The x-coordinate of the vertex of the equation y = 2x2 − 4x + 12 The x-coordinate of the vertex of the equation y = 4x2 + 8x + 3
1 answer:
So since the vertex falls onto the axis of symmetry, we can just solve for that to get the x-coordinate of both equations. The equation for the axis of symmetry is , with b = x coefficient and a = x^2 coefficient. Our equations can be solved as such:
y = 2x^2 − 4x + 12:
y = 4x^2 + 8x + 3:
In short, the vertex x-coordinate's of y = 2x^2 − 4x + 12 is 1 while the vertex's x-coordinate of y = 4x^2 + 8x + 3 is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the amount of money in an account after a certain amount is deposited and compounded after t years once per year is
Our A(t) = 33800, P = 4400, r = .075 and we are looking for t. Filling in:
and
Begin by dividing both sides by 4400 to get
The only way to move that t our from its current position as an exponent is to take the natural log of both sides and follow the rules for natural logs:
The power rule of natural logs says we can move that exponent down in front, giving us:
Divide both sides by ln(1.075) to get
Do this division on your calculator to get
t = 28.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Synthetic Substitution</u>
It's a method to find the value of a polynomial for a given value of x. The polynomial we want to evaluate is
at x=-5
We can, of course, just replace x for -5 and compute the powers, products and sums and subtractions, but we can use the synthetic substitution to avoid the powers, just by multiplying and adding or subtracting. The method requires us to use only the coefficients of the ordered and complete polynomial as shown:
-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2
Now we set up an arrangement where we can place some operations
-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2
-5
The second row and a new third row will be filled by computing values as explained below.
The first value of the third row is the very same first coefficient (-1)
-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2
-5
-1
The second value of the second row is the -5 times the first value of the third row: (-5)(-1)=5
Next value of the third row is the sum of the values above of it: 4+5=9
-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2
-5 5
-1 9
Now we proceed the same with next values to get the full arrangement or synthetic substitution
-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2
-5 5 -45 245 -1195 5990 -29920 149605
-1 9 -49 239 -1198 5984 -29921 149603
The very last value of the third row is the required substitution
f(-5)=149603
