Answer:

The y-intercept is -2

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 1 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the general form of the quadratic function

- The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c,

 where a, b , c are constant

# a is the coefficient of x²

# b is the coefficient of x

# c is the y-intercept

- The meaning of y-intercept is the graph of the function intersects

 the y-axis at point (0 , c)

- The axis of symmetry of the function is a vertical line

  (parallel to the y-axis) and passing through the vertex of the curve

- We can find the vertex (h , k) of the curve from a and b, where

 h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of it

# h = -b/a and k = f(h)

- The equation of any vertical line is x = constant

- The axis of symmetry of the quadratic function passing through

  the vertex then its equation is x = h

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = -2x² + 4x - 2

∴ a = -2 , b = 4 , c = -2

∵ The y-intercept is c

∴ The y-intercept is -2

∵ h = -b/2a

∴ h = -4/2(-2) = -4/-4 = 1

∴ The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 1

Given that x square + 5 x + c is a perfect square find the value of C ​
lawyer [7]

Answer:

c = \frac{25}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a perfect square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + 5x

x² + 5x + (\frac{5}{2} )²

= x² + 5x + \frac{25}{4}

= (x + \frac{5}{2} )² ← a perfect square
