Please find which quadratic equation matches the graph with work attached

Mathematics
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we know that the function must be negative due to its shape. This means that the answer cannot be B

Next we can use the equation x=\frac{-b}{2a} that is used in order to find the vertex of the parabola.

A)

f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\a=-1,b=6,c=7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\x=3

As the vertex is at x=3 on the graph, this one could be a contender.

C)

f(x)=-x^2+6x-7\\a=-1,b=6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\\\x=3

This also could be the equation

D)

f(x)=-x^2-6x-7\\\\a=-1, b=-6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{6}{-2} \\\\x=-3

This rules option D out.

For this last step, we can look at where the zeroes would be for each equation. (These values are irrational, so we cannot look at specific number)

A)

f(x)=-(x^2-6x-7)

As this equation has a negative value for c, this means that one zero must be positive and the other must be negative.

This means that option A can be ruled out

C)

f(x)=-(x^2-6x+7)

As this equation has a positive value for c, this means that both of the zeroes must be positive. This means that it is the only one that fits all of the criteria.

Phalicia is a senior at North HS and wants to begin saving for college. She's trying to choose between two savings account optio
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Phalicia opens her savings account one year (12 months) before she goes to college.

With Option 1, she would have saved 300 + 50 * 11 = $850. We do 50 * 11 and not 50 * 12 because she deposits $50 for 11 months, not 12.

With Option 2, she would have saved 5 * 3¹¹ = $885735. Note that we do 3¹¹ and not 3¹² because 5 is being tripled 11 times.

Obviously, she should choose Option 2 because she saves A LOT more money.

Additionally, we can notice that Option 1 is an example of an arithmetic sequence whereas Option 2 is an example of a geometric sequence. Their explicit formulas would be aₙ = 50n + 250 and aₙ = 5 * 3⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ respectively.

Find one value of x that is a solution to the equation:<br>(x^2– 8)^2 + x^2 – 8 = 20<br>x=​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 + x^2 + (x^2 - 8)^2 = 20

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^4 - 15 x^2 + 56 = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^4 - 15 x^2 + 36 = 0

Substitute y = x^2:

y^2 - 15 y + 36 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(y - 12) (y - 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

y - 12 = 0 or y - 3 = 0

Add 12 to both sides:

y = 12 or y - 3 = 0

Substitute back for y = x^2:

x^2 = 12 or y - 3 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or y = 3

Substitute back for y = x^2:

x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x^2 = 3

Take the square root of both sides:

Answer: x = 2 sqrt(3) or x = -2 sqrt(3) or x = sqrt(3) or x = -sqrt(3)

What is the surface area?
torisob [31]

Answer:

since the formula of a triangle is ab/2 and since there is four simply multiply 3x4 which is 12 and divide by 2 which is 6 and 6x4= 24 and add that tp 9 since the base is just 3x3 which results for an answer of 33.
