Answer:

a² + 16a - 612 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question :

The width of an extra large rectangle poster is 8 inches more than half its length. The area of this poster is 306 square inches

Write an equation in one variable that could be used to find the number of inches in the dimensions of this poster.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Let length = a

width = 8 + 1/2a

Area = (8 + 1/2a) x a

306 = (8 + 1/2a) x a

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

612 = 16a + a²

a² + 16a - 612 = 0

the dimensions of the poster can be determined using quadratic formula

Answer:

$y = {x}^{2} - 2$

Or if you want with the value of h too.

$y = {(x - 0)}^{2} - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$

Find the value of h and k by using the formula.

$h = - \frac{b}{2a} \\ k = \frac{4ac - {b}^{2} }{4a}$

From y = x²-2

$a = 1 \\ b = 0 \\ c = - 2$

Substitute these values in the formula.

$h = - \frac{0}{2(1)} \\ h = 0$

Therefore, h = 0.

$k = \frac{4(1)( - 2) - {0}^{2} }{4(1)} \\ k = \frac{ - 8}{4} \\ k = - 2$

Therefore, k = - 2.

From the vertex form, the vertex is at (h, k) = (0,-2). Substitute h = 0, a = 1 and k = -2 in the equation.

$y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k \\ y = 1 {(x - 0)}^{2} - 2 \\ y = {(x)}^{2} - 2 \\ y = {x}^{2} - 2$

These type of equation where b = 0 can also be both standard and vertex form.

The following statement is either true (in all cases) or false (for at least one example). If false, construct a specific e

matrenka [14]

Answer:

False, counterexample below

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the unit vectors of R^3 by $e_1=(1,0,0), e_2=(0,1,0), e_3=(0,0,1)$ . Now consider $v_1=e_1, v_2=2e_1$ and $v_3=e_3$ . We have that $v_1, v_2,v_3 \in \mathbb{R}^3$ . Also, the vector $v_3$ is not a linear combination of $v_1, v_2$ because any linear combination of these two vectors will have third coordinate zero, but v_3 has third coordinate 1 so they can't be equal.

However, the set $\{v_1, v_2,v_3\}$ is not linearly independent, because $2v_1-v_2+0v_3=0$ is a non-trivial linear combination of these vectors that equals zero.
