x17=153

15+72+132+138+153=510

510/50=10.2= mean
