1. The amount of extension in an elastic spring varies directly as the weight hung on it. If a weight of 150 gm produces an exte
1 answer:
Answer:
900 g
Step-by-step explanation:
let e be extension and w be weight
given e varies directly as w then the equation relating them is
e = kw ← k is the constant of variation
to find k use the condition w = 150 , e = 2.9 , then
2.9 = 150k ( divide both sides by 150 )
= k , that is
k =
e = w ← equation of variation
when e = 17.4 , then
17.4 = w ( multiply both sides by 1500 )
26100 = 29w ( divide both sides by 29 )
900 = w

You have to complete the square to get it into vertex form. Do this by setting the function equal to zero and at the same time moving the constant over to the other side of the equals sign so you have this: 
. Now we can complete the square on the polynomial by taking half the linear term, squaring it, and adding it to both sides. Our linear term is 4. Half of 4 is 2, and 2 squared is 4, so we add 4 to both sides: 
and simplify to get 
. In this process we have created a perfect square binomial on the left, which happens to be 
. Now move the -6 back over by addition to get 
. The vertex is found at (-2, 6), the third choice down.
