The vertex form of the equation f(x) = x^2 - 3x, is f(x) = (x - 3/2)^2 - 9/5

<h3>How to rewrite the quadratic function?</h3>

The quadratic function is given as:

f(x) = x^2 - 3x

Differentiate the function

f'(x) = 2x - 3

Set the function to 0

2x - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides

2x = 3

Divide by 2

x = 3/2

Set x = 3/2 in f(x) = x^2 - 3x

f(x) = 3/2^2 - 3 * 3/2

Evaluate

f(x) = -9/5

So, we have:

(x, f(x)) = (3/2, -9/5)

The above represents the vertex of the quadratic function.

This is properly written as:

(h, k) = (3/2, -9/5)

The vertex form of a quadratic function is

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

So, we have:

f(x) = a(x - 3/2)^2 - 9/5

In f(x) = x^2 - 3x,

a = 1

So, we have:

f(x) = (x - 3/2)^2 - 9/5

Hence, the vertex form of the equation f(x) = x^2 - 3x, is f(x) = (x - 3/2)^2 - 9/5

Part A: Create a system of linear equations with no solution. In two or more complete sentences, explain the specific characteri

Dmitrij [34]

Part A.
You need two equations with the same slope and different y-intercepts.
Their graph is parallel lines. Since the lines do not intersect, there is no solution.

y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 2

Part B.
We use the first equation as above. For the second equation, we use an equation with different slope. Two lines with different slopes always intersect.

y = 2x + 2
y = -2x - 2

In the second equation, y = -2x - 2. We now substitute -2x - 2 for y in the first equation.

-2x - 2 = 2x + 2

-4x = 4

x = -1

Now substitute -1 for x in the first equation to find y.

y = 2x + 2

y = 2(-1) + 2

y = -2 + 2

y = 0

Solution: x = -1 and y = 0

what is the polynomial function of lowest degree with leading coefficient of 1 and roots 2 and 1 + square root2

Marta_Voda [28]

If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and $1+\sqrt2$ , then we can write it as

$(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))$

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

$(x-2)(x-1-\sqrt2)=x^2-2x-(1+\sqrt2)x+2(1+\sqrt2)=x^2-(3+\sqrt2)x+2+2\sqrt2$

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.

So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use $1-\sqrt2$ as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

$(x-2)(x-(1+\sqrt2))(x-(1-\sqrt2))=x^3-4x^2+3x+2$

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.

Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...

the RATIO of floor seats to balcony seats in a theaters is 20:1. does this theater have more floor seats or more balcony seats?

GalinKa [24]

Yes, this theater has more floor seats than balcony seats simply because of the ratio. Your answer is actually in the question. For example, if you have 100 floor seats, then according to the ratio you should only have 5 balcony seats. So yes, there are more floor seats than balcony seats.

(30 points, will mark as brainliest) I need help with my algebra 1 homework, its open book so don't worry I can ask on here.

vichka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=kx

8=-4k

k=-2

so y=-2x

$eq.~of~line~is~y-4=\frac{4-4}{1+3} =\frac{0}{4} =0\\or~y=4\\or~y=0 x+4$

eq. of line is y-5=4(x+2)
