7 1/4
that is the numerical difference between the two
Answer:
companies who have checked persons credit.
Step-by-step explanation:
the more companies you allow to check credit, could be an indication of applying for multiple credit lines, which is a negative.
Let V, be the rate in still water and let C = rate river current
If the boat is going :
upstream, its rate is V-C and if going
downstream, its rate is V+C,
But V = 5C, then
Upstream Rate: 5C - C = 4 C
Downstream rate: 5C+C = 6C
Time = distance/Rate, (or time = distance/speed) , then:
Upstream time 12/4C and
Downstream time: 12/.6C
Upstream time +downstream time:= 2h30 ' then:
12/4C + 12/.6C = 2.5 hours
3/C + 2/C = 5/2 (2.5 h = 5/2)
Reduce to same denominator :
5C = 10 and Rate of the current = 2 mi/h
Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)
another way to do it:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-

, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9
