Answer:

You have a maximum when the parabola opens down (-x^2), and a minimum when it opens up (+x^2). In your case, it opens down because of the -. That is the special notation, the vertex of the parabola is already there.

Solve for x: 6x-4 over 3+2x=5/6

$Domain:\\\\3+2x\neq0\to x\neq-1.5\\\\\dfrac{6x-4}{3+2x}=\dfrac{5}{6}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\6(6x-4)=5(3+2x)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(6)(6x)+(6)(-4)=(5)(3)+(5)(2x)\\\\36x-24=15+10x\qquad\text{add 24 to both sides}\\\\36x=39+10x\qquad\text{subtract 10x from both sides}\\\\26x=39\qquad\text{divide both sides by 26}\\\\x=\dfrac{39}{26}\\\\x=\dfrac{39:13}{26:13}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{3}{2}}\in D$

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 800,000 to 500,000 in 6 hours after the administration of

kupik [55]

Answer:

We can assume that the decline in the population is an exponential decay.

An exponential decay can be written as:

P(t) = A*b^t

Where A is the initial population, b is the base and t is the variable, in this case, number of hours.

We know that: A = 800,000.

P(t) = 800,000*b^t

And we know that after 6 hours, the popuation was 500,000:

p(6h) = 500,000 = 800,000*b^6

then we have that:

b^6 = 500,000/800,000 = 5/8

b = (5/8)^(1/6) = 0.925

Then our equation is:

P(t) = 800,000*0.925^t

Now, the population after 24 hours will be:

P(24) = 800,000*0.925^24 = 123,166

Which pair of words describes this system of equations 3y=9x-6 2y+6x=4

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Consistent and dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3y = 9x - 6$

$2y + 6x = 4$

Required

The words that describe the equations

Make y the subject in (2)

$2y + 6x = 4$

Collect like terms

$2y = 4 - 6x$

Divide through by 2

$y = 2 - 3x$

Substitute: $y = 2 - 3x$ in (1)

$3y = 9x - 6$

$3(2 - 3x) = 9x - 6$

$6 - 9x = 9x - 6$

Collect like terms

$9x+9x = 6+6$

$18x = 12$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{12}{18}$

Simplify

$x = \frac{2}{3}$

Substitute $x = \frac{2}{3}$ in $y = 2 - 3x$

$y = 2 - 3*\frac{2}{3}$

$y = 2 - 2$

$y =0$

So, we have:

$x = \frac{2}{3}$ and $y =0$

<em>The system is consistent because it has at least 1 solution</em>

<em>The system is dependent because it has more than 1 solution</em>
