For x-intercepts "b" and "c", a quadratic can be written as
y = a(x -b)(x -c)
You know the x-intercepts, so you can write the equation as
y = a(x +2)(x -3) . . . . . . eliminates the first two answer choices
Substituting (x, y) = (-1, 2), you have
2 = a(-1+2)(-1-3) = -4a
Then dividing by -4 gives
-2/4 = a = -1/2 . . . . . corresponds to the third answer choice
The appropriate selection is
y = -1/2 (x + 2)(x - 3)
To answer the question, let x be the number of pounds of coffee worth $9. Having said that, the number of pounds of coffee worth $3 is 120 - x. The equation relating the items before and after mixing is,
(x)($9) + (120 - x)($3) = (120)($5)
The value of x is 40. Therefore, the amount of coffee worth $9 and $3 to be used are 40 and 80 pounds, respectively.
Answer:
x = 30
2x = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + x = 90
3x = 90
x = 30
2(30) = 60
The area of the pond is
Area = l * w
Area = 50 * 50
Area = 2500 square meters.
Then there is a sidewalk with 5 meters wide around the pond.
So the new dimension is
60 * 60
Area = 60 * 60
Area = 3600
Then at 45 m^2 = $74
= 3600 / 45 * 74
= $5,920
So the total cost of tile is $5,920.
