Answer:

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Given

g(r) = (r + 14)² - 49

To obtain the zeros, let g(r) = 0 , that is

(r + 14)² - 49 = 0 ( add 49 to both sides )

(r + 14)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

r + 14 = ± \sqrt{49} = ± 7 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

r = - 14 ± 7, then

r = - 14 - 7 = - 21 ← smaller r

r = - 14 + 7 = - 7 ← larger r

(2)

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

g(r) = (r + 14)² - 49 ← is in vertex form

with vertex = (- 14, - 49 )
