I’m pretty sure the answer is 30
Explanation:
Conversion of a quadratic equation from standard form to vertex form is done by completing the square method.
Assume the quadratic equation to be where x is the variable.
Completing the square method is as follows:
- send the constant term to other side of equal
- divide the whole equation be coefficient of , this will give
- add to both side of equality
- Make one fraction on the right side and compress the expression on the left side
- rearrange the terms will give the vertex form of standard quadratic equation
Follow the above procedure will give the vertex form.
(NOTE : you must know that . Use this equation in transforming the equation from step 3 to step 4)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
We need to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.
The line we need is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = 8.
<em>The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.</em>
We solve the given equation for y to find the slope of the given line.
2x + y = 8
y = -2x + 8
The given line has slope -2.
The negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.
Our line has slope, m = 1/2.
Now we have
y = 1/2 x + b
Now we use the given point, (-2, 3), for x and y, using x = -2, and y = 3, and we solve for b.
y = 1/2 x + b
3 = 1/2 * (-2) + b
3 = -1 + b
4 = b
b = 4
Now we have
y = 1/2 x + 4
Answer:
Okay, we know that the expenses for the day is 210.
Knowing this, and the price of the taco, we write the inequality:
3.25t > 210
t = number of tacos
Now divide both sides by 3.25:
t > 64.62 (rounded)
Because a taco stand can't sell a fraction of a taco, we know that the taco stand has to sell more than 65 tacos for a profit.
