The value of <em>b</em> so that 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has the same <em>x</em>-intercepts (only one <em>x</em>-intercept) is 12 √2.

<h3>How to determine a missing coefficient in a second order polynomial</h3>

<em>Second order</em> polynomials are represented graphically by parabolae and it may have two, one or no <em>x</em>-intercepts. The quantity of <em>x</em>-intercepts can be deducted from the discriminant of the quadratic formula, which is defined below:

For <em>a · x² + b · x + c = 0</em>, the discriminant is defined by:

<em>d = b² - 4 · a · c</em>   (1)

There are three rules to determine the number of possible intercepts:

  1. If <em>d < 0</em>, then there are no <em>x</em>-intercepts.
  2. If <em>d = 0</em>, then there is only one <em>x</em>-intercept.
  3. If <em>d > 0</em>, then there are two <em>x</em>-intercepts.

Then, we have to find a value of <em>b</em> so that (1) has the following form:

<em>b² - 4 · 3 · (-24) = 0</em>

<em>b² - 288 = 0</em>

<em>b = 12√ 2</em>

The value of <em>b</em> so that 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has the same <em>x</em>-intercepts (only one <em>x</em>-intercept) is 12 √2. \blacksquare

<h3>Remark</h3>

The answer choices do not correspond with the given statement, the phrase "same x-intercepts" may lead to confusion and possible graph cannot be found. A possible corrected statement is shown below:

<em>The graph of g(x) = 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has only one x-intercept. What is the value of </em><em>b</em><em>?</em>

What are the vertex and xintercepts of the graph of the function below?<br> y=(x + 4)(x-2)
erik [133]

Yo sup??

y=(x+4)(x-2)

to find the x intercept put y=0

0=(x+4)(x-2)

so either x=-4 or x=2

Therefore the graph intersects the x axis at -4 and 2

Lenght of x intercept=|-4-2|=6 units

y=(x+4)(x-2)

=x^2+2x-8

This is an upward opening parabola

To find the coordinates of the vertex we can apply the formula

(-b/2a,-D/4a)

b=2

a=1

D=b^2-4ac

=4-4*1*(-8)

=4+32=36

Vertex=(-2/2*1,-36/4*1)

=(-1,-9)

Hope this helps.

What's the answer and the work
erma4kov [3.2K]
For the first 6 trips she walked 3.2 kilometers and for the next 6 she made another 3.2 which would be 6.4 kilometers for 12 trips now she made 3 more trips which is half of the amount she originally did so it would be half of the distance also so 3.2 divided by 2 is 1.6 kilometers so for the last 3 trips she walked 1.6 kilometers. now add up all the distance she walked so 6.4 kilometers for the 12 trips plus the 1.6 for the other 3 trips is 8 kilometers in total. she walked 8 kilometers after 15 trips.
