A=1/2bh
b=8+h
A=384

384=1/2(bh)
times 2
768=bh
sub
768=b(8+b)
768=8b+b^2
minus 768 both sides
0=b^2+8b-768
factor
0=(b-24)(b+32)
set to zero
b-24=0
b=24

b+32=0
minus 32
b=-32
false, legnths cannot be negative

b=24
24=8+h
minus 8
16=h

base=24ft
altetude=16ft

1. Identify the y-intercept and the axis of symmetry for the graph of
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The correct option is C). 42,x=(-2)

Point (0,42) is y-intercept of f(x)

x+2=0 is equation of axis of symmetry

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x)=10x^{2} +40x+42

To find y-intercept:

The y-intercept is point were x=0

y=f(x)=10x^{2} +40x+42

y=f(0)=10(0)^{2} +40(0)+42

y=42

Therefore,Point (0,42) is y-intercept of f(x)

To find axis of symmetry of f(x):

We know that f(x) is equation of parabola

Hence, the x -coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is the equation of the axis of symmetry.

if the equation of parabola is f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c then, the axis of symmetry is given by x=-\frac{b}{2a}

Therefore, for f(x)=10x^{2} +40x+42

The axis of symmetry will be,

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

a=10 and b=40

x=-\frac{40}{2(10)}

x=-2

x+2=0 is equation of axis of symmetry

Thus,

The correct option is C). 42,x=(-2)

<em>Note: In figure, blue curve is f(x) and black line is axis of symmetry</em>
