Sam completed the square for the quadratic equation y=12x2−2x+3 in order to determine the minimum value of the equation, as show

n.
Step 1: y=12(x2−1x+32)
Step 2: y=12(x2−x+14−14+32)
Step 3: y=12((x−12)2−14+32)
Step 4: y=12((x−12)2+54)
Step 5: y=12(x−12)2+58

In Step 1, she incorrectly factored out 1/2. She should have written y=1/2(x^2−4x+6).

An item that cost $5.50 is marked up %60. What is the new price of the item after the markup? Show work please​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$8.80

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the new price, you need to add 60% of the original price (5.50) to the original price. You have two options:

1) multiply $5.50*0.6 to get 60% of the original price. You would get $3.30. Then add $3.30+$5.50, which equals $8.80. This way takes longer but shows you all the steps.

2) The shorter way is to simply multiply $5.50*1.6, which also equals $8.80. This works because the "1" automatically adds the 5.50 to 60% of the original price, this way you don't have to multiply then add.

If you don't understand how the second way works or your teacher taught you #1, just do it the first way.

In a class of 28 pupils, if 12 are females. Calculate the ratio of males : total
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

16 : 28

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 out of the 28 pupils are female, we can calculate the number of males by subtracting the number of females from the total number of pupils.

28 - 12 = 16

So, there are 16 males in the class. Now, we know that the ratio of males : total is 16 : 28.

I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)

(brainliest is much appreciated!!)
