Some of the steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula are shown. Step 3: –c + StartFraction b squared Over 4 a EndFraction = a(x squared + StartFraction b Over a EndFraction x + StartFraction b squared Over 4 a squared EndFraction)

Step 4a: –c + StartFraction b squared Over 4 a EndFraction = a(x + StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction) squared

Step 4b: negative StartFraction 4 a c Over 4 a EndFraction + StartFraction b squared Over 4 a EndFraction = a(x + StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction) squared

Which best explains or justifies Step 4b?

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.

well if he bought them at 5 cedis each sold them at 7 cedis each then he would make a profit of 2 cedis of each book. if in total he made 150 cedis profit that means he sold 75 books. he lost 12 books at the start so that means he originally bought a total of 82 books.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be c
