How many zero pairs must be added to the function
f(x) = x2 – 6x + 1 in order to begin writing the function in vertex form?

the answer is 8. i just took the test and got it correct

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

i would need to see the dot plot : )
