see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = x² - 2x - 8
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 , that is
x² - 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x- intercepts : x = - 2, x = 4
The x- coordinate of the vertex is mid way between the x- intercepts, that is
=
=
= 1
Substitute x = 1 into the equation for corresponding y- coordinate
y = 1² - 2(1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9
vertex = (1, - 9 )
18. Make the values have the same denominators.
4 2/3(8/8)= 112/24
5 3/8 (3/3)= 129/24
Add the values
112/24+129/24= 241/24
Simplify the answer
241/24= 10 1/24
The answer for question 10 1/24 ounces.
20. Multiply 1 1/4 by 5. (There are 5 days from Monday through Friday)
1.25(5)= 6 1/4
The answer to question 20 is 6 1/4.
