The first few steps in deriving the quadratic formula are shown. a table listing the first few steps in deriving the quadratic formula which best explains why is not added to the left side of the equation in the last step shown in the table? the term startfraction b squared over 4 a squared endfraction is added to the right side of the equation, so it needs to be subtracted from the left side of the equation to balance the sides of the equation. the distributive property needs to be applied to determine the value to add to the left side of the equation to balance the sides of the equation. the term startfraction b squared over 4 a squared endfraction needs to be converted so it has a common denominator before adding it to the left side of the equation to balance the equation. the square root of the term needs to be found before adding the term to the left side of the equation to balance the sides of the equation.

whats the rest of it?

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.

answer: x=1

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = g(x)

x - 2 = -1

x = 1

therefore the graph should be a line showing x=1 which is vertical and passes on 1

hope it !
