Answer:
2a) -2
b) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of a parabola in vertex form</u>
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and the axis of symmetry is x = h
2 a)
Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6
If one of the x-axis intercepts is 6, then
f(6) = 0
⇒ a(6 - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 16a - 6 = 0
⇒ 16a = 6
⇒ a = 6/16 = 3/8
So f(x) = 3/8(x - 2)² - 6
To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:
f(x) = 0
⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 3/8(x - 2)² = 6
⇒ (x - 2)² = 16
⇒ x - 2 = ±4
⇒ x = 6, -2
Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is -2
b)
Using the equation of a parabola in vertex form, a parabola with vertex (2, -6):
f(x) = a(x - 2)² - 6
If one of the x-axis intercepts is -4, then
f(-4) = 0
⇒ a(-4 - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 36a - 6 = 0
⇒ 36a = 6
⇒ a = 6/36 = 1/6
So f(x) = 1/6(x - 2)² - 6
To find the other intercept, set f(x) = 0 and solve for x:
f(x) = 0
⇒ 1/6(x - 2)² - 6 = 0
⇒ 1/6(x - 2)² = 6
⇒ (x - 2)² = 36
⇒ x - 2 = ±6
⇒ x = 8, -4
Therefore, the other x-axis intercept is 8
Not really sure what you mean by compare. The only thing I can think of is the y intercept is generally a good point to start from to count the rise/run
Answer:
Z=92
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute, 9z-738=90
Add 738, 9z=828
Divide, z=92
Answer:
(-2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
the point B is
B(x,y)
x
AB (A to B) is twice BC ( B to C )
AB is 2 - x. BC is x - (-4)= x + 4
So
2-x=2 (x + 4)
2-x=2x + 8
3x = -6
x = -2
y
(Same logic as above)
AB is -5 -y. BC is u - 7
-5 -y = 2(y - 7)
-5 - y = 2y - 14
3y = 9
y= 3
the point is (-2, 3)
