(Algebra II) Standard Form of a Quadratic Function - I'm having trouble with two questions on this quiz? Please don't just give

answers, try to explain so I can understand.
1). What are the vertex and the axis of symmetry of the equation? y = –2 x 2 + 8 x – 18

5). The graph below models the acceleration of a car. Interpret the meaning of the vertex.

1.
the x value of the vertex in form
ax^2+bx+c=y
is
-b/2a
so

-2x^2+8x-18
x value of vertex is
-8/(2*-2)=-8/-4=2

plug it in to get y value
-2(2)^2+8(2)-18
-2(4)+16-18
-8-2
-10

vertex is at (2,-10)
or you could complete the square to get into y=a(x-h)^2+k, where the vertex is (h,k)
so as follows
y=(-2x^2+8x)-18
y=-2(x^2-4x)-18
y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4)-18
y=-2((x-2)^2-4)-18
y=-2(x-2)^2+8-18
y=-2(x-2)^2-10
vertex is (2,-10)

The vertex of the graph is the point where the line crosses its axis of symmetry.
The axis of symmetry is the line that you could fold the graph on and it would be symmetrical about that line. 
In your graph you could fold it on the x=10 line (which is a vertical line (goes up and down)) and the graph would be symmetrical. This is saying that you could technically fold this graph in HALF and it would be 100% symmetrical if you were to fold it on that line.
Therefore your vertex is the point on the graph where your line crosses the axis of symmetry which would be (10,something). 
Looking at your graph it is (10,60).

Solve for y 2x+y-3z=5
Elza [17]

Answer:

<h3>A. y=-2x+3z+25</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term of x and y from one side of the equation.

<u>To solve:</u>

  • The value of y.

\Longrightarrow: \sf{\sqrt{2x+y-3z}=5}

<h3>2x+y-3z=25</h3>

<u>First, you have to subtract by 2x-3z from both sides.</u>

\Longrightarrow: \sf{2x+y-3z-\left(2x-3z\right)=25-\left(2x-3z\right)}}

<u>Solve.</u>

\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{y=25-2x+3z}}}

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is "A. y=-2x+3z+25".</u>

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 420 green peas and 174 yellow peas. Use a 0.01
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a) z=\frac{0.293 -0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{594}}}=3.649  

b) For this case we need to find a critical value that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on each tail, we know that \alpha=0.01, so then \alpha/2 =0.005, using the normal standard table or excel we see that:

z_{crit}= \pm 2.58

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=420+174=594 represent the random sample taken

X=174 represent the number of yellow peas

\hat p=\frac{174}{594}=0.293 estimated proportion of yellow peas

p_o=0.23 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of yellow peas is 0.23:  

Null hypothesis:p=0.23  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.23  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.293 -0.23}{\sqrt{\frac{0.23(1-0.23)}{594}}}=3.649  

Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>3.649)=0.00026  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

b) Critical value

For this case we need to find a critical value that accumulates \alpha/2 of the area on each tail, we know that \alpha=0.01, so then \alpha/2 =0.005, using the normal standard table or excel we see that:

z_{crit}= \pm 2.58

Since the calculated value is higher than the critical value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Write the following function in standard form. Show your work. y=(x-5)(x+5)(2x-1)
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

\boxed{y=4x^3-x^2-50x+25}


Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is


y=(x-5)(x+5)(2x-1)


Observe that, the first two factors are from difference of two squares.


\Rightarrow y=(x^2-5^2)(2x-1)


\Rightarrow y=(x^2-25)(2x-1)

We expand the brackets using the distributive property to obtain;

\Rightarrow y=2x^2(2x-1)-25(2x-1)


\Rightarrow y=4x^3-x^2-50x+25


The above function is now in standard form, since the terms are arranged in descending powers of x.

Please view picture. Also please tell mehow you got the answer
Cerrena [4.2K]
Have a look at the image attachment. I've added the points A, B, C, D such that
A = base of the diving board pole, or location of the pool deck
B = the location 1.6 meters directly above point A
C = location of the person's eyes
D = diving board location
The goal is to find the length of segment AD

We are given
AB = 1.6
BC = 3.67
what we want to find is
BD = x

Due to the fact we have similar right triangles ABC and CBD, we can form the proportion below and solve for x
AB/BC = BC/BD
1.6/3.67 = 3.67/x
1.6*x = 3.67*3.67
1.6*x = 13.4689
1.6*x/1.6 = 13.4689/1.6
x = 8.4180625

So BD is 8.4180625 meters
Use this to find the length of AD
AD = AB + BD
AD = 1.6 + 8.4180625
AD = 10.0180625
which rounds to 10.0 meters when rounding to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)
