Answer:
The vertex is at (-3/2, 33/4)
x=-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y= -x^2 -3x+6
Factor out a negative from the first two terms
y = -(x^2 +3x) +6
Complete the square
Take 3 /2 and square it (3/2)^2 = 9/4
The - on the outside of the parentheses means we really are subtracting it so we need to add it on the outside
y = -(x^2 + 3x + 9/4) +9/4 +6
= -(x+3/2)^2 + 9/4 +6
Get a common denominator of 4
= -(x+3/2)^2 + 9/4 +6*4/4
y =- (x+3/2)^2 + 9/4 +24/4
y = -(x+3/2)^2 + 33/4
y = a(x-h)^2 +k where (h,k) is the vertex
y = -(x - -3/2)^2 + 33/4
The vertex is at (-3/2, 33/4)
The axis of symmetry is at the x coordinate of the vertex
x=-3/2
Subtract c^2 from a^2+b^2, on the left.
Next, enclose your result inside parentheses.
Next, place a " - " sign in front of this last expression.
This result is the value of 2abcos C.
Answer:
Earthworms play an important role in breaking down dead organic matter known as decomposition. They break it down into smaller pieces allowing bacteria and fungi to feed on it and release the nutrients.
