Answer:
f(x) = 2x² - 8x - 10.
This is a parabola open upward (since a>0) with an axis of symmetry = -b/2a:
a) axis of symmetry: x = -(-8)/(2*2) = 8/4 = 2. Then x = 2, which is the x component of the vertex
b) for x = 2, f(x) = f(2) = - 18 (component of y of the vertex)
c) VERTEX(2, - 18)
d) DISCRIMINENT: b² - 4.a.c = 64 - 4*2*(-10) = 144
Hope this helps! :)
Use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by 14.
Leaving you with.. (70 - 3.5 x 350) + 2 / 4 x 1.
Then reduce the parentheses.
Leaving you with.. ( -1155) + 2 / 4 x 1
Then divide 2 by four.
Leaving you with.. (-1155) + .5
Answer.. -1,154.5
Answer:



Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the length of the rectangular garden
y---> the width of the rectangular garden
we know that
The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

we have

so

simplify

------> equation A
Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
----> this is a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex is a maximum
The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area
The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area
using a graphing tool
The vertex is the point 
see the attached figure
so

Find the value of y

The garden is a square
the area is equal to
----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct
