3) Tara sold candles to raise money for new playground equipment at her school.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.

2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.

The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).

Vertex Form: y = a(x - h)^2 + k, with (h,k) as the vertex.

To convert it into vertex form, we are going to be completing the square. Firstly, subtract 56 on both sides: $y-56=2x^2-32x$

Next, factor out the GCF, or greatest common factor, of the right side. To find the GCF, list the factors of both terms and the greatest one they share is their GCF. In this case, the GCF is 2: $y-56=2(x^2-16x)$

Next, we want to make what's inside the parentheses a perfect square. To find the constant of the perfect square, divide the x term by 2 and square the quotient. In this case:

-16 ÷ 2 = -8, (-8)² = 64

So you're gonna have to add 64 to the inside of the parentheses. To cancel this out, you will need to add to the other side the product of 64 and 2 (since 64 is inside the parentheses), which is 128: $y+72=2(x^2-16x+64)$
