Because the vertex of the parabola is at (16,0), its equation is of the formy = a(x-10)² + 15
The graph goes through (0,0), thereforea(0 - 10)² + 15 = 0100a = -15a = -0.15
The equation is y = f(x) = -0.15(x - 10)² + 15
The graph is shown below.
Part A
Note that y = f(x).
The x-intercepts identify values where the function or y=0. The x-intercepts occur at x=0 and x=20, or at (0,0) and (20,0).
The maximum value of y occurs at the vertex (10, 15) because the curve is down due to the negative leading coefficient of -0.15.
The curve increases in the interval x = (-∞, 10) and it decreases in the interval x = (10, ∞).
Part B
When x=12, y = -0.15(12 - 10)² + 15 = 14.4When x=15, y = -0.15(15 - 10)² + 15 = 11.25
The average rate of change between x =12 to x = 15 is(11.25 - 14.4)/(15 - 12) = -1.05
This rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases in the interval x =[12, 15].
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
It equals 12 because according to the midsegment theorem, the midsegment is 1/2 the value of the side it is parallel to.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question (1).
OQ and RT are the parallel lines and UN is a transversal intersecting these lines at two different points P and S.
A). ∠OPS ≅ ∠RSU [corresponding angles]
B). m∠OPS + m∠RSP = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]
C). m∠OPS + m∠OPN = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
D). Since, ∠OPS ≅ ∠TSP [Alternate interior angles]
And m∠TSP + m∠TSU = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
Therefore, Option (A) is the correct option.
Question (2).
A). m∠RSP + m∠RSU = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
B). m∠RSP + m∠PST = 180° [Linear pair of angles]
C). ∠RSP ≅ ∠TSU [Vertically opposite angles]
D). m∠RSP + m∠OPS = 180° [Consecutive interior angles]
Therefore, Option (C) will be the answer.
We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.
Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.
9a² = 16a
9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides
a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side
a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property
Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.
9a - 16 = 0
9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides
a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9
Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9
