Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros are x = - 1 and x = 3 then the factors are

(x + 1) and (x - 3) and the parabola is the product of the factors, that is

y = a(x + 1)(x - 3) ← where a is a multiplier

To find a substitute (0, - 9) into the equation

- 9 = a(0 + 1)(0 - 3) = a(1)(- 3) = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )

3 = a, thus

y = 3(x + 1)(x - 3) ← expand the factors using FOIL

  = 3(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute by 3

  = 3x² - 6x - 9 → A

Let g(x)=-5x+2. Evaluate g(-2)
Sav [38]
G(x) = -5x + 2.....g(-2)...basically means sub in -2 for x
g(-2) = -5(-2) + 2
g(-2) = 10 + 2
g(-2) = 12 <===

Answer:

m∠3 = 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are equivalent in measure. Complement angles add up to 90°, so subtract 17° from 90° to get your answer.

What is the product of 8 and 90 what is the answer?
e-lub [12.9K]
The product of 8 and 90 is 720 because 0 x 8 is 0 and 9 x 8 is 72 so when you multiply the two together you get 720.

Indicate the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and (2, -5).
PtichkaEL [24]
Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:

m=(-5-1)/(2-4)

m=-6/-2

m=3

Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1  in this case:

3m=-1

m=-1/3

So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting.  The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:

mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:

mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)

mp=(6/2, -4/2)

mp=(3,-2)

So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:

-2=(-1/3)3+b

-2=-3/3+b

-2=-1+b

-1=b

So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...

y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P

y=(-x-3)/3
