I’m pretty sure that it is 4
The answer would be m^2+3m+2=0 because the first “part” of the equation (x^2-5) is equal to m; in the equation it’s squared so it can be replaced by m^2. next, 3m is the same as 3(x^2+5) which is what you have when you see 3x^2+15. finally, you have to bring the -2 over from the other side so you have positive 2. hope this helps!
Vertex form formula: y = a(x-h)^2 +k, with vertex (h,k)
There are multiple ways to find the vertex. One way is to find the roots and then find the x value exactly in between them, because this parabola is symmetrical.
0 = (x - 3)(x + 2), so x = 3 and -2. The point directly in the middle is x = 1/2 = h
To find the y value of the vertex, plug in 1/2 to the equation.
(1/2)^2 - 2(1/2) + 5 = 4.25 = k
y = (x - 0.5)^2 + 4.25
I believe the answer will always be one.
Heres an example: 5/8 • 8/5 = 1
If Morgan is 15 years younger then Mrs.Santos and there combined age is 442 that means that Mrs.Santos is 221, and Morgan is 206.
