Answer:

x=3

(Do not write a character less than what I have written; 3 is not the answer but x=3 is the answer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabolas have a axis of symmetry; this is the line they are symmetrical about.  

The line of symmetry will always go through the vertex.

Since your question says it is a function the line will be vertical and will be of the form x=a number.

The number is determine by the x-coordinate of the vertex.

I know the vertex of your problem is (3,-1) because it says that is the minimum point of the graph.  The vertex of a parabola will always be it's maximum (this parabola is open down) or minimum (this parabola is open up).

So the axis of symmetry is just:

x=3.

You must actually write x=3.

3 is not the answer.

x=3 is the answer.

Little note down here:

(If it had said the parabola wasn't a function, the axis of symmetry would have been horizontal and therefore of the form y=a number where the number was the y-coordinate of the vertex.)

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parabola has a minimum turning point then it is a vertically opening parabola with a vertical line of symmetry.

The line of symmetry passes through the turning point and has equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinate of the minimum point, that is

Equation of symmetry is x = 3

How do you use trigonometric ratios to solve for a missing side or angle of a right triangle?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the sine of the angle of one corner equals the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.

the cosine of the angle of one corner equals the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse.

the tangent of the angle of one corner equals the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.

For an airplane we need to create a function. The airplane flies in straight line so this means that we will have linear function. The airplane starts left of the rainbow. So let's take the following function:
y=x+8

"<span>Create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow."
To find the intersection points we need to solve system of two equations:
</span>y=- x^{2} +36 \\ y=x+36
Solution are two points:
(-1,35) and (0,36)
Now we can create a table
x        -1    0     1    2
f(x)    35    36   37  38    
<span>

"</span><span>What is the domain and range of the rainbow? Explain what the domain and range represent. Do all of the values make sense in this situation? Why or why not?"

The domain represents all possible values that x can have. The range represents all possible values that y can have.
In this example not all values make sense. Rainbow goes above ground and touches it.
Limitations exist if we have fraction, root, logarithm, trigonometric function... We do not have any of these so there are no limitations, so x can have any value.
Domain:  -6</span>≤x≤6   because x can not have smaller values than those at ground touch.
The formula for parabola is:
y=a x^{2} +b
Depending on sign of x^{2} the maximum or minimum value of y is equal to b. All other smaller or greater values are possible.
Range: 0≤y≤36     because y can not have smaller values than those at ground touch.

"<span>What are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? Explain what each intercept represents."
x- and y- intercepts represent points at which function touches x- and y- axis.
To find y- intercept we insert x=0 into equation:
y=0+36
y=36
To find x- intercept we insert y=0
0=-</span>x^{2}+36
x^{2} =36 \\  x_{1} =-6 \\  x_{2} =6

"<span>Is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? Explain."

Function is positive if it lies above x-axis. Function is negative if it lies below x-axis.
Positive on interval:  x </span>∈ <-6,∞>
Negative on interval: x ∈ <-∞,-6>
Not defined: x= -6


"What are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created?Explain what it or they represent."

We already found these solutions:
y=- x^{2} +36 \\ y=x+36
Solution are two points:
(-1,35) and (0,36)
These solutions represent points of intersection of linear function and parabola.

"Explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function."

Step 1) we need to find domain and range
Step 2) we need to find x- and y- intercepts
Step 3) if the function is exponential we find minima and maxima
Step 4) we find at least three values for the function

What are the coefficients for the binomial expansion of (p+q)^6
seropon [69]

Answer:

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, we need to look at Pascal's Triangle, which is a tricky little way to find the coefficients for any binomial expression like this! Check the attached photo.

Because this is to the sixth, we need the 6th row, which is <u>1 6 15 20 15 6 1.</u> From this, we know that those numbers are the coefficients!
