Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, so the axis of symmetry is x = 3. Find any two x-intercepts that are equal distance from the axis of symmetry. Use those  x-intercepts to write factors of the function by subtracting their values from x. For example, 2 and 4 are each 1 unit from x = 3, so f(x) =  (x – 2)(x – 4) is a possible function.

<span>The definition of quadratic function is given by:

</span>(1) \ f(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c \\ \\ where \ a, b, c \ are \ real \ values<span>

So the problem asks for two conditions:

<em>1. Write the quadratic function in factored form. </em>
<em>2. The vertex has an x-coordinate of 3.</em>

Then the equation (1) must be written as follows:

</span>f(x)=(x-m)(x-n) \\ \\ where \ m \ and \ n \ are \ the \ roots<span>

To satisfy the two conditions:

\frac{m+n}{2}=3

So we are free to choose the value of one root, say:

m=1

Thus:

n=6-1=5

Finally, the answer is:

f(x)=(x-1)(x-5)

The graph of this function is shown in the figure below.</span>

Angles

<h3>Answer: XWY and STR</h3>

I tend to think of parallel lines as train tracks (the metal rail part anyway). Inside the train tracks is the interior region, while outside the train tracks is the exterior region. Alternate exterior angles are found here. Specifically they are angles that are on opposite or alternate sides of the transversal cut.

Both pairs of alternate exterior angles are shown in the diagram below. They are color coded to help show how they pair up and which are congruent.

A thing to notice: choices B, C, and D all have point W as the vertex of the angles. This means that the angles somehow touch or are adjacent in some way due to this shared vertex point. However, alternate exterior angles never touch because parallel lines never do so either. We can rule out choices B,C,D from this reasoning alone. We cannot have both alternate exterior angles on the same exterior side of the train tracks. Both sides must be accounted for.

If we write out the expression √4√6/√3√2, then we get the solution to the surd as 2.

<h3>What is a surd?</h3>

A surd is an irrational number which is often shown as a square root. In this case, we have the value; √4√6/√3√2.

This is the same as; 2√6/√6. This now implies that we can cancel out the surd form which is shown as √6 hence the result of the expression is 2.
