Answer:

The leading coefficient is positive, which means that the function has a minimum value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c

It's vertex is the point (x_{v}, f(x_{v})

In which

x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, otherwise, it is a minimum point.

In this question:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 8x - 5

So a = 2 > 0, which means that the function has a minimum value.

Y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 9 when x = 2. What is the value of y when x = 3?
Illusion [34]
Correct formula is y = kx, where k is the "constant of proportionality."

If y = 9 when x = 2, then 9 = k(2), or k = 9/2.

Then y = (9/2)x.

If x = 3, y = (9/2)(3) = 27/2  (answer)

<h3>Answer:  AC = sqrt(21)/2</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Triangle CDA is congruent to triangle CDB. We can use the HL (hypotenuse leg) congruence theorem to prove this. This only works because we have two right triangles.

Since CDA and CDB are congruent, this means their corresponding pieces are the same length. Specifically AD = DB, so

AD+DB = AB

AD+AD = 3

2*AD = 3

AD = 3/2 = 1.5

For triangle CDA, we have AD = 3/2 = 1.5 and CD = sqrt(3). We can use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing side AC

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (AC)^2

(3/2)^2 + (sqrt(3))^2 = (AC)^2

9/4 + 3 = (AC)^2

(AC)^2 = 9/4 + 3

(AC)^2 = 9/4 + 12/4

(AC)^2 = 21/4

AC = sqrt(21/4)

AC = sqrt(21)/sqrt(4)

AC = sqrt(21)/2

This is the same as writing (1/2)*sqrt(21) or 0.5*sqrt(21)

using the intrest formula, if you invest $2000 in the bank at an interest rate of 6% how many years will it take to have $3007.2
ryzh [129]
Hi there:)

The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value 3007.26
P principle 2000
R interest rate 0.06
T time ?
To solve for t use this formula
T=log (A/p)÷log (1+r)
T=log(3,007.26÷2,000)÷log(1+0.06)
T=6.9 years round
T= 7 years

Hope it helps
