a) Show that x² - 8x + 20 can be written in the form (x - a)² + a where a is an integer.
b) Hence explain how you know that x² - 8x + 20 is always positive.

I have worked out the first bit of the question and the answer is:
x²-8x+20
x²-8x+16-16+20
(x-4)²+4
(x-a)²+a
a= 4

I just need help with part b and I'm struggling to do it. Please help.

Answer:

Fill the blank with [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]9xy * (\frac{2}{3}x)^3 = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

Required

Fill in the gaps

[tex]9xy * (\frac{2}{3}x)^3 = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

Open Brackets

[tex]9xy * \frac{2^3}{3^3}x^3 = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

[tex]9xy * \frac{8}{27}x^3 = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

Multiply xy and x^3

[tex]9 * \frac{8}{27}x^4y = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9 * 8}{27}x^4y = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

Divide fraction by 9/9

[tex]\frac{8}{3}x^4y = (--/--)x^4y[/tex]

By comparison, the blank will be filled with:

[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the solution to the question is: [tex]9xy * (\frac{2}{3}x)^3 = \frac{8}{3}x^4y[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {d = 15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Distance Formula to help determine the distance between two given points:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]

First point: [tex](x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex]

Second point: [tex](x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex]

-Substitute both given points:

[tex](x_{1}, y_{1}) = (6, 4)[/tex]

[tex](x_{2}, y_{2}) = (-6, -5)[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-6 - 6)^{2} + (-5 - 4)^{2}}[/tex]

-Solve for the distance:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-6 - 6)^{2} + (-5 - 4)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-12)^{2} + (-9)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{144 + 81}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{225}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {d = 15}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance is [tex]15[/tex].

None, They are Both Equal

Step-by-step explanation:

7 2/5 = 7.4

7.4 = 7.4

So, 7.4 = 7.4

Hence, none of them are bigger

Answer:

At 5% , $300 was invested

At 15%, $4,700 was invested

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested at 5% be $x and the amount invested at 15% be $y

x + y = 5000 ••••••(i)

Let’s work with the interest;

5% of x + 15% of y = 720

0.05x + 0.15y = 720 •••••(ii)

From i;

x = 5000-y

Insert this into ii

0.05(5000-y) + 0.15y = 720

= 250 - 0.05y + 0.15y = 720

250 + 0.1y = 720

0.1y = 720-250

0.1y = 470

y = 470/0.1

y = $4700

x = 5000-y

x = 5000-4700 = $300

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

cost of producing the 501st item = $9.92

Step-by-step explanation:

The function representing the cost is given by;

C(x) = 10000 + 90x - 0.08x²

To get the cost of producing the 501st item, we have to first find the cost of producing 500 items and then do the same for 501 items then subtract the values gotten.

Thus;

C(500) = 10000 + 90(500) - 0.08(500)²

C(500) = 10000 + 45000 - 20000

C(500) = $35000

Similarly;

C(501) = 10000 + 90(501) - 0.08(501)²

C(501) = 10000 + 45090 - 20080.08

C(501) = $35009.92

cost of producing the 501st item = C(501) - C(500) = 35009.92 - 35000 = $9.92

Answer: $2528.56  is the answer because if you do the problem you should get something like this

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

Plug in the values:

P=1400, r=6/100=0.6,

n=2 and t=10

A=1400(1+.06/2)^2(10)

A=$2528.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]Volume = 5028.6cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height = 10cm[/tex]

[tex]Diameter = 8cm[/tex]

Required

Determine the volume

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

Where [tex]r = radius[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2} * 8cm[/tex]

[tex]r = 4cm[/tex]

[tex]h = 100cm[/tex]

Take

[tex]\pi = \frac{22}{7}[/tex], so we have

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22}{7} * 4^2 * 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22}{7} * 16 * 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22 * 16 * 100}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{35200}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 5028.6cm^3[/tex]

Answer:

3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56

Step-by-step explanation:

48-fluid-ounce container of laundry detergent for  $5.28

5.28 : 48 = 0.11

check your work:  0.11 x 48 = 5.28

so for the first offer you will be paying $0.11 per ounce of laundry detergent.

3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56

1 gallon = 128 ounces

3 gallons = 384 ounces

34.56 : 384 = 0.09

check your work:  0.09 x 384 = 34.56

for the second offer you will be paying $0.09 per ounce of laundry detergent. 3-gallon container of laundry detergent for $34.56 is a better buy because you will be paying less for each ounce of detergent.

hope this helps!

Answer:

The equation of line that is Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5) is: y = -3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

[tex]y = -3x+5[/tex]

General form of slope-intercept equation of line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Comparing both we get

m = -3

The slope of two parallel line sis equal.

Let m1 be the slope of line parallel to given line, then

m1 = -3

Putting in general form

[tex]y = -3x+b[/tex]

Putting (-4,5) in equation

[tex]5 = -3(-4) +b\\5 = 12+b\\b = 5-12\\b = -7[/tex]

Putting in the general form, we get

[tex]y = -3x-7[/tex]

Hence,

The equation of line that is Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5) is: y = -3x-7

Answer:

28604 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add the two numbers to get the total number of miles:

  14735

+ 13869=

  28604

Problem 1

We're given that angle A = angle B. Also that angle B = angle C.

By the transitive property, we can say angle A = angle C.

So basically all three angles are equal to one another. Let's call that unknown angle x.

For any triangle, the three angles always add to 180, so,

x+x+x = 180

3x = 180

x = 180/3

x = 60

That proves angles A,B, and C are each 60 degrees. This triangle is considered equiangular since all angles are the same. Furthermore, the triangle is also considered equilateral meaning all sides are the same. The term equilateral is more widely used, so I'd go with that term if you could only pick one.

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

Problem 2

As mentioned in problem 1, the three angles of a triangle add to 180

A+B+C = 180

A+B+90 = 180

A+B+90-90 = 180-90

A+B = 90

This shows A and B are complementary angles. Complementary angles by definition add to 90 degrees.

Answer:

how do u know how many extraneous solutions there is?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find whether your solutions are extraneous or not, you need to plug each of them back in to your given equation and see if they work. It's a very annoying process sometimes, but if employed properly can save you much grief on tests or quizzes.

Please can I have brainliest I need one more to rank up

Since you asked how to solve this, I will put the answer at the bottom.

You might not think the same way as I but I think in steps.

The bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, 60/20 = 3.

If the bacteria grow for eleven hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 11 hours = 33 times.
