How do you find the axis of symmetry in the quadratic equation x²+4x+4=0

The equation of a parabola is y=a(x-p)^2+q, where (p,q) are the coordinates of the vertex. The value of p will be your axis of symmetry.

(x+2)^2=0

In order for 0=0

x=-2

So your axis of symmetry is x=-2

Convert 25 feet per second to miles per hour, with work show.

bulgar [2K]

we know there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, and there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour.

$\bf \cfrac{25 \underline{ft}}{sec}\cdot \cfrac{mi}{5280 \underline{ft}}\cdot \cfrac{3600 \underline{sec}}{hr}\implies \cfrac{25\cdot 3600}{5280}\cfrac{mi}{hr}\implies \cfrac{375}{22}\cfrac{mi}{hr}\implies 17.0\overline{45}\frac{mi}{hr}$

Cedric completed the square for the quadratic expression 5x^2−40x+15 in order to determine the minimum value of the expression,

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Step 3 is not correct (should be $(x-4)^2$ , not $(x+4)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that we have to simplify is:

$5x^2-40x+15$

We proceed step-by-step, in order to find the mistake did by Cedric:

1) First, we factorize the 5 outside:

$5(\frac{5x^2}{5}-\frac{40x}{5}+\frac{15}{5})=5(x^2-40x+3)$ --> this step is correct

2) We add +16 and -16 inside the brackets:

$5(x^2-8x+16-16+3)$ --> this step is correct

3) We rewrite the term $(x^2-8x+16)$ as the square of a bynomial, which is $(x-4)^2$ , so the expression becomes

$5((x-4)^2-16+3)$ --> we notice that this step is wrong: in fact, Cedric wrote $(x+4)^2$ , which is not correct.

4) Now we continue: we rewrite -16+3 as -13,

$5((x-4)^2-13)$

5) Finally, we multiply the 5 by the terms in the bracket:

$=5(x-4)^2-65$

A bag contains 5 red marbles 8 green marbles 6 orange marbles and 11 yellow marbles what is the probability of randomly choosing

Viktor [21]

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation: Add all the marbles together:5 + 8 + 6 +11= 30

Find the probability of orange: 6/30

Now divide 6 by 30= .2

Turn .2 into a decimal: 20%
