Part A: x = -5/4, 3 || (-5/4, 0) (3, 0)

To find the x-intercepts, we need to know where y is equal to 0. So, we will set the function equal to 0 and solve for x.

4x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0

4 x 15 = 60 || -12 x 5 = 60 || -12 + 5 = -7

4x^2 - 12x + 5x - 15 = 0

4x(x - 3) + 5(x - 3) = 0

(4x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

4x + 5 = 0

x = -5/4

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Part B: minimum, (7/8, -289/16)

The vertex of the graph will be a minimum. This is because the parabola is positive, meaning that it opens to the top.

To find the coordinates of the parabola, we start with the x-coordinate. The x-coordinate can be found using the equation -b/2a.

b = -7

a = 4

x = -(-7) / 2(4) = 7/8

Now that we know the x-value, we can plug it into the function and solve for the y-value.

y = 4(7/8)^2 - 7(7/8) - 15

y = 4(49/64) - 49/8 - 15

y = 196/64 - 392/64 - 960/64

y = -1156/64 = -289/16 = -18 1/16

Part C:

First, start by graphing the vertex. Then, use the x-intercepts and graph those. At this point we should have three points in a sort of triangle shape. If we did it right, each of the x-values will be an equal distance from the vertex. After we have those points graphed, it is time to draw in the parabola. Knowing that the parabola is positive, we draw in a U shape that passes through each of the three points and opens toward the top of the coordinate grid.

Hope this helps!

0.27 (repeating) into a fraction. Simplify if needed.
WARRIOR [948]
Dont ask me why...I cant really explain it...but if u have 1 repeating decimal, u put it over 9. If u have 2 repeating decimals, u put it over 99....3 repeating decimals, put it over 999.

Examples :
0.7 (repeating) = 7/9
0.27 (repeating) = 27/99 when simplified = 3/11 <===
0.444 (repeating = 444/999

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,6) and has slope of 5?
sleet_krkn [62]
Firstly, you can use the slope and the first point to find a second point:
2 + 1 = x2 and 6 + 5 = y2 because the slope is 5/1. 
Next you can write the equation in point-slope form (remember point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1):
y - 11 = 5(x - 3) 
Another equation would be B because B is the correct equation if you choose 2 as x2 and 6 as y2. 
Hope this helps!
