Barack is saving up his money to buy a television that costs $395.50. Right now he has $85.00 and can save $29.00 each week. How many weeks will it take for Barack to have enough money to buy the television?

Answer:

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -17x its coefficient is -17 .

The last term, "the constant", is +60

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 60 = 60

Step-2 : Find two factors of 60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -17 .

-60 + -1 = -61

-30 + -2 = -32

-20 + -3 = -23

-15 + -4 = -19

-12 + -5 = -17 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and -5

x2 - 12x - 5x - 60

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

x • (x-12)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

5 • (x-12)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(x-5) • (x-12)

Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step

1

:

(x - 5) • (x - 12) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product

2.1 A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides of the equation :

x = 5

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.3 Solve : x-12 = 0

Add 12 to both sides of the equation :

x = 12

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly

Solving x2-17x+60 = 0 directly

Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula

Parabola, Finding the Vertex:

3.1 Find the Vertex of y = x2-17x+60

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 8.5000

Plugging into the parabola formula 8.5000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :

y = 1.0 * 8.50 * 8.50 - 17.0 * 8.50 + 60.0

or y = -12.250

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for : y = x2-17x+60

Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={ 8.50}

Vertex at {x,y} = { 8.50,-12.25}

x -Intercepts (Roots) :

Root 1 at {x,y} = { 5.00, 0.00}

Root 2 at {x,y} = {12.00, 0.00}

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

3.2 Solving x2-17x+60 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Subtract 60 from both side of the equation :

x2-17x = -60

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 17 , divide by two, giving 17/2 , and finally square it giving 289/4

Add 289/4 to both sides of the equation :

On the right hand side we have :

-60 + 289/4 or, (-60/1)+(289/4)

The common denominator of the two fractions is 4 Adding (-240/4)+(289/4) gives 49/4

So adding to both sides we finally get :

x2-17x+(289/4) = 49/4

Adding 289/4 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

x2-17x+(289/4) =

(x-(17/2)) • (x-(17/2)) =

(x-(17/2))2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

x2-17x+(289/4) = 49/4 and

x2-17x+(289/4) = (x-(17/2))2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

(x-(17/2))2 = 49/4

We'll refer to this Equation as Eq. #3.2.1

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

(x-(17/2))2 is

(x-(17/2))2/2 =

(x-(17/2))1 =

x-(17/2)

Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #3.2.1 we get:

x-(17/2) = √ 49/4

Add 17/2 to both sides to obtain:

x = 17/2 + √ 49/4

Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative

x2 - 17x + 60 = 0

has two solutions:

x = 17/2 + √ 49/4

or

x = 17/2 - √ 49/4

Note that √ 49/4 can be written as

√ 49 / √ 4 which is 7 / 2

Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula

3.3 Solving x2-17x+60 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .

According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :

- B ± √ B2-4AC

x = ————————

2A

In our case, A = 1

B = -17

C = 60

Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =

289 - 240 =

49

Applying the quadratic formula :

17 ± √ 49

x = —————

2

Can √ 49 be simplified ?

Yes! The prime factorization of 49 is

7•7

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 49 = √ 7•7 =

± 7 • √ 1 =

± 7

So now we are looking at:

x = ( 17 ± 7) / 2

Two real solutions:

x =(17+√49)/2=(17+7)/2= 12.000

or:

x =(17-√49)/2=(17-7)/2= 5.000

Two solutions were found :

x = 12

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

there is 8 total and 5 of them are basketballs

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

as the chart is broken into steps with the same precision we're looking for. Just choose the one where height is closest to zero or 0.6 s

To do it mathematically

The equation is

h = 2 - ½gt²

to find g, plug in a time and height

0.236 = 2 - ½g(0.6²)

g = 9.8 m/s

check another one just to be sure

1.559 = 2 - ½(9.8)0.3²

1.559 = 1.559

now plug in zero elevation with an unknown time

0 = 2 - ½(9.8)(t²)

-2 = - ½(9.8)(t²)

t² = 4/9.8

t = 0.6388765...

t = 0.6 s

The time it takes for the penny to hit the ground is about 0.6 seconds.

Option B is the correct answer.

The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

Example:

The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

To determine the time it takes for the penny to hit the ground, we need to find the point where the height of the penny is equal to zero.

Looking at the table,

We can see that the height of the penny is negative when t = 0.7 and becomes more negative for larger values of t.

So the penny must hit the ground between t = 0.6 and t = 0.7 seconds.

Now,

We can use linear interpolation to estimate the time at which the height of the penny is zero by finding the equation of the line that passes through the two points closest to zero on the table, namely (0.6, 0.775) and (0.7, -0.401).

So,

The slope of the line passing through these points.

= (change in height) / (change in time)

= (-0.401 - 0.775) / (0.7 - 0.6)

= -1.176

The equation of the line passing through these points.

y - 0.775 = -1.176(x - 0.6)

Simplifying

y = -1.176x + 1.438

Setting y to zero and solving for x.

0 = -1.176x + 1.438

x = 1.438 / 1.176

x ≈ 1.22

Therefore,

To the nearest tenth of a second, the time it takes for the penny to hit the ground is about 0.6 seconds.

Answer:

y = 8/5x + (-4) or y = 8/5x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written like this:

            y = mx + b

The variable m, represents slope and b, represents the y-intercept.

To find slope, you have to find the rise/run or in other words, change of y over change of x.

From the look of the line, the slope has to be positive because the line is going up.

To go from the bottom point to the top, we have to go up 8 points and go to the right 5 points. Thus the slope is 8/5.

Now for the y-intercept. This part is easy. Just ask yourself this...

"Which of the two points is on the y-axis?"

In this case, it is the bottom point which is -4.

So your equation should look like this:

y = 8/5x + (-4)

   or y = 8/5x - 4 because when you have a plus sign and a minus sign, the result is negative.

hope this helps :)
