n, n+1 - two consecutive integers
n(n + 1) = 50 <em>use distributive property</em>
n² + n = 50 <em>subtract 50 from both sides</em>
n² + n - 50 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------
ax² + bx + c =0
if b² - 4ac > 0 then we have two solutions:
[-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and [-b - √(b² + 4ac)]/2a
if b² - 4ac = 0 then we have one solution -b/2a
if b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solution
----------------------------------------------------------
n² + n - 50 = 0
a = 1, b = 1, c = -50
b² - 4ac = 1² - 4(1)(-50) = 1 + 200 = 201 > 0 → two solutions
√(b² - 4ac) = √(201) - it's the irrational number
Answer: There are no two consecutive integers whose product is 50.
Carry out the mult.: f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189]
Combine like terms: f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [ ]: f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c: a= -1, b=12, c=189
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), which here equals
x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or x = 6
This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.
Answer:
C. 150
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people who took the test is unknown, so call it x.
34% of x liked the flavor.
51 people liked the flavor.
That means that 34% of x is equal to 51.
34% of x = 51
0.34x = 51
x = 51/0.34
x = 150
