Ok 
First factor out the first 2 terms as follows:-

y  = 1/2(x^2 - 8x) + 21

Now complete the square on x^2 - 8x:-

y = 1/2[ (x - 4)^2 - 16] + 21

y = 1/2(x - 4)^2 - 8 + 21

y = 1/2(x - 4)^2 + 13   Answer

What are the verter and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?<br> y=x2-2x-35
horsena [70]

For x intercepts, plug in 0 for y.

               0 = (x^2) - 2x - 35

*factoring* = (x-7)(x+5)

x intercepts = 7,-5

As for the vertex, you can use the equation -b/2a for the x-coordinate of the vertex

so,

x = -b/2a = -(-2)/2 = 1

then just find the y value by plugging it back in to the equation.

y = ((1)^2) - 2(1) - 35

= -36

so, vertex is at (1,-36)

My living room is 6m (to the nearest m) by 5m (to the nearest m). What is the maximum and minimum area of my living room? Write
Archy [21]

Answer:

24.75m ≤ 30m < 35.75m

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum area:

5.5 (lower bound of 6m) * 4.5 (lower bound of 5m) = 24.75m

Maximum area:

6.5 (upper bound of 6m) * 5.5 (upper bound of 5m) = 35.75m

Normal area:

6*5=30m

I hope that makes some sense or helps a little!
