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

Which statement best describes the function below?
harina [27]

Answer:

  • D. It is a many-to-one function

Step-by-step explanation:

  • One-t<em>o-one if every y value has exactly one x value mapped onto it</em>
  • <em>Many-to-one if there are y values that have more than one x value mapped onto them.</em>

We have a function that is of degree 3, so it has 3 x-intercepts which means there are points (x₁, 0), (x₂, 0), (x₃, 0), so it is a many-to-one function

Correct option is D

there are 27 red or blue marbles in the bag the number of red marbles is five less than three times the number of the blue marbl
alexdok [17]
So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19

red=19
blue=8

Need help finding x pls help
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

C: x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

if 28 / 4 = 7, then you divide 40 / 4 to get what WH's side is.

if the side is 10 the x has to be 11 because 11 - 1 = 10
