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

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i assume x+y=6(1/2)=\frac{13}{2}

\frac{5}{8}=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{x}{\frac{13}{2}-x}=\frac{2x}{13-2x}\\65-10x=16x \\26 x=65\\2x=5\\x=\frac{5}{2}\\y=\frac{13}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4
