This is essentially a rule in the unit of radicals, where n✔️X^m = X^m/n. If the value of m is equal to n, as in 2✔️3^2 it would simply be 3^2/2 which is nothing but 3^1 = 3. Basically, the m value can be greater than n and or less than n, but if it is equal the m and n values cancel out.

Squaring and square root are inverses, so one should "undo" the other. That is, squaring the square root of a number results in the number. Using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Since a number to the first power is itself, the product of the exponents must equal 1. This means that the power of the square root must be the reciprocal of 2, or one half.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0.25, negative 6), and goes throug
serg [7]

The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

<h3>What is vertex of parabola?</h3>

The vertex of parabola is the point at the intersection of parabola and its line of symmetry.

Now the given function is,

f(x) = 2x^2 – x – 6

Also, it is given that the vertex is located at (0.25, -6)  and the parabola opens up, the function has two x-intercepts.

Comparing the given function with standard form,

f(x) = a x^2 bx + c

By comprison we get,

a = 2

b = -1

c = -6

Now, x-coordinate of vertex is given as,

x = -b/2a

put the values we get,

x = -(-1)/2*2

or, x = 1/4

Put the value of x in given function, so y-coordinate of the vertex is given as,

f(1/4) = 2(1/4)² - 1/4 - 6

        = -49/6

       = -6 1/8

Hence, The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

12. Currently, there are 350 students in the seventh grade at Winchester
sweet [91]

Answer:

Winchester Heights Middle School plan to have 385 students in the  upcoming school year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in the seventh grade at Winchester  Heights Middle School = 350

For the upcoming school year, they are planning to  increase the number of seventh graders by 10%.

Rate of increase = r = 10% = 0.1

Formula :N(t)=N_0(1+r)^t

Where N_0= initial population = 350

r = rate of increase =0.1

N(t)=Population after t years

t = time in years

So, Population after 1 year = 350(1+0.1)^1 =385

Hence  Winchester Heights Middle School plan to have 385 students in the  upcoming school year.
