A parabola is a quadratic function, and a quadratic can be expressed in vertex form, which is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex (absolute maximum or minimum point of the quadratic)
In this case we are given that (h,k) is (-5,80) so we have so far:
y=a(x--5)^2+80
y=a(x+5)^2+80, we are also told that it passes through the point (0,-45) so:
-45=a(0+5)^2+80
-45=25a+80 subtract 80 from both sides
-125=25a divide both sides by 25
-5=a, so now we know the complete vertex form is:
y=-5(x+5)^2+80
The x-intercepts occur when y=0 so:
0=-5(x+5)^2+80 add 5(x+5)^2 to both sides
5(x+5)^2=80 divide both sides by 5
(x+5)^2=16 take the square root of both sides
x+5=±√16 which is
x+5=±4 subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5±4 so the x-intercepts are:
x=-1 and -9

Answer:
n = all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
7n+12=1/2(14n+24)
multiply each side by 2
2(7n+12)=2*1/2(14n+24)
distribute
14n+24 = 14n + 24
subtract 14n from each side
14n-14n+24 = 14n-14n + 24
24=24
this is always true
n = all real numbers
It is somewhere in between 7,4 and 4,8
