Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic function.  

This function has one solution since its discriminant is zero.

Answer:

one real solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant

[tex]b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when}\:ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac > 0 \implies \textsf{two real solutions}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac=0 \implies \textsf{one real solution}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac < 0 \implies \textsf{no real solutions}[/tex]

Given function:

[tex]y=x^2+10x+25[/tex]

Therefore:

Substitute the given values into the discriminant:

[tex]\implies 10^2-4(1)(25)=0[/tex]

As the discriminant equals zero, there is one real solution.

Answer:

b. g(t) = 200 - 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know how to explain this, but here is the answer.

At the equilibrium price p, we can solve for the quantity of goods x :

demand = supply

5200 - 0.0005x = 2800 + 0.0003x

2400 = 0.0008x

x = 3,000,000

With this quantity of goods, the equilibrium price is

p = 5200 - 0.0005 (3,000,000)

p = 5200 - 1500

p = 3700

Looking at the problem statement, the question is asking for us to determine the justification for the steps that are used to help solve the equation.  We are given the expression [tex]x + 17 = 38[/tex] to help achieve that goal.

Now that we know what we must do to finish this problem let us look how this equation can be solved.  When the term solve the equation is used it refers to us solving for the unknown, in this case being the variable x.  We can see that we have [tex]x + 17[/tex] on the left side and in order to solve the equation x must be alone so we would subtract 17 from both sides.

Subtract 17 from both sides

Therefore, we know that we must subtract the same number from both sides and this justification is known as the Subtraction Property of Equality.  This basically states that an equal value needs to be subtracted from both sides and it will become a new equation but with the same result.

Answer:

Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x + 17 = 38

Algebraic Properties:

Addition: If a = b, then a + c = b + c

Subtraction: If a = b, then a - c = b - c

Multiplication: If a = b, then ac = bc

Division: If a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

To solve this equation, we know that we need to isolate the variable x. To do this, we need to subtract 17 from both sides to isolate x.

This is also known as the subtraction property of equality, which states that when the same thing is subtracted from both sides of an equation, the equation will still be balanced. 

Subtract 17 from both sides:

x + 17 - 17  = 38 - 17

⟹ x = 21

Therefore, the subtraction property of equality is included in the steps used to solve this equation.

[1] n = -2

       We will convert the words given into a mathematical equation and then solve by isolating the variable. Let n be "a number"

19 decreased by four times a number is 17

19 - four times a number is 17

19 - 4 n is 17

9 - 4n = 17

-

9 - 4n = 17

- 4n = 8

n = -2

[2] x = -1, y = 3, or (-1, 3)

      I will plug the first equation into the second from the system of equations given to us because it already has an isolated variable, y.

2y - 2x = 8

2(2x + 5) - 2x = 8

4x + 10 - 2x = 8

2x = -2

x = -1

      Now, I will plug this value back into the equation and solve for y.

y = 2x + 5

y = 2(-1) + 5

y = -2 + 5

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

|...| means absolute value of "...". that means always the "+" value of "...", even if it is negative.

in other words

|-x| = x

|x| = x

|-x - 2y| for x = -2 and y = 3

|- -2 - 2×3| = |2 - 6| = |-4| = 4

Answer:

Negative 3 less-than y less-than-or-equal-to 3

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at a coordinate plane, we can easily see the range

remember, a closed dot means includes , and an open dot means does not include

[closed dot]

(open dot)

the range is all possible y-values. so, all y values shown are

3               which it includes

to -3            which it excludes  / does not include

so, all y values are greater than -3 and less than or equal to 3

Answer:

8 > u > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve this inequality as 2 separate inequalities.

==============================================================

Inequality 1 :

⇒ 10 > 5u/4

⇒ 5u < 10 × 4

⇒ 5u < 40

⇒ u < 8 [Box 1]

============================================================

Inequality 2 :

⇒ 5u/4 > 15/2

⇒ 5u/2 > 15

⇒ u/2 > 3

⇒ u > 3 × 2

⇒ u > 6 [Box 2]

============================================================

Solution :

⇒ 8 > u > 6

The number that could not be a value of y if y = 4x² - 6 is -12.

The value of y for which a function f(x) = y = 4x² - 6 can be determined by knowing the smallest value of y for which x is equal to zero.

So, from the equation y = 4x² - 6, we will replace the value of x with zero to determine the smallest value of y.

i.e.

y = 4(0) - 6

y = 0 - 6

y = -6

Thus, any number smaller than -6 could not be a value of y for the equation y = 4x² - 6.

Therefore, we can conclude that the number that could not be a value of y if y = 4x² - 6 is -12.

=112.5

The quadratic equation that has a root of 6 and 2 is x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0

The roots are given as:

x = 6 and x = 2

Rewrite as:

x - 6 = 0 and x - 2 = 0

Multiply both equations

(x - 6)(x - 2) = 0 * 0

Evaluate the product

x^2 - 6x - 2x + 12 = 0

Evaluate the difference

x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0

Hence, the equation that has a root of 6 and 2 is x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0

Answer:

\frac{9}{20} (or 9/20, if this doesn't show up the right way in my answer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Fist what we'll do here is divide 1000 by 450. 1000÷450=2\frac{2}{9} (2/9, if this doesn't show up the right way either).

Then, we'll apply the inverse formula. In case you've forgotten, the inverse of a number is what you have to multiply a number by to get 1. The inverse of 2/9 (too lazy to put it in that form anymore) is 0.45, or 9/20.

If that doesn't work, I might be interpreting this incorrectly.

Here.

Answer:

0.05, or 1/20

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the fraction. we can simplify it to 20/9, making the numerator 20. As previously stated, the inverse of a number is what you have to multiply a number by to get 1. So, 1÷20=0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the circle theorem which states that :

Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180 .

Now we know that angles ADC and ABC add up to 180. So :

We make an equation and solve for x :

x+(3x-12) = 180

4x-12 = 180

4x = 192

x = 48

The weighted average cost of capital for the firm will be 11.25%.

The weighted average cost of capital is the calculation of the cost of capital for a firm where each category of capital is weighted.

Here, the weighted average cost of capital will be:

= 0.5(10%)(1 - 15%) + 0.5(14%)

= 0.5(0.1)(0.85) + 0.5(0.14)

= 11.25%

The corporate value at 70% debt when WACC is 11.94% will be:

= (EBIT)(1 - T)/WACC

= (13.24)(1 - 0.15)/0.1194

= $94.26 million

The corporate value at 30% debt when WACC is 11.14% will be:

= (EBIT)(1 - T)/WACC

= (13.24)(1 - 0.15)/0.1114

= $101.02 million

Answer:

119 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is all of the lengths of the sides added together. I started by adding all of the whole numbers:

35+10+12+15+24+12+10=118

Then I added the fractions (after making the denominators equal by multiplying the 3/7, 1/7, 2/7 all by 2)

6/14+2/14+4/14+3/14+1/14+4/14+2/14= 22/14

Then I subtracted 14 from 22 to take out our whole number (which would be 14/14 or 1), and see that we are left with 8.

This means that our answer is 119 8/14 or 119 4/7

The height in feet of the missile after 5 seconds in the air is; 875 ft

We are given the  quadratic function of the height in terms of time, x, in seconds as; h(x) = - 17x² + 260x

where;

h(x) is height after x seconds

x seconds is time of missile in air when thrown.

Thus, after five seconds, we have;

h(5) = - 17(5)² + 260(5)

h(5) = -425 + 1300

h(5) = 875 feet

Complete question is;

A missile is launched from the ground. Its height, h(x), can be represented by a quadratic function in terms of time, x, in seconds.

After 1 second, the missile is 243 feet in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 452 feet in the air.
