For this case we have the following equation:
 f (x) = x ^ 2 + bx-49
 Deriving we have:
 f '(x) = 2x + b
 We match zero:
 0 = 2x + b
 We clear x:
 x = -b / 2
 The axis of symmetry is at x = 8, therefore:
 x = -b / 2 = 8
 Clearing b:
 b = -2 * (8)
 b = -16
 Answer:
 
the value of b is:
 
b = -16

Find the area of the polygon.
Allushta [10]

Answer

the area is 26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first part well call it box C box c is 2 cm by 1 cm the area of that box is 2 because 2 x 1 =2

for box B which is 2 cm by 6 cm because you add the 3 on the bottom to the 3 on the top so box B = 12

for box A  it is 3 by 4 so that would be 12

you add the results together 12+12+2=26cm

Sum of two numbers is 24 and the difference is 15.What are the two numbers ?
Alexeev081 [22]
Let,
the bigger number  be "x"
the smaller number be "y"
Now, according to the question,
x + y = 24...........equation (1).............because the sum of numbers is 24
x - y = 15 .............equation (2)..................because their difference is 15

Taking equation (2),
x - y = 15
x = 15 + y ....................equation (3)

Now, Taking equation (1)
x + y = 24
(Substituting the value of "x" form equation (3) we get)
15 + y + y = 24
(Subtracting 15 on both sides, we get)
y + y = 24 - 15
2y = 9
y = 9 / 2
y = 4.5
Now, 
Taking equation (3)
x = 15 + y
(Substituting the value of y , we get)
x = 15 + 4.5
x = 19.5

So, the two numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
