What is the axis of symmetry for f(x) = -5x^2-20x-10

1 answer:

7 0

The axis of symmetry is a vertical line, and it can be found several ways--the easiest way in your case is to use this equation:

<span>x = -b/2a
</span>
this helps you find the x value of your vertex; the axis of symmetry crosses your vertex. all you have to do is find the x value, because the equation of a vertical line is x =

x = (20/2(-5))
x = 20/-10
x = -2

the equation for your axis of symmetry is x = -2, which is a vertical line at -2 on the x-axis

Cam has a collection of ceramic chickens. 10% of the chickens were given to him as gifts, and he bought the rest himself. If 11

Hello! To find out the amount of ceramic chickens he has in total, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

11/x = 10/100

This is because 11 was just the 10% given as gifts, and we are looking for the total amount. Cross multiply the values in order to get 1,100 = 10x. Divide each side by 10 to isolate the x. 1,100/10 is 110. Let's check. 110 * 10% (0.1) = 11. There. x = 110. Cam has 110 ceramic chickens total.
