His average speed for the first trip is 43 mph

Since Brian's average speed is x and he travels the first part for 215 miles in time t.

So, his distance d = xt

Also, the travels 75 more miles at a speed of 15 mph.

Since distance = speed time, the time he takes to cover this distance is

t' = distance/speed = 75 mi/15 mph = 5 hours

Since he covers both distances in the same time, we have that t = t' = 5 hours.

So, his average speed for the first trip x = d/t

= 215 mi/5 h

= 43 mph

His average speed for the first trip is 43 mph

Party favors are on sale for $2.50 each. You have $380 to spend on the decorations and gifts, and you have already spent $272 on

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

we could buy 43 party favors

Step-by-step explanation:

initially we have an amount of $380

if we already spend an amount of $272 this we have to subtract it from the total

$380 - $272 = $108

if each party favor comes out $ 2.50 and we have $ 108 we have to divide what we have by what each one comes out to know how many we can buy

$108 / $2.50 = 43.2

this means we could buy 43 party favors

The perimeter of a rectangle is 84cm if the width of rectanle is 16 cm Find its lenth.

Gelneren [198K]

To find the perimeter it is 2 X Width + 2 X the length = 84

32+ 2 X the length = 84
2 X the length = 52
Therefore the length is 26cm

Which equation is y = 9x2 + 9x – 1 rewritten in vertex form?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$y = 9(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation in the vertex form is written as

$y = a (x-h) + k$

Where the point (h, k) is the vertex of the equation.

For an equation in the form $ax ^ 2 + bx + c$ the x coordinate of the vertex is defined as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

In this case we have the equation $y = 9x^2 + 9x - 1$ .

Where

$a = 9\\\\b = 9\\\\c = -1$

Then the x coordinate of the vertex is:

$x = -\frac{9}{2(9)}\\\\x = -\frac{9}{18}\\\\x = -\frac{1}{2}$

The y coordinate of the vertex is replacing the value of $x = -\frac{1}{2}$ in the function

$y = 9 (-0.5) ^ 2 + 9 (-0.5) -1\\\\y = -\frac{13}{4}$

Then the vertex is:

$(-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{13}{4})$

Therefore The encuacion excrita in the form of vertice is:

$y = a(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

To find the coefficient a we substitute a point that belongs to the function $y = 9x^2 + 9x - 1$

The point (0, -1) belongs to the function. Thus.

$-1 = a(0 + \frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$

$-1 = a(\frac{1}{4}) -\frac{13}{4}\\\\a = \frac{-1 +\frac{13}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\\a = 9$

<em>Then the written function in the form of vertice is</em>

$y = 9(x +\frac{1}{2}) ^ 2 -\frac{13}{4}$
