Answer 4

Kinda long x_x

Answer 5

so ill take that as a no lol

Answer 6

Set -250n^2+3,250n-9,000 equal to zero and factor it.

0 = -250n^2+3,250n-9,000

And those are your x intercepts or "solutions"

Answer 7

that's to answer part a?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes that's for part A, they're the roots or zeros of your function. They represent your x intercepts

Answer 10

I factored 0 = -250n^2+3,250n-9,000 and got -250(n-4) (n-9) is that the answer for part a? @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 11

is it?

Answer 12

Yes.

I got -250((n-9)(n-4))

Answer 13

can you help me with part b?

Answer 14

Yeah

Answer 15

Find the vertex by completing the square and putting it in vertex form.

Answer 16

how do I complete the square?

Answer 17

Do you know the steps?

Answer 18

@Jadeishere ._. My Dad's home :3 Gtg ^_^ Baii

vertex form is: f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

Answer 19

I have to get off soon, like I said, like, 5 minutes soon

Answer 20

no @tHe_FiZiCx99
