B is equal to the number 24.
To do this problem, you need to use a process called completing the square. Let me explain:
To complete the square on the function f(x) = x² + 8x +13, first group the first two terms in ( ) and leave some space at the end as follows:
f(x) = (x² + 8x ) + 13 Now our next step is to fill in the space and adjust our expression on the right hand side of the function. To do this, we take half of the middle number 8 and then square it: so 4² = 16 and we fill in our space inside the ( ) with this value 16;
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13 now what we have done is to increase the overall value of our expression on the right by 16, but we want the overall value to remain the same. To fix this we simply need to subtract 16 at the end like this: f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13 -16 we can simplify and get the following.
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) - 3 At this point we're almost done.. All we need to do now is to rewrite the what is in the parentheses in a slightly different form. Here is what it will look like: f(x) = (x + 4)² - 3 notice all I did was take the sum of the square root of x² and the square root of 16 originally in the ( ) to get then new expression inside the ( ) and then square that ( )²
Now this is a nice form to have because you can get the vertex straight from this form.. IN FACT this is called vertex form or (h,k) form for short. In general the form is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k don't worry about the 'a' for now.. you might see that in our case it is just 1 and will not effect our equation. You only have to consider this if the original leading coefficient of the quadratic is not 1 to begin with...
So you can see that our vertex is (-4,-3)
Hope this is helpful, but if you have questions let me know.
Answer:
5>6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this survey results :
Students : 80 like viking and 20 like patriot.
Teachers : 5 like viking and 15 like patriot.
In Option B it is given that patriot is more popular in students while viking is more popular in teachers which is not correct.
In option c patriot is equally popular in students and teachers, which is also not correct. because patriot is popular in 20% of students but 80% in teachers, which is not correct.
In option d there is no difference between students and teachers, this statement is also not correct because there is lots of differences in their choices.
In Option A it is said that viking is more popular in students but patriot is more popular in teachers. this is correct.
Answer:
I would go with the first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first one is the only one that increases by the same number. In other words, its slope is constant. A linear function has a constant slope. You can tell that it increases by 1/2 every time.
