There are 192 soaps in a package. Each box can hold either 4 or 6 packages. If there are 10 boxes that hold 4 packages each and 15 boxes that hold 6 packages each, and each soap weighs 100 grams , how many kilograms of soap do all the boxes contain in total? | <thought>
Let's calculate the total number of packages by considering the two different types of boxes and their respective capacities. We know that there are 10 boxes, each holding 4 packages. So, we perform the multiplication:
- \(10 \text{ boxes} \times 4 \text{ packages per box} = 40 \text{ packages}\).

2. Given two linear functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ such that the graphs $y=f(x)$ and $y=g(x)$ are parallel lines, not parallel to the coordinate axes. Find the minimum value of the function $(g(x))^{2}+$ $8 f(x)$, if the minimum value of the function $(f(x))^{2}+8 g(x)$ is -29. | Answer: -3.
Solution. Let $f(x)=a x+b, g(x)=a x+c$, where $a \neq 0$. Consider $h(x)=(f(x))^{2}+8 g(x)$. Expanding the brackets, we get $h(x)=(a x+b)^{2}+8(a x+c)=a^{2} x^{2}+2 a(b+4) x+b^{2}+8 c$. The graph of $y=$ $h(x)$ is a parabola opening upwards, and the minimum value is attained at the vertex. The x-coordinate... |

Try to find its center of symmetry and axes of symmetry. | 9. It is known that points $A(1,1), B(1,-1)$ are both on the curve.
Let the center of symmetry of the ellipse be $(a, b)$, then points $A^{\prime}(2 a-1,2 b-1), B^{\prime}(2 a-1,2 b+1)$ are also on the curve. Therefore, we have
