Axis of symmetry at x=-7, meaning that the x value of the vertex is at x=-7
means that it is a function
max height is 4
means that the  y value of the vertex is 4
passes through the point (-6,0) or one point is x=-6, y=0

in the form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) is vertex

we know that vertex is at (-7,4)
y=a(x-(-7))^2+4
y=a(x+7)^2+4
find a by plugging in the point (-6,0) aka subsitutin -6 for x and 0 for y
0=a(-6+7)^2+4
0=a(1)^2+4
0=a+4
-4=a

therefor the equation is
y=-4(x+7)^2+4

The vertex form of a quadratic equation:
y = a(x - h)^2+ k

Axis of symmetry is said to be x=-7. This means that the x value of the vertex is at x=-7. The maximum height is 4 thus the y value of the vertex is 4.

in the form
y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) represents the vertex

Thus, the equation becomes,
y=a(x-(-7))^2+4
y=a(x+7)^2+4

We obtain a by substituting <span> the point (-6,0) for x and y in the equation.</span>
0=a(-6+7)^2+4
0=a(1)^2+4
0=a+4
a = -4

Therefore, the equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x+7)^2+4

How many quarts of pure antifreeze must be added to 8 quarts of a 40% antifreeze solution to obtain a 60% antifreeze solution
anyanavicka [17]

Let <em>q</em> be the number of quarts of pure antifreeze that needs to be added to get the desired solution.

8 quarts of 40% solution contains 0.40 × 8 = 3.2 quarts of antifreeze.

The new solution would have a total volume of 8 + <em>q</em> quarts, and it would contain a total amount of 3.2 + <em>q</em> quarts of antifreeze. You want to end up with a concentration of 60% antifreeze, which means

(3.2 + <em>q</em>) / (8 + <em>q</em>) = 0.60

Solve for <em>q</em> :

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 0.60 (8 + <em>q</em>)

3.2 + <em>q</em> = 4.8 + 0.6<em>q</em>

0.4<em>q</em> = 1.6

<em>q</em> = 4

What is the solution to the equation 2(x - 3) = 2x + 5
Genrish500 [490]
Hello there!

2(x - 3) = 2x + 5

Let's start by using the distributive property for the left side.

(2)(x) + (2)(-3) = 2x + 5

2x - 6 = 2x + 5

Then we need to add 6 to both sides

2x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 5 + 6

2x = 2x + 11

We need to transfer 2x on the left side, we gonna do that by subtracting 2x from both sides

2x - 2x = 2x + 11 - 2x

0 = 11

Thus,

There are no solutions.

I hope this helps!

Good luck with your career!
