Answer:

The vertex is (0, -5) and the axis of symmetry is x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the axis of symmetry, we look for the x value of the vertex. We can find this using the equation -b/2a, in which a is equal to the coefficient of the x^2 term and b is the coefficient of the x term.

x = -b/2a

x = 0/2(1)

x = 0/2

x = 0

So the axis of symmetry is 0 as is the x value of the vertex. Now we can find the y value by plugging in the x value into the equation.

f(x) = x^2 - 5

f(x) = 0^2 - 5

f(x) = 0 -5

f(x) = -5

This gives us a vertex of (0,-5)

. Find the inverse of the function below on the given interval and write it in the form yequalsf Superscript negative 1 Baseline

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The inverse of the function is $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The function provided is:

$f (x)=3x+5$

Let $f(x)=y$ .

Then the value of <em>x</em> is:

$y=3x+5\\\\3x=y-5\\\\x=\frac{y-5}{3}$

For the inverse of the function, $x\rightarrow y$ .

⇒ $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-5}{3}$

Compute the value of $f[f^{-1}(x)]$ as follows:

$f[f^{-1}(x)]=f[\frac{x-5}{3}]$

$=3[\frac{x-5}{3}]+5\\\\=x-5+5\\\\=x$

Hence proved that $f[f^{-1}(x)]=x$ .

Compute the value of $f^{-1}[f(x)]$ as follows:

$f^{-1}[f(x)]=f^{-1}[3x+5]$

$=\frac{(3x+5)-5}{3}\\\\=\frac{3x+5-5}{3}\\\\=x$

Hence proved that $f^{-1}[f(x)]=x$ .

The regular price of an aquarium is $70 and the sale price is $60. what is the percent of discount? (percent of change!!)

Naddik [55]

Let's take the difference between the old and new (70 - 60) to get 10 and then divide this by the old (70) amount...10/70 = .142857 convert to a percent by moving the decimal 2 spaces to the right... 14.29 %

Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Check all that apply.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 2 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is an equilateral triangle. All the sides of an equilateral triangle are same. All interior angles are equal with measure 60 degree.

The distance from the center of an equilateral triangle to the midpoint of a side is known as apothem. In the given figure letter a represents the apothem.

Point D is the midpoint of BC,

$b=\frac{BC}{2}=\frac{8.7}{2}=4.35$
