Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving all terms of the quadratic to one side, we have
.
A quadratic has one real solution when the discriminant is equal to 0. In a quadratic
, the discriminant is
.
(The discriminant is more commonly known as
, but I changed the variable since we already have a
in the quadratic given.)
In the quadratic above, we have
,
, and
. Plugging this into the formula for the discriminant, we have
.
Using the distributive property to expand and simplifying, the expression becomes

Setting the discriminant equal to 0 gives
.
We can then solve the equation as usual: first, divide by 2 on both sides:
.
Squaring both sides gives
,
and subtracting 5 from both sides, we have

Doing (7x÷7) I think equals 1
Part A :
So the two sides are equivalent,

Solve for x and get 3.
~~
Answer : x = 3
~~
Part B :
To find JM, simply substitute x for 3 and solve,


~^
Answer : JM = 9

7) Vertex = V(2,3)
9) Vertex = V(2,1)
17) The smaller the absolute value of the coefficient of x², the larger is the opening of the parabola. (to compare, just take the absolute value of a)
Coefficients are (5), (-3) and (1):
Widest: f(x) =x², followed by f(x) = -3x² and the narrowest is f(x) =5x².
