X-intercepts are zeroes of the parabola.
(x-x1)(x-x2)=(x+1.6)(x+3.2)=x² +1.6x+3.2x+5.12=x²+4.8x+5.12
 
y=x²+4.8x+5.12, but the y-int. is (0, 25.6),

So, our parabola should look like
y=5(x²+4.8x+5.12)
y=5x²+24x+25.6

 Answer: y = 5(x + 1.6)(x + 3.2)

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Explanation:
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

<em>x-intercept = (-1.6, 0) and (-3.2, 0)</em>

=====>   y = a(x + 1.6)(x + 3.2)

<em>Given y-intercept = (0, 25.6)</em>

=====>  25.6 = a( 0 + 1.6)(0 + 3.2) 
=====>  25.6 = 5.12a
=====>  a = 5

<em>Plug in a = 5 into the equation
</em>
=====>  y = 5(x + 1.6)(x + 3.2)

Someone help me out please
uysha [10]

1 step (B): raise both sides of the equation to the power of 2.

(\sqrt{x+3}-\sqrt{2x-1})^2=(-2)^2,\\   (x+3)-2\sqrt{x+3}\cdot \sqrt{2x-1}+(2x-1)=4,\\ 3x+2-2\sqrt{x+3}\cdot \sqrt{2x-1}=4.

2 step (A): simplify to obtain the final radical term on one side of the equation.

-2\sqrt{x+3}\cdot \sqrt{2x-1}=4-3x-2,\\ -2\sqrt{x+3}\cdot \sqrt{2x-1}=2-3x,\\ 2\sqrt{x+3}\cdot \sqrt{2x-1}=3x-2.

3 step (F): raise both sides of the equation to the power of 2 again.

(2\sqrt{x+3}\cdot \sqrt{2x-1})^2=(3x-2)^2,\\ 4(x+3)(2x-1)=(3x-2)^2.

4 step (E): simplify to get a quadratic equation.

4(2x^2-x+6x-3)=(3x)^2-2\cdot 3x\cdot 2+2^2,\\ 8x^2+20x-12=9x^2-12x+4,\\ x^2-32x+16=0.

5 step (D): use the quadratic formula to find the values of x.

D=(-32)^2-4\cdot 16=1024-64=960, \\ \sqrt{D} =8\sqrt{5} ,\\ x_{1,2}=\dfrac{32\pm 8\sqrt{5}}{2} =16\pm 4\sqrt{5}.

6 step (C): apply the zero product rule.

x^2-32x+16=(x-16-4\sqrt{5}) (x-16+4\sqrt{5}) ,\\ (x-16-4\sqrt{5}) (x-16+4\sqrt{5}) =0,\\ x_1=16+4\sqrt{5} ,x_2=16-4\sqrt{5}.

Additional 7 step: check these solutions, substituting into the initial equation.

One side of a square is 3x + 2. Which expression represents the perimeter?
MissTica

Your answer would be 12x + 8 because there are 4 sides to a square and they are all 3x + 2, so you would need to multiply 3x + 2 by 4 which you can do by expanding brackets which gives you 4(3x + 2) and thus when you multiply it out you get 12x + 8. I hope this helps!
