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

Roman55 [17]
V = ( 9*2 ) / 3 ;
v = 18 / 3 ;
v = 6 ;
a. is the right answer;

( 119.5 / 151 ) * 100 = 11950 / 151 = 79.1 ;

The percent is 79.1%;

c. is the right answer;


1 - (40/100)*1 = 1 - 2 / 5 = 3 / 5 = 0.60 ;
d. is the right answer.
