Answer:
x = - 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sketch represents
y = x² + bx + c
The graph crosses the y- axis at (0 , - 14), thus c = - 14
y = x² + bx - 14
Given the graph crosses the x- axis at (2, 0), then
0 = 2² + 2b - 14
0 = 4 + 2b - 14 = 2b - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )
10 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )
b = 5
y = x² + 5x - 14 ← represents the graph
let y = 0 , then
x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
The x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 2
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is midway between the x- intercepts, thus
the x- coordinate of the turning point is =
= - 2.5
Answer:
None of these.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x-6) is a factor. We got the quotient (x^2+6) and the remainder 13 according to the problem. So we know (x-6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.
Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x^2+6) is a factor. The quotient is (x-6) and the remainder is 13 according to the problem. So we know (x^2+6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.
In order for 13 to be a factor of P, all the terms of P must be divisible by 13. That just means you can reduce it to a form that is not a fraction.
If we look at the first term x^3 and we divide it by 13 we get we cannot reduce it so it is not a fraction so 13 is not a factor of P
None of these is the right option.
