<span>5.1 </span> Find the Vertex of <span>y = x2-2x-15
</span>Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).<span>
</span>Each
parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its
vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for
example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.<span>
</span>Parabolas
can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground,
of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the
parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height
that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be
able to find the coordinates of the vertex.<span>
</span>For any parabola,<span>Ax2+Bx+C,</span>the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 1.0000 <span>
</span>Plugging into the parabola formula 1.0000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :<span>
</span><span> y = 1.0 * 1.00 * 1.00 - 2.0 * 1.00 - 15.0
</span> or <span> y = -16.000</span>
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
120 *.3 = 36
120-36 = 84
84*.3 = 25.2
84-25.2= 59.8
120*.6 = 72
120-72 = 48
59.8-48 = 10.8 C
Pick’s Theorem is used to find the areas of figures on lattices easily. The formula is:
A = (B)/2 + I - 1, where B is the number of points on the border of the shape, and I is the number of points inside the shape.
Here, there are 8 points on the outside of the shape, and there are 12 points inside the shape. So, we do:
8/2 + 12 - 1 = 4 + 12 - 1 = 15 units squared.
We can check by finding the areas of the non-shaded region and subtracting that area from the whole rectangle area of 4 * 10 = 40:
4 * 1 + (3 * 1)/2 + 1 * 9 + (3 * 1)/2 + (9 * 2)/2 = 25
40 - 25 = 15, so we’re right!
The answer is 15 units squared, or choice (B).
