Since you need the vertex, and knowing the vertex will tell you the axis of symmetry, it is convenient to put the equation in vertex form.
.. -x^2 -4x +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x) +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x +(4/2)^2) +1 -(-(4/2)^2) . . . . complete the square
.. = -(x +2)^2 +5
The vertex is (-2, 5).
The axis of symmetry is x = -2.
Answer:
Exact circumference is 
Approximate circumference is 
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- The diameter of a circle as
We are required to determine the exact and approximate circumference of the circle.
- We know that the circumference of the circle is given by;
- Circumference = πD, where D is the diameter
Taking π as 3.14
The exact circumference of the circle is
Thus, the approximate circumference of the circle is
-3°C is the coldest temperature
Answer: x≤ -0.5
Step-by-step explanation: Graph the two lines or solve for x:
2x – 6 ≥ 6(x – 2) + 8
2x – 6 ≥ 6x – 12 + 8
2x – 6 ≥ 6x – 4
-4x ≥ 2
x ≤ -1/2 [Inequality is reversed when multiplying or dividing by a negative number]
The number line is anything less than or equal to - 1/2
Or one can plot each side of the inequality and note the interception point (x = -(1/2)).
