Answer: -4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of a segment is located at the same distance of each of the endpoints of the segment.
The midpoint is at x = 1.
The length of the segment is 10.5, if we divide it by two we have:
10.5/2 = 5.25
Now, if we want the endpoints to be at the same distance of the midpoint, then the endpoints will be:
Xmax = midpoint + 5.25
Xmin = midpoint - 5.25
Then the extremes are:
Xmax = 1 + 5.25 = 6.25
Xmin = 1 - 5.25 = -4.25
Then this segment can be written as:
Xmin ≤ x ≤ Xmax
-4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Answer: h=7
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition the function in vertex form is:
Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
You must group the terms that contain the same variable in the function:
Complete the square as following:
Now you must rewrite it as following:
Then:
h=7
2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480
ANSWER: 480 cartons
