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

Mathematics

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

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.

Please help (Determine the slope of the line. Show the work you did to find the slope.)
Scrat [10]

Answer:

slope of line is 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is the ratio of the change in the y-values over the change in the x-values

in this problem, if you go from pt A to pt B, you rise by 3 and go to the right by 5, thus slope of 3/5

if you go from pt B to pt C, you rise by 6 and go to the right by 10

however, 6/10 can be reduced to 3/5

if you start at point (0,2) and rise by 3 and run to the right by 5 you are at point (5,5)

change in y-values is 5-2 or 3

change in x-values is 5-0 or 5

(5-2)/(5-0) = 3/5

Write an equation that is perpendicular to the line 8x-4y=12 and pass through the origin
fenix001 [56]
Answers


Explanation

So first we’re gonna change the equation to y=Mx+b by subtracting the 8x and then dividing both sides by -4. This can be show like this

8x-4y=12
-8x. -8x

-4y=-8x+12
/-4. /-4

Y=2x-3

So now that we have the equation in Y=Mx+b. The problem still isn’t done because it’s asking us to set up an equation that’s perpendicular. Which means the slope becomes the opposite

So the slope isn’t 2 anymore but instead -1/2! So now that we know that we need to make the line go through the origin which is very easy because you can just set the y intercept to 0.

So now that the perpendicular line is

Y=-1/2x or y=-1/2x +0

I hope I explain this well!
