First, we have to realize that this is factored form, so we have to put this in standard quadratic form using FOIL, which is a rule mandating how we multiply the numbers here. F stands for First, which means the first number inside the parentheses for both of them, then O means the first number in the first quantity(fancy word for parentheses) multiplied by the last number of the second quantity, and so forth. When you are done, you combine like terms
anyway, you end up with x²-12x-189, but you have to inverse all numbers because of the parentheses in front, so it becomes -x²+12x+189.
Now you can find the axis of symmetry uisng the equation -b=2a (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the standard quadratic form is a(x)²+b(x)+c already). So you do -12 / -2, which then becomes 6.
The axis of symmetry is 6
The answer is B because I did the math
Statistical questions: A, C, E, because they all talk about students, where B and D talk about adults and people in general. Frank just wants to know about students.
The direct answer to your question is: "No".
because in that equation, 'x' is not 120 or130.
Let's find out what 'x' actually is:
<u>3/5 x = 52</u>
Multiply each side by 5 : 3x = 260
Divide each side by 3 : <em> x = 86 and 2/3 </em>
