Answer:
- x = 37
- DG = 22
- AG = 44
- AD = 66
Step-by-step explanation:
We presume your "centroid ratio theorem" tells you that AG = 2·DG, so ...
(x+7) = 2(x -15)
x + 7 = 2x - 30 . . . . eliminate parentheses
37 = x . . . . . . . . . . .add 30-x
Then AG = 37+7 = 44
and DG = 37-15 = 22.
Of course, AD = AG +GD = 44 +22 = 66
The y-value of the vertex is positive 3, as shown by the +3 on the right hand side of the equation, and the x-value is -1, from the (x+1)^2 (remember, when the number is inside the brackets, flip the sign) The vertex would be (-1, 3)
If you are looking for a rigorous answer (calculus), we must find the mininum point of the equation: f(x) = (x+1)^2 + 3 f
f'(x) = 2(x+1) = 2x + 2
2x + 2 = 0
x = -1
f(1) = (-1 + 1)^2 + 3
f(1) = 0 + 3 = 3
(-1, 3)
The exponent indicates how many times the base is used as a factor.
