Answer:

P = 2(21 + 3)

= 2(24)

=$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Add them all up.

s + 2(s+3) + 4s-5 = 148

s + 2s + 6 + 4s - 5 = 148

Group all s together and all numbers together 7s + 1 = 148

7s = 147

Divide by 7

s = 21

Plug s=21 back in for Petro

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

If all their accounts added together equal $148, take the equations in their balances and add them together and set them equal to $148.

s + 2(s+3) + 4s-5 = 148

Simplify the equation: s + 2s +6 + 4s - 5 = 148

More simplified: 7s + 1 = 148

Get s by itself by subtracting the 1 from both side then dividing both sides by 7 and you get that s = 21.

Now plug 21 into the equation for Petros's account.

2(21+3) = 2(24) = 48

Petros has $48 in his account.

Adam is using the equation (x)(x + 2) = 255 to find two consecutive odd integers with a product of 255. When Adam solves the pro

$\bf (x)(x+2)=255\implies x^2+2x=255\implies x^2+2x-255=y
\\\\
\textit{setting y=0}\implies x^2+2x-255=0

\textit{now, factoring that}

(x+17)(x-15)=0\implies 
\begin{cases}
x=-17\\
x=15
\end{cases}$

notice the picture of the graph added here
low and behold, x = -17, y is 0, and x= 15, y is 0
the graph is touching the x-axis, an x-intercept

Which function in vertex form is equivalent to f(x) = 4 + x2 – 2x?

viktelen [127]

To express a function of the form $f(x)= x^{2} +bx+c$ in vertex form $f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola, we need to find the vertex first.
To find the vertex we are going to use the vertex formula: $h= \frac{-b}{2a}$ , and $k$ will be the function evaluated at $h$ .
We can infer from our function that $a=1$ and $b=-2$ . So lets find $h$ :
$h= \frac{-b}{2a}$
$h= \frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}$
$h= \frac{2}{2}$
$h=1$
Now that we have $h$ , we can evaluate the function at 1 to find $k$ :
$f(x)=4+ x^{2} -2x$
$f(1)=4+(1)^2-2(1)$
$f(1)=4+1-2$
$f(1)=3$

We have the vertex (1,3) of our parabola, so we can use its vertex form:
$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$
$f(x)=1(x-1)^2+3$
$f(x)=(x-1)^2+3$

We can conclude that the vertex for of our parabola is f(x) = (x + 1)2 + 3.
