Question

Which explains how to show that

Answer 1

Answer:

  c.  Substitute

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of the function on the left shows the parabola touches the x-axis at x = -8/3. That is, the vertex is on the x-axis. It crosses the y-axis at y = 64.

Show a value is a root

A given solution to an equation can be verified by substituting that value into the equation an showing the result is a true statement. Here, the value x=-8/3 is a root of the given equation because that value makes the equation true.

  $9\left(-\dfrac{8}{3}\right)^2+48\left(-\dfrac{8}{3}\right)+64=0\\\\9\left(\dfrac{64}{9}\right)-\left(\dfrac{48\cdot8}{3}\right)+64=0\\\\64-\dfrac{3\cdot2\cdot8\cdot8}{3}+64=0\\\\64-2\cdot64+64=0\\\\0=0\qquad\text{True}$
