Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

in y=mx+b, m= the slope

and if you were graphing, you would put 2 on the y axis and use the rise over run strategy for the slope

hope this helped:)

A jug contains some orange juice. After pouring 240 milliliters of the orange juice into a cup, there are 875 milliliters of ora

Answer:

1,115 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The original amount of OJ is what we're trying to find, so that will be our variable, x. Now, keep in mind the order of events to write the correct equation. We started with the x amount of OJ, then 240 mL was taken away, to leave us with 875 mL. So, x - 240 = 875. Then we solve this by adding 240 to both sides to get the x alone. This gives us x=1,115 mL!

find the zeros of 2x^2 - 16x + 27 using the quadratic formula. be sure to simplify the expression. Can someone please show me ho

____ [38]

For a quadratic of the form $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ , we have the quadratic formula
$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}$ ,
where a is the coefficient (number before the variable) of the squared term, b is the coefficient of the linear term, and c is the constant term.

So, given $2x^2-16x+27=0$ , we can get that $a=2, \ b=-16$ , and $c=27$ . We substitute these numbers into the quadratic formula above.

$x=\dfrac{-(-16) \pm \sqrt{(-16)^2 -4(2)(27)} }{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{16 \pm \sqrt{(256 -216)} }{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16 \pm \sqrt{40} }{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16 \pm 2\sqrt{10} }{4}$

$x=4+ \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}, \ x=4- \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}$

This is our final answer.

If you've never seen the quadratic formula, you can derive it by completing the square for the general form of a quadratic. Note that the $\pm$ symbol (read: plus or minus) represents the two possible distinct solutions, except for zero under the radical, which gives only one solution.
