Answer:

y = (x-3)^2 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.

x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.

Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.

y = x^2 - 6x - 8

y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8

y = (x-3)^2 - 17

A bank loaned out 16,000 $, part of it at the rate of 6% per year and the rest at 14% per year. If the interest received in on

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

This question requires a comparison between two different variables 6% and 16% values. If we let x=$ loaned on 6% loans and y=$ loaned on 16% loans, then we can relate two equations.

0.06x + 0.16y = $1500 --> referencing the interest earned from each percentage loaned.

x + y = $16000 --> referencing the total amount of money loaned out.

Rearrange either equation and substitute for a value in the other equation or use elimination to determine each individual variable.
