Answer:

\textsf{A)} \quad x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}

\textsf{B)} \quad \left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)

C)  See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

f(x)=2x^2-x-10

<h3><u>Part A</u></h3>

To factor a <u>quadratic</u> in the form  ax^2+bx+c<em> , </em>find two numbers that multiply to ac and sum to b :

\implies ac=2 \cdot -10=-20

\implies b=-1

Therefore, the two numbers are -5 and 4.

Rewrite b as the sum of these two numbers:

\implies f(x)=2x^2-5x+4x-10

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

\implies f(x)=x(2x-5)+2(2x-5)

Factor out the common term  (2x - 5):

\implies f(x)=(x+2)(2x-5)

The x-intercepts are when the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0:

\implies (x+2)(2x-5)=0

Therefore:

\implies (x+2)=0 \implies x=-2

\implies (2x-5)=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{2}

So the x-intercepts are:

x=-2, \:\:x=\dfrac{5}{2}

<h3><u>Part B</u></h3>

The x-value of the vertex is:

\implies x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}

Therefore, the x-value of the vertex of the given function is:

\implies x=\dfrac{-(-1)}{2(2)}=\dfrac{1}{4}

To find the y-value of the vertex, substitute the found value of x into the function:

\implies f\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=2\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)-10=-\dfrac{81}{8}

Therefore, the vertex of the function is:

\left(\dfrac{1}{4},-\dfrac{81}{8}\right)=(0.25,-10.125)

<h3><u>Part C</u></h3>

Plot the x-intercepts found in Part A.

Plot the vertex found in Part B.

As the <u>leading coefficient</u> of the function is positive, the parabola will open upwards.  This is confirmed as the vertex is a minimum point.

The axis of symmetry is the <u>x-value</u> of the <u>vertex</u>.  Draw a line at x = ¹/₄ and use this to ensure the drawing of the parabola is <u>symmetrical</u>.

Draw a upwards opening parabola that has a minimum point at the vertex and that passes through the x-intercepts (see attachment).

Write the quadratic equation in general form. (x - 3)^ 2 = 0
algol [13]
The answer is:  x² – 6x + 9 = 0  .
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________

Given:  (x – 3)² = 0 ;  write as: general form:  "ax² + bx + c = 0";  a ≠ 0 .
<span>
Note:  </span>(x – 3)² = (x – 3)(x – 3) = x² – 3x – 3x + 9 = x² – 6x + 9 ;
___________________________________________________
Rewrite: (x – 3)²  =  0 ;  →
           as:   x² – 6x + 9 = 0  ; which is our answer.
____________________________________________
→   x² – 6x + 9 = 0  ; is in "general form", or "standard equation format"; that is: " ax² + bx + c = 0 ";  (a ≠ 0) ;
             → in which: 
   a =  1 (implied coefficient, since anything multiplied by "1" is that same                                                                                                                    value);
   b = -6; 
   c =  9

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data set D does not contain the value 128, which is the median value.

Data set C does not contain the outlier value 91.

Data set A contains value 168, which does not show up on the plot.

The only remaining choice is B.

_____

In order, the data values of set B are ...

... 91, 114, 120, 126, 128, 128 134, 136, 139, 142, 152

The median value of these 11 is the 6th one: 128. The median values of the remaining two sets of 5 are 120 and 139, making these values the quartiles at the ends of the box. The value 91 is more than 1.5 times the IQR (19) below the 1st quartile, so is considered an outlier. (The cutoff is 120-1.5·19=91.5.)
