Answer:
(b) -36
Step-by-step explanation:
Synthetic division is often performed using a table of the kind shown in the attachment. The coefficients of f(x) are placed across the top, and the x-value to be evaluated is placed at the left. The rule for finding table entries is shown. (The first (left-most) number at the bottom is the leading coefficient of the polynomial.)
This table shows the remainder, which is f(-2), is -36.
__
The equation itself can be rewritten in "Horner form" to facilitate evaluation.
f(x) = (((-x +2)x -1)x +4)x +8
In this form, substituting for x and doing the evaluation is easier for mental arithmetic. You will notice that the contents of parentheses at each level match the bottom line of the synthetic division table.
f(-2) = (((-(-2) +2)(-2) -1)(-2) +4)(-2) +8
= (((4)(-2) -1)(-2) +4)(-2) +8
= ((-9)(-2) +4)(-2) +8
= (22)(-2) +8
= -36
f(-2) = -36 . . . . remainder from synthetic substitution
Answer:
Vertex (5 ,-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Function f(x) = (x – 8)(x – 2).
To find : What is the vertex of the quadratic function .
Solution : We have given that f(x) = (x – 8)(x – 2).
On removing parenthesis
f(x) = x²-2x -8x +16.
f(x) = x²-10x +16.
We need to find vertex of this function ,
Vertex: (h, k)
h = -.
Plugging values
h = -.
h = 5 this is the x- coordinate,
Now , we will plug x= 5 in quadratic function .
k = (5)²-10(5)+16.
k = 25-50 + 16
k= -9.
Vertex (5 ,-9)
Therefore, Vertex (5 ,-9).
