Mr. Walker gave his class the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 5). Four students made a claim about the function. Each student’s clai

m is below.
Jeremiah: The y-intercept is at (15, 0).
Lindsay: The x-intercepts are at (–3, 0) and (5, 0).
Stephen: The vertex is at (–4, –1).
Alexis: The midpoint between the x-intercepts is at (4, 0).

the only student that is correct is Stepheh. "The vertex is at (–4, –1)."

<h3>Which claims are true?</h3>

Here we have the quadratic equation:

f(x) = (x + 3)*(x + 5)

The first claim is: "The y-intercept is at (15, 0)."

This is clearly false, as the y-intercept is at x = 0, and in that point we have x = 15.

The second claim is:

"The x-intercepts are at (–3, 0) and (5, 0)"

This is false, in the factored equation we can see that the x-intercepts are x =-3 and x = -5.

Third claim:

"The vertex is at (-4, -1)"

The middle value between the zeros is:

(-3 + (-5))/2 = -4

Evaluating the function in x = -4 we get the y-value of the vertex:

f(-4) = (-4 + 3)*(-4 + 5) = -1*1 = -1

So the vertex is at (-4, -1), this claim is true.

The fourth claim is:

"The midpoint between the x-intercepts is at (4, 0)."

Which is false, we already saw that the midpoint between the x-intercepts is at x = -4

Then the only student that is correct is Stepheh. "The vertex is at (–4, –1)."

Why are the solutions to the proportions 40/8 = x/10 and x/40 = 10/8 the same?
romanna [79]

Answer:

Both proportions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two proportions \frac{40}{8}=\frac{x}{10} and \frac{x}{40}=\frac{10}{8}. We are asked to find why the solutions to our given proportions are equal.

We can solve proportions by cross multiplying them.

After cross multiplying our both proportions we will get same equation that is:

40*10=8*x

400=8x

8*x=40*10

8x=400

Since we get same equation after cross multiplying both proportions, therefore, the solutions to the given proportions would be same.

Only like sedans: 25- 15 = 10

Only like hatchbacks: 40-15 = 25

Like both: 15

Like none of them: 100-10-25-15 = 50

Dislike sedans: 100 - 10-15 = 75

Dislike hatchbacks: 100-25-15 = 60

So dislikes: sedans>hatchbacks
