Answer:

  (4, -25)

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to answer this is to put the equation into vertex form.

  f(x)= x^2 -8x -9 . . . . . given

Add and subtract the square of half the x-coefficient:

  f(x) = x^2 -8x +(-8/2)^2 -9 -(-8/2)^2

  f(x) = x^2 -8x +16 -25

  f(x) = (x -4)^2 -25

Comparing this to the vertex form of a quadratic:

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k

we find that (h, k) = (4, -25). This is the vertex.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The line of symmetry for ...

  f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c

is given by x = -b/(2a). For your given quadratic that line is ...

  x = -(-8)/(2(1)) = 4

Evaluating f(4) gives the y-coordinate:

  f(4) = 4^2 -8·4 -9 = -25

The vertex is (x, y) = (4, -25).

Solve the equation. Graph the solution(s) if possible.<br><br> ∣x−3∣+4=9
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x=8

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

∣x−3∣+4=9

= ∣x−3∣=5

<u>Positive term: (x-3)</u>

  (x-3) = 5

Rearrange and Add up

  x = 8

<u>Negative term: -(x-3)</u>

Multiply

     -x+3 = 5  

Rearrange and Add up

     -x = 2  

Multiply both sides by (-1)

     x = -2
