Answer:

16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Just put in the values of C and y first into the expression.

C = 4x + 5y

Put in values.

51 = 4x + 5(-3)

Evaluate.

51 = 4x + (-15)

Swap positions.

4x + (-15) = 51

Shift (-15) to the other side and change to (+15).

4x = 51 + 15

= 66

Find x.

x = 66 ÷ 4

x = 16.5

Anna11 [10]

Answer: 265.9167 square inches (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

Shoot, okay if this is wrong, shame on me:

All you do is find the areas of each rectangle and add them together.

(12 × 13 1/3) + (10 1/4 x 10 1/3) = 265.9167 (rounded) square inches. Or as a fraction: 3191/12

1. Find the vertex of the following: y = (x - 4)(x - 10) *

horsena [70]

Answer:

1. (7,-9)

2. (4,0) and (10,0)

3. (3,0) and (-3,0)

4. (0,-9)

5. (-1,-32)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex use the formula

$\frac{-b}{2a}$

First make the equation into a quadratic equation.

$(x-4)(x-10)\\x^{2} -10x-4x+40\\x^{2} -14x+40$

Now it is in the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

Now we can substitute the values

$\frac{-(-14)}{2(1)} \\\frac{14}{2} \\7$

Now we have 7 as our x value for the vertex we can substitute for y,

$x^{2} -14x+40=y\\(7)^{2} -14(7)+40=y\\49-98+4=y\\y=-9$

So the vertex for 1 is (7,-9)

To find the intercepts for 2 & 3, they basically already give it to you. You just need to find a value for x for x-4 that will equal it to 0 and another for x for x-10 that will equal it to 0.

$x-4=0\\x=4\\\\x-10=0\\x=10$

4 is slightly different but start the same,

$(x-3)(x+3)\\x^{2}+3x-3x-9\\x^{2}-9$

Here, c (9) just shows the graph move down 9, so the y intercept = 9.

5 is the same process as 1,

$2(x-3)(x+5)\\2(x^{2}+5x-3x-15)\\2(x^{2}+2x-15)\\2x^{2}+4x-30$

Vertex,

$\frac{-(4)}{2(2)} \\\frac{-4}{4} \\-1$

Substitute,

$2x^{2}+4x-30\\2(-1)^{2}+4(-1)-30\\2-4-30\\-32$

So the vertex is (-1,-32)
