Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]h(x)=2x^2+14x-60[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by two methods

Method 1: Substitute x=3 and x=-10 in all the equations and determine which equals to zero (ie., check h(3)=0 and h(-10)=0 for all the equations)

Equation 1

[tex]h(x)=x^2-13x-30[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=3^2-13(3)-30[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=-60[/tex]

As h(3)≠0, Equation 1 is discounted

Equation 2

[tex]h(x)=x^2-7x-30[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=3^2-7(3)-30[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=-42[/tex]

As h(3)≠0, Equation 2 is discounted

Equation 3

[tex]h(x)=2x^2+26x-60[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=2(3)^2+26(3)-60[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=36[/tex]

As h(3)≠0, Equation 3 is discounted

Equation 4

[tex]h(x)=2x^2+14x-60[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=2(3)^2+14(3)-60[/tex]

[tex]h(3)=0[/tex]

[tex]h(x)=2x^2+14x-60[/tex]

[tex]h(-10)=2(-10)^2+14(-10)-60[/tex]

[tex]h(-10)=0[/tex]

As h(3)=0 and h(-10)=0, Equation 4 represents h(x)

Method 2: Solve to find the roots of each equation where h(x)=0 using the quadratic formula. Roots should be x=3,x=-10

The quadratic formula is:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

where a, b and c are as below

[tex]h(x)=ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

Equation 1

[tex]h(x)=x^2-13x-30=0[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{13\±\sqrt{(-13)^2-4(1)(-30)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]x=15,x=-2[/tex]

As roots are not x=3 and x=-10, Equation 1 is discounted

Equation 2

[tex]h(x)=x^2-7x-30[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-(-7)\±\sqrt{(-7)^2-4(1)(-30)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]x=10,x=-3[/tex]

As roots are not x=3 and x=-10, Equation 2 is discounted

Equation 3

[tex]h(x)=2x^2+26x-60[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-(26)\±\sqrt{(26)^2-4(2)(-60)}}{2(2)}[/tex]

[tex]x=2,x=-15[/tex]

As roots are not x=3 and x=-10, Equation 3 is discounted

Equation 4

[tex]h(x)=2x^2+14x-60[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-(14)\±\sqrt{(14)^2-4(2)(-60)}}{2(2)}[/tex]

[tex]x=3,x=-10[/tex]

As roots are x=3 and x=-10, Equation 4 represents h(x)

Write two equations in standard form that are equivalent to the given equation.
1.5x+10y=15
2.-9x-12y=6
3.-2x+4y=-5

Answers

1.) 5x + 10y = 15 => x + 2y = 3 => 3x + 6y = 9

2.) -9x - 12y = 6 => 9x + 12y = -6 => 3x + 4y = -2

3.) -2x + 4y = -5 => 2x - 4y = 5 => 4x - 8y = 10
Final answer:

Equivalent equations can be created by multiplying or dividing the original equation by any nonzero constant. Lifting the coefficients of the given equations accordingly can create multiple equivalent equations.

Explanation:

To create two equations that are equivalent to the given equation 1.5x + 10y = 15, we can multiply the entire equation by a nonzero constant.  By multiplying by 2, we obtain 3x + 20y = 30. Conversely, dividing the original equation by 3 gives us 0.5x + 3.3333y = 5.

Applying the same concept to the second equation -9x - 12y = 6, multiplying by 2 gives us -18x - 24y = 12, and dividing by 3 gives us -3x - 4y = 2.

For the third equation -2x + 4y = -5, multiplying by any nonzero constant yields an equivalent equation. Multiplying by 2, we get -4x + 8y = -10, and dividing by 2 gives us -1x + 2y = -2.5.

Answers

Here is the solution for the given problem above.
Given that in the whole pizza, 2/5 of it is pepperoni (which makes 3/5 of the pizza has different flavor). What we are going to find is how much of all the pizza ordered was eaten by the kids, since only 1/3 of the pepperoni pizza is eaten by them. So to solve this, we will multiply 1/3 by 2/5 and the answer would be 2/15. Therefore, the answer is 2/15 of the pizza was eaten by the kids.

I'm not sure why though this is right because I graphed it, and I don't see how that could be the right answer.

Answer:

Option A - It shrinks the graph vertically to 1/2 its original height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In the function [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x^2[/tex]

To find : What effect does the number [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] have on the graph, as compared to the graph of the function [tex]y=x^2[/tex] ?

Solution :

The parent function is [tex]y=x^2[/tex]

We have given that  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] number is multiply to the parent function.

When the unit is multiply to the function gives you vertical stretch or compression

i.e, f(x)→ bf(x), o<b<1 then the function is vertically compressed.

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x^2[/tex] As  [tex]0<\frac{1}{2}<1[/tex] means there is vertical compression or shrinks.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

It shrinks the graph vertically to 1/2 its original height.

The number of students at marita's school decreased to 98% of last year's number currently there are 1170 students how many students were there last year round to the nearest whole number

Answers

There were about 1194 students at Marita's school last year.

To find the number of students last year when the current number is 1170 and represents 98% of last year's number, you can set up a simple equation.

Let "x" represent the number of students last year.

According to the given information, the current number of students is 98% of last year's number, which can be expressed as:

1170 = 0.98x.

To find the value of "x," you need to divide 1170 by 0.98:

[tex]\(x = \frac{1170}{0.98} = 1193.877\).[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, last year's number of students was approximately 1194.

So, there were about 1194 students at Marita's school last year.

Part 1 : When solving systems of equations, how do you determine what method to use?

Part 2 : Choose 1 system of equations from the choices below. Then, solve the system and post your solution, showing your steps so that other students can see which method you chose.

–y + 3x = 6
y = –6x + 12


6x – 4y = 54
–9x + 2y = –69


2y = x + 1
–2x – y = 7
...?

Answers

Part 1. The selection of method to use for solving system of equations is a matter of arbitrary choice. That is, what's convenient for you. For me, elimination is easier.
Part 2. I'll try solving the second system.6x-4y = 54-9x+2y = -69
Multiplying the first equation by 9 and the second equation by 6.
 54x - 36y = 486-54x + 12y = -414
Adding the two equations,
-24y = 72y = -3
Subtitute back to one of the equations,-9x + 2y = -69-9x + 2(-3) = -6969 - 6 = 9x9x = 63x = 7
The solution is then (7, -3).
Final answer:

To solve systems of equations, select a method based on the system's setup; using substitution, we solve the given system and find the solution to be (2, 0).

Explanation:

When solving systems of equations, one must choose the method that best fits the problem's constraints. Methods include substitution, elimination, and graphing. The method selected often depends on how the equations are presented and which method allows for the most straightforward calculation.

Choosing the system –y + 3x = 6 and y = –6x + 12, we can solve it using substitution since the second equation is already solved for y:

Substitute the expression for y from the second equation into the first.So –(–6x + 12) + 3x = 6.Simplify to get 6x – 12 + 3x = 6.Combine like terms to get 9x – 12 = 6.Add 12 to both sides to get 9x = 18.Divide by 9 to find x = 2.Plug x back into the second equation to get y = –6(2) + 12, hence y = 0.

Our solution is (x, y) = (2, 0).

Final answer:

The statement is true for linear functions, but not in general for all functions.

Explanation:

The statement is true if f(x) is a linear function.

However, it is not true in general for all functions, so the statement is false.

An example of a linear function where the statement is true would be f(x) = 2x.

If we substitute s + t into the function, we get f(s + t) = 2(s + t) = 2s + 2t.

On the other hand, if we substitute f(s) + f(t) into the function, we get f(s) + f(t) = 2s + 2t.

Therefore, the equality holds and the statement is true for linear functions.

A baker bought some flour. he used 2/5 of the flour to make bread and used the rest to make batches of muffins. if he used 16ib. of flour making bread and 2/3ib.for watch batch of muffins,how many batches of muffins did he make?

Answers

So if 16 is 2/5, then 16 ÷ 2 is 1/5 which is 8. Knowing this, we can multiply 8 by 3 to get the amount of flour he uses in muffins, which is 24. If he uses 2/3lbs for each batch of muffins, then you have to do 24 ÷ 2/3 which is 36. So he makes 36 batches of muffins. Hope this helps!

Answer:

The baker made 36 batches of muffins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount of flour be x

We know he used 2/5 of the flour for bread, we also know he used 16 pounds for bread.

We can write this as :

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\times x=16[/tex]

Solving this we get;

[tex]2x=80[/tex]

So, x = 40

Means total amount of flour was 40 pounds and he used 16 pounds for bread, so the remaining is for batches of muffins, which is [tex]40-16=24[/tex] pounds

As each batch of muffin uses 2/3 pounds, so 24 pounds of flour will be used to bake :

[tex]\frac{24}{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{24\times3}{2} =36[/tex]

Hence, the baker made 36 batches of muffins.

Algebra 2 Word Problem: Set up using 3 variables & 3 equations:
"A friend e-mails you the results of a recent high school swim meet. The e-mail states that 24 individuals placed, earning a combined total of 53 points. First place earned 3 points, second place earned 2 points, and third place earned 1 point. There were as many first-place finishers as second and third-place finishers combined."
A: Write a system of THREE equations that represents how many people finished in each place.
B: How many swimmers finished in first place, second and third?

Answers

Final answer:

To solve the word problem, we define three variables representing the number of first-, second-, and third-place finishers, respectively. We set up three linear equations based on the information provided, and by solving the system, we determined that 10 swimmers finished in first place, 8 in second, and 6 in third.

Explanation:

Setting Up the Equations

Let's denote the number of first-place finishers as x, second-place finishers as y, and third-place finishers as z. According to the information provided:

Total number of individuals placed: x + y + z = 24

Total points earned: 3x + 2y + z = 53

The number of first-place finishers equals the number of second and third-place finishers combined: x = y + z

This is our system of three equations.

Solving the System of Equations

To solve for the number of swimmers in each place, use the substitution or elimination method:

Since x = y + z, substitute x in the first two equations.

You'll get two equations with two variables (y and z).

Solve these equations to find the values of y and z.

Finally, substitute the found y and z back into x = y + z to get the value of x.

By solving this system, we find that 10 swimmers finished in first place, 8 swimmers finished in second, and 6 swimmers finished in third.
