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).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle\\\sum\limits _{k=0}^n\frac{n!}{k!*(n-k)!}a^{n-k}b^k .\\\\k=0\\\frac{n!}{0!*(n-0)!}a^{n-0}b^0=C_n^0a^n*1=C_n^0a^n.\\\\ k=1\\\frac{n!}{1!*(n-1)!} a^{n-1}b^1=C_n^1a^{n-1}b^1.\\\\k=2\\\frac{n!}{2!*(n-2)!} a^{n-2}b^2=C_n^2a^{n-2}b^2.\\\\k=n\\\frac{n!}{n!*(n-n)!} a^{n-n}b^n=C_n^na^0b^n=C_n^nb^n.\\\\C_n^0a^n+C_n^1a^{n-1}b^1+C_n^2a^{n-2}b^2+...+C_n^nb^n=(a+b)^n.

\displaystyle\\(2x+2)^6=\frac{6!}{(6-0)!*0!} (2x)^62^0+\frac{6!}{(6-1)!*1!} (2x)^{6-1}2^1+\frac{6!}{(6-2)!*2!}(2x)^{6-2}2^2+\\\\ +\frac{6!}{(6-3)!*3!} (2a)^{6-3}2^3+\frac{6!}{(6-4)*4!} (2x)^{6-4}b^4+\frac{6!}{(6-5)!*5!}(2x)^{6-5} b^5+\frac{6!}{(6-6)!*6!}(2x)^{6-6}b^6. \\\\

(2x+2)^6=\frac{6!}{6!*1} 2^6*x^6*1+\frac{5!*6}{5!*1}2^5*x^5*2+\\\\+\frac{4!*5*6}{4!*1*2}2^4*x^4*2^2+  \frac{3!*4*5*6}{3!*1*2*3} 2^3*x^3*2^3+\frac{4!*5*6}{2!*4!}2^2*x^2*2^4+\\\\+\frac{5!*6}{1!*5!} 2^1*x^1*2^5+\frac{6!}{0!*6!} x^02^6\\\\(2x+2)^6=64x^6+384x^5+960x^4+1280x^3+960x^2+384x+64.

How do you get the average of something
kogti [31]
The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.
