Find the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function. (5 points) f(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 9

Considering the definition of axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

<h3>Axis of symmetry</h3>

An axis of symmetry is an imaginary reference line that, when dividing any shape into two parts, its opposite points are equidistant from each other, that is, they are symmetrical.

In other words, the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the "x" axis that contains the vertex of the function, that is, it always passes through the vertex of the parabola. So the x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry.

That is, in a quadratic function that has the form:

f(x)= ax² + bx + c

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line and it is defined as x=\frac{-b}{2a}.

<h3>Axis of symmetry of f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 9</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • a= 3
  • b=12
  • c=9

Replacing in the definition of axis of symmetry:

x=\frac{-12}{2x3}

Solving:

x=\frac{-12}{6}

<u><em>x= -2</em></u>

Finally, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

Please help how to find the value of x and find the length of segment AD, the value is 5 I just need to show my work.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

9. x = 5

10. AD = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the diagram, BD is a perpendicular bisector. And D is a point on the perpendicular bisector, meaning it is equidistant from the endpoints on the segment(points A and C). Because of this, we can say AD = CD.

We can substitute to get:

2x - 3 = x + 2

And simplify and solve:

x - 3 = 2

x = 5

AD is just 2x - 3, so we can substitute in x to find AD:

AD = 2(5) -3

AD = 10 - 3

AD = 7

Please help me with this question it is due today! What value of m makes the system show perpendicular lines? Explain.
Lady bird [3.3K]
M = -2

In perpendicular lines, the slopes are opposite reciprocal. This means you flip the sign (from + to - or from - to +) and flip the numerator and denominator.

So 1/2 becomes negative, and 2/1 = 2

So the slope is -2

The measure of dispersion that measures how much the data differ from the mean is called the.
Alenkinab [10]

The measure of dispersion that measures how much the data differ from the mean is called the standard deviation.

<h3>What is standard deviation?</h3>

Standard deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion as opposed to the measure of central tendency like mean, median and mode.

The standard deviation is a measure of how spread out data values are around the mean.

It is defined as the square root of the variance and represented with the Greek letter σ.

Answer:

the  height is :  2365.48  m

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

h(t) = − 4.9 t 2 + 211 t + 94 .

the vertex of this parabola is : (-b/2a  , h(-b/2a) when : a= -4.9  and b=211

-b/2a = -(211)/2(-4.9) = 21.53

h(21.53) = -4.9(21.53)²+211(21.53)+94 = 2365.48  m
