Which graph shows the axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = (x – 2)2 + 1?

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment of graph representing the axis of symmetry.

We are asked to choose the graph from our given choices, which shows the axis of symmetry for the function:

f(x)=(x-2)^2+1

We can see that our function represents a parabola.

Since we know that axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides parabola into two congruent parts. The axis of symmetry intersects parabola at its vertex.

Let us find the vertex of our given parabola using formula: x=\frac{-b}{2a}, where,

a = Coefficient of x^{2}.

b = Coefficient of x.

To apply this formula we will represent our parabola as a quadratic equation (ax^2+bx+c) as:

f(x)=x^2-4x+4+1

f(x)=x^2-4x+5  

Upon substituting a= 1 and b= -4 in the formula we will get,

x=\frac{-(-4)}{2*1}

x=\frac{4}{2}

x=2  

Therefore, the vertical line passing through point x = 2 will be the axis of symmetry for our given function and graph B is the correct choice.

(x -2)^2 + 1 = 0
x^2 -4x + 5 = 0
The 'x' value of the axis of symmetry = 'x' value of the vertex.
To get this value, take the derivative of x^2 -4x + 5 = 0 which equals
2x -4 =0
x = 2 which equals the axis of symmetry

Blank DVD's are sold in packages of 50 for $17.95 if your company will need 2700 blank divide these next year how much money mus
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

50 X 240 = 2700. So you will need 240 packs of 50. They cost 17.95 each, so the multiply. 240 X 17.95 is 4,308. So, 4,308 is your answer.

Reuben learned in art class that a mosaic is made by arranging small pieces of colored material such as glass or tile to create
anastassius [24]

Pattern is the rule that guides the formation of a set.

  • <em>The sequence of the first five mosaics is 5, 8, 11, 14, 17</em>
  • <em>The sequence is arithmetic</em>
  • <em>There are 32 tiles in the tenth mosaic.</em>

From the given design, the number of tiles used is:

T_1 = 5

T_2 = 8

T_3 = 11

<u />

<u>(a) The first five</u>

Notice that the difference in the number of tiles of successive mosaic is 3.

This means that:

T_4 = T_3 + 3 = 11 +3 = 14

T_5 = T_4 + 3 = 14 +3 = 17

So, the sequence of the first five mosaics is 5, 8, 11, 14, 17

<u>(b) The type of sequence</u>

The sequence is arithmetic

This is so, because the difference in the number of tiles of successive mosaic is 3.

This difference is called the common difference

<u>(c) The number of tiles in the tenth mosaic</u>

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

T_n = T_1 + (n - 1) \times d

In this case:

T_1 = 5

d =3

n = 10

So, we have:

T_{10} = 5 + (10 - 1) \times 3

T_{10} = 5 + 9 \times 3

T_{10} = 5 + 27

T_{10} = 32

There are 32 tiles in the tenth mosaic.

Can you break down how this equation was solved?
dolphi86 [110]
Yes! Let me help you!

Here is the original equation, lets solve this step-by-step

(x + 2)/4 = 5

Now, lets find out how. 

We must apply the inverse operation. 

4/2 is the reciprocal, so lets multiply that to both sides. 

4/2 = 2
5*4 = 20

4x + 8 = 20
      -8      -8            Subtract 8 from both sides. (Inverse operation) 

4x = 12
4x/4  = 12/4             Divide 4 by both sides (Inverse)

x = 12/4
x = 3           Simplified
