16x^2 − 8x + 1 = 0

Part A:
b^2 - 4ac for ax^2 + bx + c

16x^2 − 8x + 1 = 0
so in this case,
a = 16, b = -8, c = 1

b^2 - 4ac
=(-8)^2 - (4 * 16* 1)
= 64 - 64
= 0
because it's equal 0, answer is one solution

Part B:

4x^2 − 8x − 45 = 0
solve the equation by factoring
= (2x - 9)(2x + 5)

set (2x - 9)(2x + 5) equal to 0 to solve for x
so
(2x - 9)(2x + 5) = 0
2x - 9 = 0
x = 9/2
x = 4.5

2x + 5 = 0
x = -5/2
x = -2.5
answer
x = -2.5 or x = 4.5

Hope it helps

the range of a function is the range of y-values for which it is defined, or exists. given that we are only looking at the y-values, we can already discount the first two answers as they deal with the domain of the function (range of x-values).

now, what we need to do is find the smallest and highest y-values for which the function is defined. if you'd like, you could take a ruler and start at the very bottom of the graph, find the lowest point, then move the ruler higher and higher until you reach the highest point. doing so either in your head or with an actual ruler, we can see that the lowest y-value is -5 and the highest y-value is -1.

the question now remains as to whether they are included in the range (fourth answer) or excluded (third answer). the key here is to recognise whether they are marked with an open or a closed circle. since both (-2, -5) and (2, -1) are marked with a closed circle, they are points that exist on the graph and are thus included in the range (note that if they were marked with an open circle like (4, -2) then that would signify that there is a break in the graph at that point).

thus, the fourth answer, (y | -5 ≤ y ≤ -1), is correct.

also note that usually it is good practice to scan your eye inbetween the highest and lowest point for any breaks in the graph - we do have one here at (4, -2), however -2 is still included in the range because there is another point that is included in the graph with the same y-value, ie. point (1, -2).

i hope that but if you require any further explanation don't hesitate to comment below.

Me if you can and if you finished this lesson on edg- comment you.

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.

Michelle and julie work at a catering company. they need to bake 264 cookies for a birthday party that starts in a little over an hour and a half. each tube of cookie dough claims to make 36 cookies, but michelle eats about 1/5 of every tube and julie makes cookies that are 1.5 times as large as the recommended cookie size. it takes about 8 minutes to bake a container of cookies, but since julie's cookies are larger, they take 12 minutes to bake. a. how many tubes should each girl plan to bake? how long does each girl use the oven? b. explain your solution process what did you make? c. what assumptions did you make?
