Graph y = x2 + 2. Identify the vertex of the graph. Tell whether it is a minimum or maximum

Vertex is -b/2a. The variable b=2 and a=2. That finds the x coordinate of the vertex. Then to find the y coordinate you just plug the number you got for x (-1/2) into the equation. Like so:
y = 2x+2
y = 2(-1/2)+2
y = -1+2
y = 1
So your vertex is ( -1/2, 1 )
To graph your vertex you take your x coordinate (-1/2) and find it on the x axis of the graph (horizontal line). Then do the same for y (1) (on the vertical axis.
Now that you have your vertex graphed you can find out if it is minimum or maximum by looking at the direction in which the slope is going. If it goes in the positive direction (up) then it is a minimum since that is the lowest point that the line touches. If it is maximum it is opposite. The line faces down and the highest point the line touches is that point.

8/7=x/5 what is the value of x round to the nearest tenth
faust18 [17]

Answer:

<h2>x = 5.7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{7}  =  \frac{x}{5}

To find x first cross multiply

We have

7x = 8 × 5

7x = 40

Divide both sides by 7

That's

\frac{7x}{7}  =  \frac{40}{7}

x =  \frac{40}{7}

x = 5.7142

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 5.7 to the nearest tenth</h3>

Hope this helps you

Please help!! Evaluate the piece wise function at x=-4 and x=4.
hodyreva [135]

x = -4, so use the first equation, x^2 = -4^2 = -16

x = 4, use 3rd equation, sqrt(x) = sqrt(4) = 2
