Find two numbers whose sum is 15 and whose product is as large as possible.

If one number is x the other is 15-x so their product is 15x-x².
This can be written -(x²-15x+225/4)+225/4=(15/2)²-(x-15/2)².
The largest value of this expression is when x=15/2=7.5 so the other number is also 7.5.
Let’s pick two other numbers and check their product: 7 and 8, product=56 but the product of 7.5 and 7.5=56.25 which is larger, therefore the two numbers are 7.5 and 7.5.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of vertex of the functions =2x^2+4x-3
SVEN [57.7K]
Hello,

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry is like find the maximum or minimum point of this function.

f(x)=2x^2+4x-3\\\\\alpha=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{4}{4}=-1\\\\

The equation of the axis of symmetry is then :   x=-1

\beta=f(\alpha)=2(-1)^2+4(-1)-3=2-4-3=-5

Coordinates of vertex :   (\alpha,\beta)=(-1;-5)
