Answer:

Ok so this concept is kind of hard to explain, but basically the two equations are equal because you are adding 9/4 and then subtracting 9/4, so you just end up with 0. The reason you do that is so you can make the (x + 3/2)^2 part, which you wouldn't be able to do without the 9/4/

When changing something to Vertex form you have the, in this case, coefficient to 3x which is 3 then square it. So you half it to 3/2 then square the fraction which becomes 9/4. Because you are adding the 9/4 in order to make this a perfect square you have to subtract it on the outside too leaving you with the answer provided.

In short:

When changing to stand form you need to half and square the X term to get the x intercept.

Answer:

2cm of Rainfall

Step-by-step explanation:

When the no. of mosquitoes is the highest the slope of graph will be zero

so if we differentiate this function and equate to zero we can find the rainfall amount that gives maximum number of mosquitoes in centimetres.

m(x)= -x²+4x

differentiate

d(x)/d(m(x))= -2x+4

equate to zero

-2x+4=0

2x=4

x=2

answer: 2 cm of rain
