Express the function f(x) =3x^2-6x-18 in the form a(x + h)^2=k, where a, h and k are constants.Hence state the :
(i) the minimum value of f(x).
(ii) the value of x for which f (x) is a minimum

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =3x^2-6x-18

Factor out the greatest common factor out of the first two terms

f(x) =3(x^2-2x)-18

Complete the square

-2x/2 =-1  (-1)^2 = 1

Add 1  (But remember the 3 out front so we are really adding 3  so we need to subtract 3 to remain balanced)

f(x) = 3(x^2 -2x+1) -3 -18

f(x) = 3(x-1)^2 -21

This is vertex form

f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex and a is a constant

The vertex is (1,-21)  

Since a > 0 this opens upward and the vertex is a minimum

The minimum value of f(x) is -21 and it occurs at x = 1

solve for w: 7w < -56

Answers

Lets solve

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 7w<-56[/tex]

Take 7 to right side

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto w<dfrac{-56}{7}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto w<-8[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf w < -8}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an inequality and asked to solve for the variable w.

[tex]7w < -56[/tex]

In order to solve for w, we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 7. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the inequality by 7.

[tex]\frac {7w}{7} < \frac {-56}{7}[/tex]

[tex]w < \frac{-56}{7}[/tex]

[tex]w < -8[/tex]

w is less than -8 or w < -8.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

this is an arithmetic sequence (we add something from element to element).

"an" describes the salary during the nth year.

a1 = $3000

a2 = a1 + 600

a3 = a2 + 600 = a1 + 600 + 600 = a1 + (3-1)×600

an = a1 + (n-1)×600 = 3000 + (n-1)×600

so,

a15 = 3000 + (15-1)×600 = 3000 + 14×600 = $11400

Answer:

C. Gregory's graph is incorrect because it shows 2 inches of growth for each week, when it should show 0.75 inches of growth each week

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the plant grows 1.5 inches (y) every 2 weeks (x), it means that:

Rate of change = y/x = 1.5/2 = 0.75 inches per week

The graph he should create should have a rate of change of 0.75. that is, it should show 0.75 inches growth for every week.

The graph shown above has a rate of change of 2 inches per week.

Thus, the graph is incorrect. It should be showing 0.75 inches of growth per week instead of 2 inches.

Answer:    [tex]\fbox{C} \: \: \: \dfrac{4 \times 10^{4} }{3 \times 10^{4} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

36,070 = 3.607 · 10⁴ ≈ 4 · 10⁴

29,029 = 2.9029 · 10⁴ ≈ 3 · 10⁴

Let's how manytimes greater the distance to the bottom of Challenger Deep is than the distance to the top of Mount Everest:

[tex]\dfrac{4 \times 10^{4} }{3 \times 10^{4} }[/tex]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the question is asking how many times greater the distance to the Challenger Deep is compared to Mount Everest. This means that the Challenger Deep will be on top, with the distance to Mount Everest on the bottom.

Next, we can see that in our answers, we are only given one significant digit. This means that we have to round our original numbers to the nearest significant digit and work from there. For Challenger Deep, 36,070 must be rounded to the nearest ten thousandth as it is in the ten thousands. Therefore, it must be rounded to 40,000 or 30,000. As 36,070 is closer to 40,000 than 30,000 (we can tell this because the second number, 6, is greater than 5, so we round up), we can represent this as 40,000. For Mount Everest, we can round 29,029 to either 20,000 or 30,000. 30,000 is the appropriate choice here because 9, the second number, is greater than 5.

Therefore, our ratio is now 40,000 / 30,000 . Our answers are written in scientific notation, so we must convert our numbers to those values.

Let's start with 40,000 . Our one significant digit is 4, so we can write this as 4 * something. For each number in 10 to the power of x (x is a placeholder value), we add x amount of zeros. For example, for 4 * 10², we add 2 zeros, making it 400. There are 4 zeros here, so to write this in scientific notation, we have 4 * 10^4

Similarly, for 30,000 , we can write this as 3 * 10^4 as there are 4 zeros.

Our ratio is thus 40,000 = 4*10^4 , which is the Challenger Deep value rounded, over 30,000 = 3 * 10^4, which is the Mount Everest value rounded. We can write this as [tex]\frac{4*10^{4}}{3*10^{4}}[/tex], or C

what is soil erosion​

Answers

Answer:

Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such as wind and water. In this process, the soil particles are loosened or washed away in the valleys, oceans, rivers, streams or far away lands.

It occurs when the impact of water or wind separates and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide.

Step-by-step explanation:

10f + 3 = 23 + 6f

4f + 3 = 23

4f = 20

f = 5

Answer:

f = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

10f + 3 = 23 + 6f

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

10f + 3 - 6f = 23

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

10f - 6f = 23 - 3

Collect like terms and Subtract the numbers

4f = 23 - 3

4f = 20

Then divide both sides of the equation by 4

f = 5

The denominator of a fraction is 5 more than the numerator. if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 3, the the resulting fraction becomes 3/4. find the original fraction.

Answers

Answer:

12/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Numerator of the fraction = x

Denominator of the fraction = x + 5

The fraction is

x / (x + 5)

if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 3, the the resulting fraction becomes 3/4.

x + 3 / (x + 5) + 3 = 3/4

x + 3 / x + 8 = 3/4

Cross multiply

(x + 3)4 = (x + 8)3

4x + 12 = 3x + 24

4x - 3x = 24 - 12

x = 12

Recall,

x / (x + 5)

= 12 / (12 + 5)

= 12/17

The original equation = 12/17
