The equation factored would be (x+7)(x-2). As 7-2=5 and (7)(2)=14.

Lapatulllka [165]

When looking at expressions like this,, you need to remember that the square root of a negative number does not exist in the set of Real Numbers. This means that there is no way to simplify this expression,, making the correct answer to your question Undefined.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Which graph has an amplitude of 1/2?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The only graph shown in the question doesn't have amplitude 1/2. look for a graph of a periodic wave function that has maximum y-value 1/2 (0.5) and minimum y-value 1/2 (0.5), or if it is not oscillating around the x-axis, verifies that the distance between minimum y-value and maximum y-value is "1" (one). This is because the amplitude is half of the peak-to-peak distance.

Look at the attached image as example.

Find the vertex of the graph of f(x) = x2 + 4x - 5.

Fofino [41]

You can solve this in two ways.

1. Graphical. Plot the graph for x between -5 and 1 (see attachement).
The vertex of the graph is the peak of the curve, which has the coordinates x=-2, y=-9.

2. Analytical. Calculate the derivative of the function f(x)
$\frac{df}{dx}=2x+4$
Solve the equation:
$2x+4=0$
will give the solution x=-2.
Replace x=-2 in the f(x) function and you'll get the value of y:
$(-2)^2+4 \cdot (-2)-5=4-8-5=-9$

You get the same answer: x=-2, y=-9

So the answer is
B. (-2, -9)
