What is the vertex of the function?

Mathematics

Romashka [77]3 years ago

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).

16.437 rounded to the neatest tenth is 16.4 true or false
Ainat [17]
Answer=True

When rounding 16.437 to the nearest tenth, we need to look to the hundreds place.

16.437

The number 3 is in the hundreds place

The rules of rounding are:

If the number is 5 or greater, then you round up.

If the number is 4 or less, Then you round down.

Since 3 is less than 4, we would round down. So...

16.437 becomes 16.4

Flauer [41]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute first

2(-4x+3)

-8x+6

-8x+6+3x+3=-16

combine like terms

then get the variable alone

-5x+9=-16

-9. -9

<u>-5x</u><u>=</u><u>-25</u>

-5. -5

x=5
