What is the vertex for the following quadratic? f(x)=2(x - 4)^2 -8
Ghella [55]

Answer:

vertex = (4, - 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

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

f(x) = (x - 4)² - 8 ← is in vertex form

with (h, k ) = (4, - 8 ) ← coordinates of vertex

It takes 32 hours for a motorboat moving downriver to get from pier A to pier B. The return journey takes 48 hours. How long doe
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is T = 192.12 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat = u \frac{km}{hr}

Speed of current = v \frac{km}{hr}

Let distance between A & B = 100 km

Time taken in downstream = 32 hours

32 = \frac{100}{u +v}

u + v = \frac{100}{32}

u + v = 3.125 ------ (1)

Time taken in upstream = 48 hours

48 = \frac{100}{u -v}

u -v = \frac{100}{48}

u - v = 2.084 ------- (2)

By solving equation (1) & (2)

u = 2.6045 \frac{km}{hr}

v = 0.5205 \frac{km}{hr}

Now the time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance

T = \frac{100}{v}

Because un powered raft travel with the speed of the current.

T = \frac{100}{0.5205}

T = 192.12 hr

Therefore the  time taken by the un powered raft to cover this distance is

T = 192.12 hr

A lidless box is to be made using 2m^2 of cardboard find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard
Jlenok [28]
1.8, Problem 37: A lidless cardboard box is to be made with a volume of 4 m3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard. Solution: If the dimensions of our box are x, y, and z, then we’re seeking to minimize A(x, y, z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz subject to the constraint that xyz = 4. Our first step is to make the first function a function of just 2 variables. From xyz = 4, we see z = 4/xy, and if we substitute this into A(x, y, z), we obtain a new function A(x, y) = xy + 8/y + 8/x. Since we’re optimizing something, we want to calculate the critical points, which occur when Ax = Ay = 0 or either Ax or Ay is undefined. If Ax or Ay is undefined, then x = 0 or y = 0, which means xyz = 4 can’t hold. So, we calculate when Ax = 0 = Ay. Ax = y − 8/x2 = 0 and Ay = x − 8/y2 = 0. From these, we obtain x 2y = 8 = xy2 . This forces x = y = 2, which forces z = 1. Calculating second derivatives and applying the second derivative test, we see that (x, y) = (2, 2) is a local minimum for A(x, y). To show it’s an absolute minimum, first notice that A(x, y) is defined for all choices of x and y that are positive (if x and y are arbitrarily large, you can still make z REALLY small so that xyz = 4 still). Therefore, the domain is NOT a closed and bounded region (it’s neither closed nor bounded), so you can’t apply the Extreme Value Theorem. However, you can salvage something: observe what happens to A(x, y) as x → 0, as y → 0, as x → ∞, and y → ∞. In each of these cases, at least one of the variables must go to ∞, meaning that A(x, y) goes to ∞. Thus, moving away from (2, 2) forces A(x, y) to increase, and so (2, 2) is an absolute minimum for A(x, y).

Chloe kicks a soccer ball across a field. The height of the ball above the ground is given by the equation
Reika [66]

Answer:

It takes 3.5 seconds for the ball to hit the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

By finding the x intercepts you can determine when the ball hits the ground.

the second x intercept is (3.5,0), which means the ball hits the ground at 3.5 seconds

Which of the following is the solution to the system of equations?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

B (3/4,5/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2- x

\frac{5}{4}  = 2 -  \frac{3}{4}

y = 3x - 1

\frac{5}{4}  = 3 \times  \frac{3}{4}  - 1

\frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{9}{4}  -  \frac{4}{4}

Hope this helps ^-^
