Here we are given the x intercepts at x=3 and x=9

So let us try to make quadratic equation for this using given information.

We have factors in the form (x-a)(x-b)

where a and b are x intercepts given to us.

So rewriting in factored form:

y=(x-3)(x-9)

Now let us simplify it:

y=x^{2}-12x+27

Let us find the vertex now,

For a quadratic equation of the form:

y=ax^{2}+bx+c

For x coordinate , we have the formula,

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

So using this formula for our equation,

x=\frac{-(-12)}{2(1)}

So x = 6

Answer: The x-coordinate of the parabola's vertex is 6.

&lt; Last spring, Kai planted a total of 9 green peppers and tomatoes in the community garden.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of pepper plants, then (x + 6) = the number of tomato plants. Since the ratio of tomatoes to peppers is 5:2, we have the following:

5/2 = (x + 6)/x

2x + 12 = 5x

12 = 3x

4 = x = the number of pepper plants

The sum of the first terms of an Arithmetic progression (Ap) is 130.if the fifth term is 3times,the first term,find the (a)commo
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

For part a)

130 = 10/2[2a+(10-1)d]

Simplify, u get

2a + 9d = 26.................(1)

Also U5 = a + (5-1)d = 3a

Simplify, u get

a= 2d...................(2)

Substituting for a in equation 1,

2(2d)+9d= 26

Solving for d, we get

d = 2

In part b) substituting for d in equation 2 to get the first term

a = 2(2) = 4

Part c) the no. of terms required can be obtained by solving

28 = 4+(n-1)2

n = 13
