A parabola is a quadratic function, and a quadratic can be expressed in vertex form, which is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex (absolute maximum or minimum point of the quadratic)
In this case we are given that (h,k) is (-5,80) so we have so far:
y=a(x--5)^2+80
y=a(x+5)^2+80, we are also told that it passes through the point (0,-45) so:
-45=a(0+5)^2+80
-45=25a+80 subtract 80 from both sides
-125=25a divide both sides by 25
-5=a, so now we know the complete vertex form is:
y=-5(x+5)^2+80
The x-intercepts occur when y=0 so:
0=-5(x+5)^2+80 add 5(x+5)^2 to both sides
5(x+5)^2=80 divide both sides by 5
(x+5)^2=16 take the square root of both sides
x+5=±√16 which is
x+5=±4 subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5±4 so the x-intercepts are:
x=-1 and -9
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of two supplementary angles = 15:21
The angles are 15x , 21x
15x + 21x = 180 {Supplementary}
36x = 180
x = 180/36
x = 5
Smallest angle = 15 * 5 = 75
Answer:
10 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 4 and 2 and then multiply 2 and 4. If you do that then you get 8 8/3. You then just take the numerator and turn it into whole numbers to get 10 2/3.
1,5, and 25. 1*25=25 and 5*5=25
The angle x has a measure of 110 degrees
<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>
From the question, we have the triangle shape that can be used in our computation:
On the triangle, the external angles are
x, 140 and 110
These angles are on the same straight line with their corresponding internal angles
By the angle on a straight line theorem, we have the internal angles to be
180 - x, 180 - 140 and 180 - 110
The sum of these angles is 180
So, we have
180 - x + 180 - 140 + 180 - 110 = 180
Evaluate
x = 110
Hence, the value of x is 110 degrees
