Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
(x + 4)² + (y + 6)² = 16 is in this form
with r² = 16 ⇒ r = = 4
---------------------------------------------------------------
given (h, k) = (5, 2) and r = 20, then
(x - 5)² + (y - 2)² = 400 ← represents the delivery area
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
The zeros are x = 1 and x = 5, thus the factors are (x - 1) and (x - 5)
f(x) = a(x - 1)(x - 5)
To find a substitute (0, 15), the coordinates of the y- intercept into the equation.
15 = a(0 - 1)(0 - 5) = a(- 1)(- 5) = 5a ( divide both sides by 5)
a = 3
Thus h = 1, k = 5, a = 3 and
f(x) = 3(x - 1)(x - 5)
(b)
The axis of symmetry is a vertical line with equation x = c ( c is a constant )
The axis of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the zeros
x = =
= 3
Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 3
(c)
The axis of symmetry passes through P, with x- coordinate x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into the function for corresponding value of y
f(3) = 3(3 - 1)(3 - 5) = 3(2)(- 2) = - 12
Coordinates of P = (3, - 12 )
