Consider the parabola given by the equation: f(x) = 4x² - 6x - 8 Find the following for this parabola: A) The vertex: Preview B)

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The vertex: $(\frac{3}{4},-\frac{41}{4} )$

The vertical intercept is: $y=-8$

The coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola are $(\frac{3+\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)$ and $(\frac{3-\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex of the parabola $4x^2-6x-8$ you need to:

1. Find the coefficients a, b, and c of the parabola equation

$a=4, b=-6, \:and \:c=-8$

2. You can apply this formula to find x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ , so

$x=-\frac{-6}{2\cdot 4}\\x=\frac{3}{4}$

3. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex you use the parabola equation and x-coordinate of the vertex ( $f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c$ )

$f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c\\f(\frac{3}{4})=4\cdot (\frac{3}{4})^2-6\cdot (\frac{3}{4})-8\\y=\frac{-41}{4}$

To find the vertical intercept you need to evaluate x = 0 into the parabola equation

$f(x)=4x^2-6x-8\\f(0)=4(0)^2-6\cdot 0-0\\f(0)=-8$

To find the coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola you need to solve the parabola by completing the square

$\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$x^2-6x-8+8=0+8$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$4x^2-6x=8$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4$

$\frac{4x^2-6x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}=2$

$\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2$

$x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=2+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}$

$\left(x-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

$x_1=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{4},\:x_2=\frac{-\sqrt{41}+3}{4}$

Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 blanket per d

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Since Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets and she crochets at a rate of 1/5 blanket per day, we can determine how many days she will need to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets following the next steps:

- Finding the number of days needed to crochet one (1) blanket:

\begin{gathered}1=\frac{1}{5}Crochet(Day)\\Crochet(Day)=5*1=5\end{gathered}

Crochet(Day)

Crochet(Day)=5∗1=5

So, she can crochet 1 blanket every 5 days.

- Finding the number of days needed to crochet three (3) blankets:

If she needs 5 days to crochet 1 blanket, to crochet 3 blankets she will need 15 days because:

\begin{gathered}DaysNeeded=\frac{NumberOfBlankets}{Rate}\\\\DaysNeeded=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{5}}=3*5=15\end{gathered}

DaysNeeded=

Rate

NumberOfBlankets

DaysNeeded=

=3∗5=15

- Writing the inequality

If she has 60 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets but she can complete it in 15 days, she can skip crocheting 45 days because:

AvailableDays=60-RequiredDaysAvailableDays=60−RequiredDays

AvailableDays=60-15=45DaysAvailableDays=60−15=45Days

So, the inequality will be:

s\leq 45s≤45

The inequality means that she can skip crocheting a maximum of 45 days since she needs 15 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets.

Have a nice day!

A student is given the rectangle and square. The student states that the two figures have the same perimeter. Is the student per

Karolina [17]

The student is correct. Due to the meaning of perimeter which is all sides added up to make a number total, it is possible for a square and a rectangle to have the same perimeter if the numbers add up.

ABC and EDC are straight lines. EA is parallel to DB. EC = 8.1 cm. DC = 5.4 cm. DB = 2.6 cm. (a) Work out the length of AE. cm (

harkovskaia [24]

By applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. $\mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\$

b. $\mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\$

See the image in the attachment for the referred diagram.

The two triangles, triangle AEC and triangle BDC are similar triangles.
Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of triangles AEC and BDC will be the same.

This implies that:

AC/BC = EC/DC = AE/DB

Given:

$EC = 8.1 $ cm\\\\DC = 5.4 $ cm\\\\DB = 2.6 cm\\\\AC = 6.15 $ cm$

a. Find the length of AE:

EC/DC = AE/DB

Plug in the values

$\frac{8.1}{5.4} = \frac{AE}{2.6}$

Cross multiply

$5.4 \times AE = 8.1 \times 2.6\\\\5.4 \times AE = 21.06$

Divide both sides by 5.4

$AE = \frac{21.06}{5.4} = 3.9 $ cm$

b. Find the length of AB:

$AB = AC - BC$

AC = 6.15 cm

To find BC, use AC/BC = EC/DC.

Plug in the values

$\frac{6.15}{BC} = \frac{8.1}{5.4}$

Cross multiply

$BC \times 8.1 = 6.15 \times 5.4\\\\BC = \frac{6.15 \times 5.4}{8.1} \\\\BC = 4.1$

Thus:

$AB = AC - BC$

Substitute

$AB = 6.15 - 4.1\\\\AB = 2.05 $ cm$

Therefore, by applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. $\mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\$

b. $\mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\$

Two brothers build a pyramid-shaped fort. If the fort is 8 feet wide at its base, what expression could be used to calculate the

melisa1 [442]

Answer: An expression for the height is: H = (3/64)V

To start with, we will assume that it is a square pyramid, meaning all the sides of the base are 8 feet wide.

Now, we need the formula for the volume of a square pyramid.

V = BH/3

We know the area of the base, it is 8 x 8 = 64, so we can input that.

V = 64H/3 We can multiply by 3/64 to find an expression for the height of the fort.

(3/64)V = H
