Answer:
$9$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.
To find: number that Thea originally entered
Solution:
The final number is $243$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $243$ must be $324$.
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $18$ must be $81$
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

Step-by-step explanation:
For all real numbers a,b, and c, the distributive property states that:
For Part A, we have
Or
For Part B, we have
-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-4*3x--4*10+5*2-5*6x
This simplifies to:
-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-12x+40+10-30x
-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-12x-30x+40+10
-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-42x+50
For the C part, we have:
For Part D, we have:
We simplify to get:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to complete the square.
C(x) = 0.02(x^2 - 1000x ...) + 11000
C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 11000 - 5000
C(x) = 0.02 (x^2 - 1000x + 500^2) + 6000
C(x) = 0.02(x - 500)^2 + 6000
Now if you look at the answer you will find that the square is completed. That means that number of tractors you could produce is 500 at a cost of 6000
There is a flow to this question that you may have trouble understanding.
First of all the 500^2. That comes from taking 1/2 of 1000 and squaring it. That's what you need to complete the square.
Bur that is not what you have adding into the equation. Remember that there is a 0.02 in front of the brackets.
500^2 = 250000
0.02 * 250000 = 5000
So that number must be subtracted to make the square = 0. When you remove the brackets, you should get 11000 all in all.
So what you have outside the brackets is 11000 - 5000 = 6000
The rest is just standard for completing the square.
