To find a quarter you just need to divide 3.5 by 4. So Jacqui uses 0.875 yards of fabric to make a hat.
Answer:
-3 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic
... y = ax² +bx +c
has its extreme value at
... x = -b/(2a)
Since a = 3 is positive, we know the parabola opens upward and the extreme value is a minimum. (We also know that from the problem statement asking us to find the minimum value.) The value of x at the minimum is -(-4)/(2·3) = 2/3.
To find the minimum value, we need to evaluate the function for x=2/3.
The most straightforward way to do this is to substitue 2/3 for x.
... y = 3(2/3)² -4(2/3) -2 = 3(4/9) -8/3 -2
... y = (4 -8 -6)/3 = -10/3
... y = -3 1/3

Answer:
-76-43i
Step-by-step explanation:
First expand the multiplied terms
8-3i-(64+64i-24i+24)
8-3i-(64+40i+24)
Simplify
8-3i-64-40i-24
-76-43i
Answer:
27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning. They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression
3m+4
to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.
Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:
m+3m+4 = 112
Combine like terms:
4m+4 = 112
Subtract 4 from each side:
4m+4-4= 112-4
4m = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
4m/4 = 108/4
m = 27
They rode 27 miles in the morning.
That means in the afternoon, they rode
3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
