To start to solve this problem, we need to know what vertex form is. The vertex form of a parabola is. The vertex form of a parabola is a(x-h) + k, where k is the vertical shift, h is the horizontal shift, and a is the value that tells the stretch.
To start to solve this equation, we want to start to create a difference of two squares.
y = 2(x²+
x) We do this step to make the x² have a coefficient of 1
Now, we want to complete the square. To complete the square, we take 1/2 of the coefficient of x, and then square that.
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4, and 1/4²=1/16
That means that we need to add 1/16 inside and outside the parenthesis.
We get:
y = 2(x²+1/2x + 1/16) - 1/16*2
We do -1/16*2 on the outside because since we added it inside the parenthesis, we need to take it away somewhere else (if that makes sense). The two is there because there is a two in front of the parenthesis.
We get:
y = 2(x+1/4)² - 1/8, by completing the square and simplifying, and this is the final answer.
Answer:
MArk me brainliest plz i need it
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three numbers be x, y, and z.
If the sum of the three numbers is 3, then x+y+z=3
If subtracting the second number from the sum of the first and third numbers gives 9, then x+z-y=9
If subtracting the third number from the sum of the first and second numbers gives -5, then x+y-z=-5
This forms the system of equations:
[1] x+y+z=3
[2] x-y+z=9
[3] x+y-z=-5
First, to find y, let's take do [1]-[2]:
x+y+z=3
-x+y-z=-9
2y=-6
y=-3
Then, to find z, let's do [1]-[3]:
x+y+z=3
-x+-y+z=5
2z=8
z=4
Now that you have y and z, plug them into [1] to find x:
x+y+z=3
x-3+4=3
x=2
So the three numbers are 2,-3, and 4.
Answer: 3 1/2 ( mixed number)
Step-by-step explanation:
- First you have to put 3.5 into na fraction
- In a fraction it is 35/10
- as a mixed number, it would be: 3 5/10 ( a mixed number )
- Bur we still have to simplify so simplified would be: 3 1/2 ( mixed number)
