Answer:
x = - 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sketch represents
y = x² + bx + c
The graph crosses the y- axis at (0 , - 14), thus c = - 14
y = x² + bx - 14
Given the graph crosses the x- axis at (2, 0), then
0 = 2² + 2b - 14
0 = 4 + 2b - 14 = 2b - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )
10 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )
b = 5
y = x² + 5x - 14 ← represents the graph
let y = 0 , then
x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
The x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 2
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is midway between the x- intercepts, thus
the x- coordinate of the turning point is
=
= - 2.5
Answer:
7 3/4+(-1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2y-3)=27
6y-9=27
6y=36
y=6
I'm pretty sure y=1.3=0.25x
F(1) = (1)^3 + 2(1)^2 - 5(1) - 6 = 1 + 2 - 5 - 6 = -8; x = 1 is not a solution to the polynomial.
f(-1) = (-1)^3 + 2(-1)^2 - 5(-1) - 6 = -1 + 2 + 5 - 6 = 0; x = -1 is a solution to polynomial.
From the options, a or c has x = -1, both has x = , so lets check for x = 3
f(3) = (3)^3 + 2(3)^2 - 5(3) - 6 = 27 + 18 - 15 - 6 = 24; x = 3 is not a solution to the polynomial.
Therefore the solutions to the polynomial are x = -3, x = -1, x = 2
