An image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph.The y-intercept of the graph is (0, 90), and the zeros are 5 and 9. Which

Gnesinka [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the zeros are 5 and 9, then the equation will have the form:

y = a (x–5) (x–9)

We know the point (0, 90) is on the curve, so we can use this to find the coefficient a:

90 = a (0–5) (0–9)

90 = 45a

a = 2

y = 2 (x – 5) (x – 9)

Bao Yu is completing the square to solve the polynomial equation.

irga5000 [103]

Solution:

The square of the given equation can be completed as below:

Here we will make the terms on left hand side such that it gets the form of $a^2\pm2ab+b^2=(a\pm b)^2$

$x^2-x-3=0\\\\\text{Isolate the constant}\\\\x^2-x=3\\\\x^2-2\times\frac{1}{2}\times x +\frac{1}{2}^2=3+ \frac{1}{2}^2\\\\(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{13}{4}\\$

Hence the correct option is isolating the constant , -3.

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–4, –3) and (12, 1) is y – 1 = y minus 1 equals StartFract

Zina [86]

Answer:

The equation of the line in standard form is

$x-4y=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point slope form is

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$y-1=(1/4)(x-12)$

so

$m=1/4$

$(12, 1)$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in standard form

The equation of the line in standard form is

$Ax+By=C$

where

A is positive integer

B and C are integers

we have

$y-1=(1/4)(x-12)$

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

$4y-4=(x-12)$

$x-4y=12-4\\x-4y=8$

Zack borrowed $1,087 for 12 months at 11% interest. if he must pay 11.00 per $100, what is the total amount of money he will rep

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Zack borrowed $1,087 for 12 months at 11% interest. It means he must pay 11.00 per $100.

Formula of simple interest:

$I=\frac{P\times r\times t}{100}$

Where P is principal amount, r is rate of interest in percentage and t is time in years.

$I=\frac{1087\times 11\times 1}{100}$

$I=119.57$

The interest paid by Zack is $1,087.

The total amount of money he will repay is

$1,087+119.57=1,206.57$

Therefore option d is correct.
