Answer

The vertex is at point (-3, -1)

The axis of symmetry is x = -3

Explanation

We are asked to find the vertex and axis of symmetry of the equation given.

f(x) = x² + 6x + 8

The vertex of a quadratic equation is the point where the graph of the quadratic equation changes from sloping negatively to sloping positively and vice-versa.

The axis of symmetry represents the straight line that divides the graph of the quadratic equation into two mirror parts that are similar to and are mirror images of each other. This axis of symmetry usually passes through the vertex.

To find the vertex, it is usually at the turning point where the first derivative of the quadratic equation is equal to 0.

(df/dx) = 0

f(x) = x² + 6x + 8

(df/dx) = 2x + 6

At the vertex

(df/dx) = 2x + 6 = 0

2x = -6

Divide both sides by 2

(2x/2) = (-6/2)

x = -3

We then insert this into the equation to get the corresponding f(x) value.

f(x) = x² + 6x + 8

f(-3) = (-3)² + 6(-3) + 8

= 9 - 18 + 8

= -1

Hence, the vertex is at point (-3, -1)

And since the axis of symmetry has to pass through the vertex,

The axis of symmetry is x = -3

Hope this Helps!!!

A basketball court is 94 feet by 50 feet. Eight fans ca
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The entire floor can contain approximately 4178 fans

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the area of the basketball floor.

we can do this by multiplying the length by the breadth as such 94 X 50 = 4700 square feet.

The second step is to calculate the area occupied by 8 of the fans. We can do this by multiplying 3 ft by 3ft = 9 square feet.

From this, it will be easier to estimate the area occupied by only one fan. This can be got by dividing 9 square feet by 8.  

This is = 1.125 square feet.

To get the number of students it can occupy, we divide the total area of the court by the area occupied by one student.

4700/ 1.125 =4177.8 \approx 4178 fans
