Y=-3x^2-6x+24

The x-intercept is the point at which the function intersects the x-axis.
For any point on the x-axis, y = 0. Thus we can plug in 0 for y and solve for x.

y=-3x^2-6x+24 \\ 0=-3x^2-6x+24

Let's split the middle on this quadratic.
To do this we need to find two numbers that add to equal -6 and multiply to equal -72. (-3 times 24)
Consider ways to multiply to get 72.
72 = 36 ×2...that's not going to work.
72 = 24 × 3
72 = 18 × 4
72 = 12 × 6...and 12 minus 6 is 6!
Let's add our signs; our numbers are -12 and 6.
Now, split the middle and factor.

0=-3x^2-12x+6x+24\\0=-3x(x+4)+6(x+4)\\0=(-3x+6)(x+4)

Now you should know that anything multiplied by zero is zero.
So any value that makes one of those factors equal zero is an x-intercept.
Solve each of these equations.

-3x+6 = 0
-3x = -6
x = 2

x+4 = 0
x = -4

Oh, and since all parabolas (graphs of quadratics) are symmetrical, our axis of symmetry will be the average between the two, which is x=-1.

Now for our y-intercepts. For any points on the y-axis, x=0, so if we plug in 0 for x and solve for y we'll get our y-intercept.

y = -3×0² - 6×0 + 24
y = 0 - 0 + 24
y = 24

What about our vertex? Well, we know it's going to line up with the axis of symmetry, so let's just plug in -1 for x.

y = -3×-1² - 6×-1 + 24
y = -3×1 -6×-1 + 24
y = -3 + 6 + 24
y = 27

Thus the vertex is (-1, 27)

The y value is not going to exceed 27, as this is a decreasing quadratic, (we already know y=24 is a possibilty) and this equation goes downwards infinitely, so our range is (-∞, 27)

As for x, well, it's sort of the input for our equation, meaning it can be whatever we want it to be. Thus the domain is (-∞, ∞)

In a triangle, two sides that measure 8 centimeters and 11 centimeters form an angle that measures 82°. to the nearest tenth of
Gwar [14]
We can use the Сosine formula to solve this problem.
<span>First we must find the third side (АС) of the triangle:
</span>
AC^2=AB^2+BC^2-2*AB*BC*cos82^o \\ AC^2=8^2+11^2-2*8*11*0.1392 \\ AC^2=64+121-24.4992= 160.508 \\ AC= \sqrt{160.508} \approx  12.67 \ cm
<span>
The smallest angle of the triangle lies opposite the smallest side, so we need to find m</span>∠C.

cosC= \frac{AC^2+BC^2-AB^2}{2*AC*BC}  \\  \\ cosC= \frac{12.67^2+11^2-8^2}{2*12.67*11}= \frac{160.53+121-64}{278.74} = \frac{217.53}{278.74} \approx  0.7804

Now we can use Bradis's Table (I don't know the name in English, maybe Trigonometric Table?) to find m∠C:

m∠С = 38°42' = 38.7°

Answer: 38.7°
