The options presented are:

(1) division property of equality

(2) factoring the binomial

(3) completing the square

(4) subtraction property of equality

Response: (2) factoring the binomial

Step 1: -c = ax^2 + bx

Step 2:-c = a[x^2+\frac{b}{a} x]

In step 2, 'a' is extracted from ax^2 + bx. Upon factoring out 'a', we divide all terms by 'a', resulting in a[x^2+\frac{b}{a} x].

Step 2 involves the binomial factorization process.

Zina [12379]

1. Calculate 10% of 250 (250 × 0.10 = 25)
2. Subtract that from 250 (250 - 25 = 225)
3. Then find 16% of 225 (225 × 0.16 = 36)
4. Add 225 and 36 to get 261
5. Therefore, the target number of consumers retained is 261

You plan to rent a car from XYZ Car Rental Company for a flat rate of $35 a
zzz [12365]
The piece-wise function can be expressed as follows: The base charge for renting the vehicle is $35 per day. If the car is rented for three days or fewer, there’s an insurance surcharge of $10 per day. For rentals over three days, the daily insurance cost drops to $5. Let’s denote the number of days as x. Accordingly, we have: For x ≤ 3, f(x) = 35 × x + 10 × x = x × (45) For x > 3, f(x) = 35 × x + 5 × x = x × (40). Therefore, the charge for renting the vehicle for three days or less is 45·x, and for rentals longer than three days is 40·x.

You are ordering shirts for the math club at your school. Short-sleeved shirts cost $10 each. Long-sleeved shirts cost $12 each.
Zina [12379]

Answer:

a. i) Please refer to the attached graph representing the equation $10·x + $12·y = $300

ii) The intercepts indicate the maximum number of short-sleeve (at the x-intercept) and long-sleeve shirts (at the y-intercept) that can be ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

The details provided are as follows:

Cost of each short-sleeve shirt = $10

Cost of each long-sleeve shirt = $12

Total budget available = $300

The equation for total spending is given by $10·x + $12·y = $300

Where;

x = Number of short-sleeved shirts

y = Number of long-sleeved shirts

Rearranging the equation into slope-intercept form, we have:

$10·x + $12·y = $300

$12·y = $300 - $10·x

y = $300/$12 - $10·x/$12

y = 25 - 5/6·x

Attached is the graph produced using Microsoft Excel

The coordinates that can be used for graph plotting are as follows:

x, y

(0, 25)

(5, 20.83)

(10, 16.67)

(15, 12.5)

(20, 8.33)

(25, 4.17)

(30, 0)

The x-intercept denotes the quantity of short-sleeve shirts purchasable with a $300 budget, while the y-intercept signifies the quantity of long-sleeve shirts achievable under the same budget.
