X^2+x-12=0 factors out into (x+4)(x-3) so the answer is: x=-4, x=3
Answer:
x = - 3 ± √27 or if you want it in decimal form correct to nearest hundredth:
x = -8.20, 2.20.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 6x - 18 = 0
this will not factor so we use completing the square:
x^2 + 6x = (x + 3)^2 - 9 so:
(x + 3)^2 - 9 - 18 = 0
(x + 3)^2 = 27
x+ 3 = ±√27
x = - 3 ± √27
Havent done this in years but i think it would just be 12
Vertex aka max or min point is found by -b/2a in form
f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
f(x)=-1x^2+8x+20
vertex x value is -8/(2)(-1)=-8/-2=4
input back to find y value
f(4)=-(4^2)+8*4+20
f(4)=-16+32+20
f(4)=36
max (since the graph opens down) is (4,36)
axis of symmetry is the x coordinate
max is (4,36)
axis of symmetrry is x=4
