1. Describe how factoring a quadratic expression ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 1, is different from factoring x2 + bx + c.

2. Two students factored 2x2 + 6x – 20. Keiko said that the factorization was (2x – 4)(x + 5). Ray gave the factorization as (x – 2)(2x + 10). Confirm that both of these factorizations are correct. Then explain why they are not complete.

3. Explain the relationship between the factors of a quadratic expression, the roots of the related quadratic equation, and the x-intercepts of the graph of the related function.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Dividing the expressions [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] by a is a different step.

2. Yes, both of these factorization are correct. They are not complete because they can be factored further.

3. The roots of the related quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of of the related function and factors of the expression are difference of x and roots of the related quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

To factorize the quadratic expressions [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] first we divide it by a. Then we factorize it same as [tex]x^2+bx+c[/tex].

It means all the steps of factoring a quadratic expressions [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] and [tex]x^2+bx+c[/tex] are same except the first step, i.e., divide the expressions [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] by a.

2.

The given quadratic expression is

[tex]P(x)=2x^2+6x-20[/tex]

[tex](2x-4)(x+5)=2x(x+5)-4(x+5)\Rightarrow 2x^2+10x-4x-20=2x^2+6x-20=P(x)[/tex]

[tex](x-2)(2x+10)=x(2x+10)-2(2x+10)\Rightarrow 2x^2+10x-4x-20=2x^2+6x-20=P(x)[/tex]

The product of factors is equal to the given expression. It means both of these factorization are correct.

They are not complete because they can be factored further.

[tex](2x-4)(x+5)=2(x-2)(x+5)[/tex]

[tex](x-2)(2x+10)=(x-2)2(x+5)[/tex]

3.

If the factored form of a quadratic expression is defined as

[tex](x-a)(x-b)[/tex]

Then the related quadratic equation is

[tex](x-a)(x-b)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=a,b[/tex]

The roots of the quadratic equation are a and b.

The related function is

[tex]f(x)=(x-a)(x-b)[/tex]

The x-intercepts of the function are a and b because at x=a and x=b the value of function is 0.

The roots of the related quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of of the related function and factors of the expression are difference of x and roots of the related quadratic equation.

Answer 2

It should be noted that in order to factorize the quadratic expression, one will have to divide it by a.

Factorization

The factorization of the quadratic expression ax² + bx + c is different from factoring x² + bx + c as one has to first divide it by a.

Secondly, the factorization by the students isn't complete because they can be factored further.

Lastly, the relationship between the factors of a quadratic expression, the roots of the related quadratic equation is that the roots are the x-intercept of the related function.

A new restaurant is to contain​ two-seat tables and​ four-seat tables. Fire codes limit the​ restaurant's maximum occupancy to 72 customers. If the owners have hired enough servers to handle 22 tables of​ customers, how many of each kind of table should they​ purchase?

Answers

Let t and f be the number to two and four seat tables respectively.

t+f=22, solve for t

t=22-f, then we are told that capacity must be less than or equal to 72 people.

2t+4f≤72, using t found above in this equation we get:

2(22-f)+4f≤72 perform indicated multiplication on left side

44-2f+4f≤72  combine like terms on left side

44+2f≤72  subtract 44 from both sides

2f≤28  divide both sides by 2

f≤14  Since f=integer

f=14, and since t=22-f

t=8

So they should purchase 14 four seat tables and 8 two seat tables.
Final answer:

To adhere to the fire code and server capacity, the restaurant should ideally buy 18 four-seat tables and 4 two-seat tables. This results in a total of 22 tables and maximizes seating capacity at 72.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using a system of linear equations. Let's denote the number of two-seat tables as T and the number of four-seat tables as F.

From the information given, we can establish two equations:

The total number of tables must not exceed 22, so T + F ≤ 22The total number of seats cannot exceed 72, so 2T + 4F ≤ 72

To figure out how many of each type of table they should purchase, we need to solve this system of equations.

The goal is to maximize the number of customers (seats) while not exceeding the limits on tables and seats. So, a possible solution to maximize seating would be to have 18 four-seat tables (F = 18) and 4 two-seat tables (T = 4). This gives a total of 22 tables and 72 seats.

twice a number and 5 more is 100

Answers

Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you with answering this question today, and will be teaching you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our problem.
"Twice a number and 5 more is 100."
Based on this context, we are looking for a specific number to plug in.

To solve for this, I will rewrite the problem. As I do so, I will be writing (in parenthesis) the translation of an equation.

Twice a number (2x) and 5 more (+5) is 100 (=100).

Let's rewrite everything that's in parenthesis.
2x + 5 = 100

This is our equation.
To solve for this, we will need to do some basic algebra. Of course, I will teach you how to handle this on your own in future scenarios.

2x + 5 = 100
To solve for x, we need  to isolate 2x, and then divide both sides by 2.

2x + 5 = 100
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2x.
5 - 5 = 0
100 - 5 = 95

We now have the following equation:
2x = 95
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.

2x / 2 = x
95 / 2 = 47.5

x = 47.5

47.5 is your number.

I hope this helps!

Crystal reads 25 pages in 1/2 hours write an equation to represnets the relationship between the number of pages crystal reads and how much time she spends reading.

Answers

Crystal would read 37.5 pages in [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex] hour.

To represent the relationship between the number of pages Crystal reads and the time she spends reading, we can use the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Pages Read} = \text{Reading Rate} \times \text{Time Spent Reading} \][/tex]

In this case, Crystal reads 25 pages in 1/2 hour, so her reading rate can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\[ \text{Reading Rate} = \frac{\text{Pages Read}}{\text{Time Spent Reading}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Reading Rate} = \frac{25 \text{ pages}}{\frac{1}{2} \text{ hour}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Reading Rate} = 25 \times 2 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Reading Rate} = 50 \text{ pages per hour} \][/tex]

Now, we can substitute this reading rate into the equation to represent the relationship:

[tex]\[ \text{Pages Read} = 50 \times \text{Time Spent Reading} \][/tex]

This equation describes the relationship between the number of pages Crystal reads and the time she spends reading.

To illustrate how to use this equation, let's say Crystal reads for [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex] hour. We can plug this value into the equation to find out how many pages she reads:

[tex]\[ \text{Pages Read} = 50 \times \frac{3}{4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Pages Read} = 37.5 \][/tex]

So, Crystal would read 37.5 pages in [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex] hour.

Answers

if A=ab and B=ba then A-B=ab-ba which means 10a+b-10b-a=9a-9b=9(a-b)

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example: so

The difference between the larger of the two numbers and the smaller of the two numbers.

A - B or B - A (whichever is greater)

If we transpose the digits of a two-digit number A to form B, then:

A = 10a + b, where a is the tens digit and b is the one's digit

B = 10b + a, where b is the tens digit and a is the one's digit

The difference between the two numbers.

= A - B

= (10a + b) - (10b + a)

= 9a - 9b

= 9(a - b)

or

B - A

= (10b + a) - (10a + b)

= 9b - 9a

= 9(b - a)

Either way, the difference is a multiple of 9, so it is always divisible by 9.

A baseball is hit with an initial upward velocity of 70 feet per second from a height of 4 feet above the ground. The equation h= −16t^2 +70t + 4 models the height in feet t seconds after it is hit. After the ball gets to its maximum height, it comes down and is caught by another player at a height of 6 feet above the ground. About how long after it was hit does it get caught?

Answers

To solve you need to set the equation equal to 6 (the height at which the player caught the ball.

6 = -16t^2 + 70t + 4

Next put the equation in standard form by subtracting 6 from both sides

-16t^2 + 70t - 2 = 0

This equation can be simplified by dividing by 2

-8t^2 + 35t - 1 = 0

This equation cannot be factored, but we can use the quadratic formula to find a value for x. Using the equation above we can find the values for a=-8, b = 35 and c = -1.

using the quadratic formula we can solve for x

-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)
-------------------------------
       2a

The solutions are

0.03 and 4.35. as 0.03 seems an unrealistic time to hit and catch a baseball we would expect the time to be 4.35 seconds.
Final answer:

By setting the given height (6 feet) in the height equation and using the quadratic formula to solve for time 't', we get two solutions. Since the ball reaches 6 feet twice in its ascension and decension, the latter value of t = 3.79 seconds would be the time it is caught.

Explanation:

The question is regarding the time at which a baseball, hit with an initial upward velocity and caught at 6 feet above the ground, is caught. Firstly, input the given height of 6 feet into the height equation h= -16t^2 + 70t + 4 and solve for

t

. Based on the quadratic formula, we receive two solutions: t = 3.79 s and t = 0.54 s. Since the ball has two points at which it reaches the height of 6 feet during its trajectory - once while going up and once while coming down - the time when it is caught would be the larger value,

t = 3.79 s

. Therefore, approximately 3.79 seconds after being hit, the ball is caught.

X is the age of the baby in months, but every 4 months so you have to divide and times by two due to the fact that it has to be multiplied by 2. Which leads it to be...




Y= 2x/4+10
Final answer:

The equation of the line that describes the baby's weight is y = (1/2)x + 10.

Explanation:

To find the equation of the line that describes the baby's weight, we need to determine the slope and y-intercept of the line. The slope represents the rate at which the baby's weight increases, and the y-intercept represents the initial weight of the baby.  

Since the baby gains 2 pounds every 4 months, the slope of the line is 2/4 = 1/2. This means that for every month that passes, the baby's weight increases by 1/2 pound.  

To find the y-intercept, we can use the initial weight of the baby, which is 10 pounds. So the equation of the line is y = (1/2)x + 10.

x≈3.71 ft

y≈23.71 ft
Final answer:

We can find the lengths of the legs of the right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. One leg is x and the other leg is x+20. A quadratic equation can be solved to find x.

Explanation:

The problem involves a right triangle, and we are given the length of the hypotenuse and a relationship between the lengths of the legs. We can solve it using the Pythagorean theorem, which for a right triangle with legs of lengths 'a' and 'b' and hypotenuse 'c' is stated as a² + b² = c².

Let's assign 'x' to the shorter leg. Given that the other leg is 20ft longer, it would be 'x + 20'. The hypotenuse is given as 24, hence the equation becomes: x² + (x + 20)² = 24².

By solving this equation, we find two potential values for 'x', but since a length can't be negative, we exclude the negative value. Hence, the length of the shorter leg is 'x' and of the longer leg is 'x + 20'.

The cubes along both lengths would be touching the sides of the box for the remaining 16 layers. That would be16 cubes per layer or 256 cubes after counting both sides.

 

The cubes along the width would be touching the ends of the box for those 16 layers. Those need to be eliminated from the count since the corner cubes were already counted as part of the ones touching the sides. 4 cubes have not been previously counted for each width of 6 cubes. Both ends of the 16 layers has 8 cubes per layer or 128 cubes.

A store stocked 150 cans of popcorn for a weekend sale.
That weekend, 72 of the cans sold. What percent of the
cans of popcorn stocked were sold that weekend?

Answers

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percentage we need to divide the sold cans by total cans and multiply the result by 100.

Total cans = 150

Sold cans = 72

→ 72/150 = 0.48

→ 0.48 * 100 = 48

The percentage of the cans of popcorn stocked were sold that weekend is 48%

The given parameters are:

Total can of popcorn = 150

Sold can of popcorn = 72

The percentage of can sold is then calculated as:

[tex]\%Sold = \frac{72}{150} *100\%[/tex]

Multiply 72 and 100

[tex]\%Sold = \frac{7200}{150}\%[/tex]

The area, a, of an ellipse can be determined using the formula a=TTxy where x and y are half the lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse. Which is an equivalent equation solved for y

Answers

[tex]a=\pi xy[/tex]

To solve for y, divide both sides by [tex]\pi x[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{a}{\pi x}[/tex]

Answer:

Area of an ellipse(a), ,having x and y being the  lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse = π xy

  The  lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse is called Major Axis and Minor axis of the ellipse.

  [tex]\rightarrow a=\pi x y\\\\\rightarrow y=\frac{a}{\pi \times x}[/tex]

What effect does adding a constant have on a exponential function?

Answers

For any rational function, when you add a constant term, assuming it's x

Then your function will be shifted up by x units. 

Notice, if x is negative, then shifted up by negative number means shifted down by the absolute value
Final answer:

Adding a constant to an exponential function results in shifting the graph vertically or horizontally, depending on where the constant is added. The shift will be positive for a positive constant and negative for a negative constant.

Explanation:

In Mathematics, when dealing with an exponential function, adding a constant can affect the function in two different ways, depending on where the constant is being added. If the constant is added to the exponent, this results in shifting the graph horizontally. However, if the constant is added outside the exponent (as in f(x) = 2x + k), this will result in the entire graph being shifted upward or downward vertically, based on whether the constant is positive or negative.
For example, consider the simple exponential function f(x) = 2x. If a constant 'c' is added - resulting in f(x) = 2x + c, the resulting graph will be the same as the original, but shifted 'c' units upward if 'c' is positive and downward if 'c' is negative. This is a fundamental principle of exponential functions.

20 PTS!!!Each month, Matthew gets a $25 allowance and earns $100 mowing lawns. He uses the expression 25x + 100y to keep track of his earnings.
Part A: Identify the variables and coefficients in the expression. (3 points)
Part B: How many terms are in the expression, what are they, and how do you know? (4 points)
Part C: Which term in the expression shows the total earned from mowing lawns? (3 points)

Answers

Part A
The variables would be x and y where as the coefficients would be 25 and 100

Part B
There are two terms in the expression, those being 25x and 100y. This is because s plus or minus sign separates terms, and in this case, we only have one plus sign.

Part C
The term that represents the total earnings from mowing lawns in 100y, because the prompt says that he earns $100 mowing lawns.
