What is the axis of symmetry of the function f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)

Mathematics

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
3 0
Carry out the mult.:  f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189] 

Combine like terms:  f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [   ]:      f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c:   a= -1, b=12, c=189

The equation of the axis of symmetry is    x = -b/(2a), which here equals

x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or     x = 6

This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex.  Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.

write an equation of the line with the following information. Through (4,1) and perpendicular to y=1/3x +3
Yakvenalex [24]
Perpendicular means the two lines' slopes are negative reciprocal to each other. the slope of the given line is 1/3, therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/1, which is -3
use the point-slope form: the given point is (4,1), so (y-1)=-3(x-4)
you can stop right here or you can write it into slope intercept form:
y-1=-3x+12
y=-3x+13

your family have decided to paint your room. It took 1/2 hour to paint 1/8 of your room. How long will it take to paint your who
Elodia [21]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In  6  hours,  J  paints  1  room

So, in  1  hour,  J  paints  1/6 th of the room

Using similar logic, in  1  hour,  T  paints  1/12 th of the room.

Working together in one hour, they paint  (1/6+1/12) th =1/4  of the room.

1/4  of the room is painted in  1  hour

So,  1  room is painted in  1 1/4=4  hours
