What is the vertex form of the equation?

Mathematics

GuDViN [60]2 years ago

We need to write the equation in its vertex form so we have to know the general equation for the vertex form. It is written as:

y = (x - h)^2 + k

where h and k represents the point of the vertex.

We go as follows:

y = (x^2 + 4x) – 3 
y +4= (x^2 + 4x+4) – 3 
y = (x + 2)^2 - 7

Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is option B.

The vertex form of the equation x^{2}+4x-3 is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math (x+2)^{2} -7\end{minispace}}, that is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\option B\end{minispace}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is a two degree equation that has the standard form ax^{2}+bx+c.

The degree of the given equation x^{2}+4x-3 is 2 therefore it is a quadratic equation.

Every quadratic equation represents a parabola so the given equation also represents a parabolic function.

The standard form of equation of a parabola is written as shown below.

\fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math a(x-h)^{2}+k\end{minispace}}

Here, the value of a represents whether the parabola is upwards or downward and the point (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Therefore, the above equation form is known as the vertex form of the equation.

To transform any quadratic equation into its vertex form, we use completing the square method.

Firstly, if the coefficient of x^{2} is other than 1 then divide the complete equation by that coefficient.

Here, the coefficient of x^{2} is 1 so the first step is not required.

Now, add a value and subtract the same value such that it forms a perfect square.

For a standard quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c, the value that is added and subtracted in the expression is calculated as \left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^{2}.

Hence, add and subtract 4 to the equation and simplify as shown below.

\begin{aligned}x^{2}+4x-3&=x^{2}+4x-3+4-4\\&=x^{2}+4x+4-3-4\\&=(x+2)^{2}-7\end{aligned}

Therefore, the vertex form of the equation x^{2}+4x-3 is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math (x+2)^{2} -7\end{minispace}}.

Two point particles are attached to each other via a light in-extensible string that passes over a ring hanging from the ceiling
arlik [135]

a. The expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

b. The expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

To solve the problem, we need to know what tension is.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

This is the opposing force in a stretched material.

<h3>a. Tension in the string</h3>

The expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

Since the string supports the weight of the object, the tension in the string equals the weight of the particle.

Let

  • T = tension in sring and
  • W = weight of particle = mg where
  • m = mass of particle and
  • g = acceleration due to gravity

So, T = W

T = mg

So, the expression for the tension in the string is T = mg

<h3>b. Tension in chain</h3>

The expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

<h3 />

Since the chain supports both strings, the tension in the chain equals the tension in both strings.

Let

  • T' = tension in chain and
  • T = tension in each string

So, T' = T + T

T' = 2T

T' = 2W

T' = 2mg

So, the expression for the tension in the chain is T = 2mg

<h3 />

In the U.S thirteen of twenty cans are recycled. What % of cans are recycled?
madam [21]

A percent is how many out of 100.

13/20 is how many out of 100?

You multiply the top and bottom by 5, as 5x20 is 100

13x5 is 65

Therefore, 65 out of every hundred cans, or 65%, are recycled

The correct answer is option C which is the given expression is cubic.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Given expression

5x³ + 2x − 3

The cubic expression is one in which the highest power of the variable is three or we can say that the degree of the expression is three so the expression will have three solutions.

Therefore the correct answer is option C which is the given expression is cubic.
