<span>Given the quadratic equation: f(x) = -2x^2 - 2x - 1, the axis of symmetry can be obtained by finding the line that divides the function into two congruent or identical halves. Thus, it should pass through the vertex and is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex. </span>

<span>Note that a quadratic equation in standard form: y = ax^2 + bx + c, has the vertex located at (h,k) where, h = -b/2a and k is determined by evaluating y at h. In this case, a = -2, b = -2, thus, h = -0.5, k = 0.5. Thus, the vertex is located at (-0.5, 0.5) and the axis of symmetry is at x = -0.5. </span>

Answer:

Part A) The vertex is the point (-0.5,-0.5)

Part B) The axis of symmetry is x=-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2}+k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

and the axis of symmetry is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

x=h -----> equation of the axis of symmetry

In this problem we have  

f(x)=-2x^{2}-2x-1

Convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

f(x)+1=-2x^{2}-2x

Factor the leading coefficient

f(x)+1=-2(x^{2}+x)

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

f(x)+1-(1/2)=-2(x^{2}+x+(1/4))

f(x)+(1/2)=-2(x^{2}+x+(1/4))

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)+(1/2)=-2(x+(1/2))^{2}

f(x)=-2(x+(1/2))^{2}-(1/2) -----> equation in vertex form

The vertex of the parabola is the point (-0.5,-0.5)

Is a vertical parabola open downward

The axis of symmetry is equal to

x=-0.5

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Equation: 50 is greater than or equal to 45 + .5(x)

x = amount of pictures you can send without going over your budget

subtract 45 from both sides. you are left with: 5 is greater than or equal to .5(x)

multiply both sides by 2. you are left with: 10 is greater than or equal to x

Answer: 10 is greater than or equal to x

In a group of 60 students, 12 students take Algebra I, 18 students take Algebra II, and 8 students take both subjects. How many
vodomira [7]
Since 8 students take both, that leaves only 4 students who take Algebra I alone.
Likewise since 8 students take both, that leaves 10 who only take Algebra 2
So out of the 60, twenty two are taking either Alg I Alg Ii or both.

That leaves 38 people who are not taking either.
b. 38

You can set this up using a 2 circle venn diagram.  Just be sure to put the 8 who take both in first.

For this problem you need to put the x values in for x in the equation. For example, put -10 in for x and calculate y, which is g(x)

dezoksy [38]
Hey there,

Answer: Tomatoes 

If you multiply 10 x 0.69 (for onions) it would be 6.9
If you multiply 100 x 0.99 (for tomatoes) it would be 99
Lastly, if you multiply 100 x 0.69 (for lettuce) if would be 69


Which are the most? Tomatoes.
