So.. hmmm notice the vertex location for a parabola
is located at \bf y = ax^2+bx+c
\qquad \\

\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad  f\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\right)\right)

also, notice the axis of symmetry in the picture, x = 6
the axis of symmetry is located at the same x-value as
the vertex's x-coordinate, so whatever\bf -\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}} is
is equals to 6, since we know, by the axis of symmetry, 
that that x spot IS indeed 6

so one can say \bf y = 1x^2+bx+10
\\\\

-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\implies -\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ (1)}}}
\\ \quad \\\\
and\qquad -\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ (1)}}}=6\impliedby \textit{ solve for "b"}

Answer:

b=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x^{2}+bx+10

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

and the axis of symmetry is equal to x=h

In this problem we have the axis of symmetry x=6

so

the x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to 6  

therefore

For x=6+1=7 -----> one unit to the right of the vertex

Find the value of f(7)

f(7)=7^{2}+b(7)+10

f(7)=59+7b

For x=6-1=5 -----> one unit to the left of the vertex

Find the value of f(5)

f(5)=5^{2}+b(5)+10

f(5)=35+5b

Remember that

f(5)=f(7) ------> the x-coordinates are at the same distance from the axis of symmetry

so

59+7b=35+5b ------> solve for b

7b-5b=35-59

2b=-24

b=-12

Here are three stories:
aev [14]

Answer:

1)

a) 6x+3 = 27

b) x=4

c) We know that x is price of each ticket, so The price of each ticket is $4. They bought 6 tickets, so total cost of ticket = 24 and $3 for parking so, total money spent = $27.

2)

a) 3x + 6 = 27

b) x= 7

c) We know that x is amount of juice poured, so 3 friends of Diego will get 7 ounces of Juice, while Diego will get 6 ounces of juice.

3)

a) 27x + 3 = 6

b) x= 1/9

c) We know that x is time spend on each picture, so Jada spend 1/9 hour on each picture

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A family buys 6 tickets to a show. They also pay a $3 parking fee. They spend $27 to see the  show.

a)  Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?

Let x be price of one ticket.

The equation will be: 6x+3 = 27

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

6x+3=27

6x=27-3

6x=24

x=24/6

x=4

So, we get x = 4

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is price of each ticket, so The price of each ticket is $4. They bought 6 tickets, so total cost of ticket = 24 and $3 for parking so, total money spent = $27.

2. Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6  ounces left for himself.

a)  Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?

Let x be amount of juice poured.

The equation will be: 3x+6 = 27

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

3x+6=27

3x=27-6

3x=21

x=21/3

x=7

So, we get x = 7

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is amount of juice poured, so 3 friends of Diego will get 7 ounces of Juice, while Diego will get 6 ounces of juice.

3. Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6  ounces left for himself.

a)  Jada works for 6 hours preparing for the art fair. She spends 3 hours on a sculpture and  then paints 27 picture frames.

Let x be time spend on each picture frame.

The equation will be: 27x+3=6

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

27x+3=6

27x=6-3

27x=3

x=3/27

x=1/9

So, we get x = 1/9

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is time spend on each picture, so Jada spend 1/9 hour on each picture
