What is the vertex of the function?

Mathematics

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).

How much would $900 be worth after 13 years, if it were invested at 3% interest compounded continuously? (Use the formula below
liberstina [14]

Answer:

$351.00

Step-by-step explanation:


P is the principal amount, $900.00.

r is the interest rate, 3.00% per year, or in decimal form, 3.00/100=0.03.

t is the time involved, 13....year time periods.

So, t is 13....year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 900 × 0.03 × 13 to get the the answer.

Cheers mate!
