Each as a fraction 42/100 35/100 18/100 100/100
I really need one too. Thanks for the question.
The x coordinate of the vertex will be the average of the two zeros, here -3 and 5, so x=(-3+5)/2 = 1, f(1)=(1+3)(1-5) = -16.
Answer: (1, -16)
Let's do it some other ways. How about completing the square to turn f in to vertex form?
f(x) = (x+3)(x-5) = x² - 2x - 15 = (x² - 2x + 1) - 1 - 15 = (x-1)² - 16
and now we can read off (1, -16) as the vertex.
The other method is the vertex is x= - b/2a = - (-2)/2(1) = 1.
Three methods, same answer. Good.
Answer:
x is 30/7
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to isolate x.
First, solve 5 * 6/7. The answer is 30/7.
Next, divide both sides by 6/7. This will cancel out the 6/7 on the left . For the right, when dividing fractions, you must take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply by it. So instead of having 30/7 divided by 6/7, you will have 30/7 * 7/6. The answer is 210/45 which simplifies to 5.
Third, you want to divide both sides by 7/6. Again the 7/6 on the left will be cancelled out. And you must do 5 * 6/7. In order to make the 5 look like a fraction to reduce confusion, you can set it over 1 (thus, you would do 5/1 * 6/7). The answer is 30/7.
You can plug it back into the equation to check.
