if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation
now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
Answer:
B) Inside the nucleus of an atom are protons and electrons.
Explanation:
Inside the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit (kind of?) away from the nucleus.
Given:
A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5.
To find:
The coordinates of that point.
Solution:
Section formula: If point divides a line segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are
A point divides a directed line segment from (-6, -3) to (5,8) into a ratio of 6 to 5. Using section formula, we get
Therefore, the coordinates of the required point are (0,3).
