Answer:

x = 6 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Total weight of the candy = x

3/20x + 1.2 lb + 3/5x + 0.3 lb = x

3/20x + 3/5x + 1.5 lb = x

3x+12x/20 + 1.5 lb = x

15/20x + 1.5 = x

1.5 = x - 15/20x

1.5 =20x -15x /20

1.5 = 5/20x

1.5 = 1/4x

x = 1.5 ÷ 1/4

= 1.5 × 4/1

= 6

x = 6 lb

Brain was asked to round 4.44 to the nearest tenth and said it was 4.5 Is he correct?Why or Why not?
Annette [7]
Brian (I think you meant Brian haha..) is incorrect because the tenth place is the number right after the decimal which is a 4. If you are rounding to the tenth place that means that you have to look at the number to the right of that, which is 4. 5 and up means you round up and 4 and down means you round down. This is a 4, so you keep the 4 after the decimal and get rid of the last 4. Therefore, when rounded it would be: 4.4.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

Given the equation 4x2 − 8x + 20 = 0, what are the values of h and k when the equation is written in vertex form a(x − h)2 + k =
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The correct option is:

h = 1, k = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

y=4x^2-8x+20 =0

It is a quadratic formula in standard form:

ax^2+bx+c

where a = 4 , b = -8 and c=20

The vertex form is:

a(x − h)2 + k = 0

h is the axis of symmetry and (h,k) is the vertex.

Calculate h according to the following formula:

h = -b/2a

h= -(-8)/2(4)

h = 8/8

h = 1

Substitute k for y and insert the value of h for x in the standard form:

ax^2+bx+c

k = 4(1)^2+(-8)(1)+20

k = 4-8+20

k=-4+20

k = 16

Thus the correct option is h=1, k=16....
