so we know that each m&m weighs about 2g.

the next line says to write a direct variation equation.

(definition: mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other)

we then make the equation ( w=xm), then we use that equation to figure out the next line, which is to find the amount of m&ms that would fit in a bag of 1000.

(my head cant really process part a cause of a recent headache, so sorry if its wrong)

the answer to part b would be 500, which you can provide evidence based off of your part a equation.

Can someone help me with this please

zhuklara [117]

The error is when she added 4 to both sides.

Instead, she should divide both sides by -4 to undo the multiplication. Specifically, the multiplication between the -4 term and the (x-2)^2 term.

This is one possible correction of what her steps could look like.

$y = -4(x-2)^2\\\\\\0 = -4(x-2)^2\\\\\\\frac{0}{-4} = \frac{-4(x-2)^2}{-4}\\\\\\0 = (x-2)^2\\\\\\(x-2)^2 = 0\\\\\\\sqrt{(x-2)^2} = \sqrt{0}\\\\\\x-2 = 0\\\\\\x-2+2 = 0+2\\\\\\x = 2\\\\\\$

In the third step, I'm dividing both sides by -4. In the sixth step, I'm applying the square root to both sides to undo the squaring operation. Then two steps later, I'm adding 2 to both sides to undo the "-2", which helps fully isolate x.

The only solution is x = 2, so it's the only x intercept. You can verify this answer by plugging x = 2 back into the original equation at the very top. You should end up with y = 0.

Note: The term "root" is another name for "x intercept".
