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

Eight less than a number y is ninety four
maria [59]
Y = a number
"is" means "equal to"

Equation:
Y - 8 = 94

Solving for Y:
Y - 8 = 94
Add 8 to both sides
Y = 102

Answer: Y = 102

Hope this helps!!

Can someone plsss help me?!
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Angle A is 101

Angle B is 79

Angle C is 83

Angle D is 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent, which applies to C.

Lines are parallel so 79 and angle B are the same

Angle a is 101 because its a supplementary angle

Angle D is 97 because its also a supplementary angle so you subtract 83 from 180.
