Determine the equation of the parabola shown in the diagram in factored form. (check picture below)

Answer:

(x+1)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: a(x\pm a)(x \pm b) where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: a(x+1)(x-3). Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)

I'll use the point (1, -4) the vertex

-4 = a(1+1)(1-3)

-4 = a(2)(-2)

-4 = -4a

1 = a. So yeah the value of a is 1

So the equation is just: (x+1)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 7 \\ 2x + 4y = 8 \\ x = 7 - 3y \\ 2(7 - 3y) + 4y = 8 \\ 14 - 6y + 4y = 8 \\ 14 - 2y = 8 \\  - 2y =  - 6 \\ y = 3 \\ x = 7 - 3(3) \\ x = 7 - 9 \\ x =  - 2

-3 + (-8)<br> how can i do this
murzikaleks [220]

Answer: -11

Step-by-step explanation:

+(-8) can be simplified to -8 because when you multiply a positive sign by a negative sign, the outcome is a negative sign. So your problem is -3-8= and the answer is -11 because when two numbers with the same sign are subtracted/added by each other, the numbers just get added and the sign stays the same. If you're still confused, use a number line. Hope this helps!

Which set of side lengths or angle measures can be used to construct a triangle A. 50 inches, 90 inches, 35 inches B. 60 inches,
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

D. 60, 45,75

Step-by-step explanation:

For options C and D

For a triangle the sum of the angles must always be equal to 180 degrees

So 180 ≠45+45+80

and

60 +45+ 75= 180

For option A and B

The length of the longer side is equal to the square root of the sum of squares of the other two sides in a triangle.

According to Pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse²= base² + perpendicular²

c²= a²+ b²

90²= 50² + 35²

8100= 2500+1225

8100≠3725

95²= 60²+ 25²

9025= 3600+ 625

9025≠4225

Therefore only D is the correct option
