Answer: 55x + 75 = 350; 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

- A flat fee is $75

- John charges $55 an hour

- The total charge is $350

We need to write an equation to find how many hours John works.

<em>x </em>will represent hours worked.

55x + 75 = 350

We now need to solve for x.

Subtract 75 from both sides.

55x + 75 - 75 = 350 - 75

Simplify.

55x = 275

Divide 55 from both sides.

55x/55 = 275/55

Simplify.

x = 5

John worked 5 hours.

To check our work, we just plug in our x value!

55(5) + 75

275 + 75 = 350

Maya is making dream catchers with her family. Each dream catcher takes 1.53 feet of string. She has 6 people in her family. How much string does Maya need total?

1.53*6=9.18

You know where to put the decimal because you count how many places in the decimal is for the two numbers being multiplied (the only decimal in the two numbers being multiplied is in the number 1.53 and that’s is two places in) and then go that many places in on the product (918 two places in from then right would be 9.18)

What is the area of the sector shown in the picture

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The area of the sector shown is 4.75 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to know what fraction of the total circle that part represents

for that we divide 45 by 360

45/360 = 1/8

now we calculate the area of the circle and divide it by 8

a = ( π * 6² ) / 8

a = ( π * 36 ) / 8

a = π * 4.75

a = 4.75 pi

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Part 1) $2(x-3)^{2}-17=0$ (the missing steps in the explanation)

Part 3) (8, 4); The vertex represents the maximum profit

Part 4) x = 3.58, 0.42

Part 5) x = 6, x = 44; The zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made

Part 6) 2(x − 7)2 + 118; x = $7

Part 7) The maximum height of the puck is 4 feet. −(x − 4)^2 + 6

Part 8) (x + 3)^2 − 4

Part 9) 2(x − 1)^2 = 4

Part 10) 8(x − 4)^2 + 592

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$2x^{2} -12x+1=0$

Convert to vertex form

step 1

Factor the leading coefficient and complete the square

$2(x^{2} -6x)+1=0$

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)+1-18=0$

step 2

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)+1-18=0$

$2(x^{2} -6x+9)-17=0$

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x-3)^{2}-17=0$

Part 3) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+16x-60$

we know that

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Convert to vertex form

$f(x)+60=-x^{2}+16x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)+60=-(x^{2}-16x)$

Complete the squares

$f(x)+60-64=-(x^{2}-16x+64)$

$f(x)-4=-(x^{2}-16x+64)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-4=-(x-8)^{2}$

$f(x)=-(x-8)^{2}+4$

The vertex is the point (8,4)

The vertex represent the maximum profit

Part 4) Solve for x

we have

$-2(x-2)^{2}+5=0$

$-2(x-2)^{2}=-5$

$(x-2)^{2}=2.5$

square root both sides

$(x-2)=(+/-)1.58$

$x=2(+/-)1.58$

$x=2(+)1.58=3.58$

$x=2(-)1.58=0.42$

Part 5) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+50x-264$

we know that

The zeros or x-intercepts are the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

In this context the zeros represent the number of monthly memberships where no profit is made

To find the zeros equate the function to zero

$-x^{2}+50x-264=0$

$-x^{2}+50x=264$

Factor -1 of the leading coefficient

$-(x^{2}-50x)=264$

Complete the squares

$-(x^{2}-50x+625)=264-625$

$-(x^{2}-50x+625)=-361$

$(x^{2}-50x+625)=361$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-25)^{2}=361$

square root both sides

$(x-25)=(+/-)19$

$x=25(+/-)19$

$x=25(+)19=44$

$x=25(-)19=6$

Part 6) we have

$-2x^{2}+28x+20$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Convert the equation into vertex form

Factor the leading coefficient

$-2(x^{2}-14x)+20$

Complete the square

$-2(x^{2}-14x+49)+20+98$

$-2(x^{2}-14x+49)+118$

Rewrite as perfect square

$-2(x-7)^{2}+118$

The vertex is the point (7,118)

therefore

The video game price that produces the highest weekly profit is x=$7

Part 7) we have

$f(x)=-x^{2}+8x-10$

Convert to vertex form

$f(x)+10=-x^{2}+8x$

Factor -1 the leading coefficient

$f(x)+10=-(x^{2}-8x)$

Complete the square

$f(x)+10-16=-(x^{2}-8x+16)$

$f(x)-6=-(x^{2}-8x+16)$

Rewrite as perfect square

$f(x)-6=-(x-4)^{2}$

$f(x)=-(x-4)^{2}+6$

The vertex is the point (4,6)

therefore

The maximum height of the puck is 4 feet.

Part 8) we have

$x^{2}+6x+5$

Convert to vertex form

Group terms

$(x^{2}+6x)+5$

Complete the square

$(x^{2}+6x+9)+5-9$

$(x^{2}+6x+9)-4$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+3)^{2}-4$

Part 9) we have

$2x^{2}-4x-2=0$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 2 the leading coefficient

$2(x^{2}-2x)-2=0$

Complete the square

$2(x^{2}-2x+1)-2-2=0$

$2(x^{2}-2x+1)-4=0$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2(x-1)^{2}-4=0$

$2(x-1)^{2}=4$

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

Part 10) we have

$8x^{2}-64x+720$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 8 the leading coefficient

$8(x^{2}-8x)+720$

Complete the square

$8(x^{2}-8x+16)+720-128$

$8(x^{2}-8x+16)+592$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$8(x-4)^{2}+592$

the vertex is the point (4,592)

The population has a minimum at x=4 years ( that is after 4 years since 1998 )
