The zeros of a quadratic function are 2 and 4 what is the vertex of the function

1 answer:

3 0

The x-coordinate of the vertex is precisely halfway between the given roots 2 and 4; thus, x = (2+4)/2, or x=3. The y-coordinate is the value of the function at this x=3.

We can actually determine the equation of this quadratic from the zeros:

f(x) = (x-2)(x-4), or f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 8. To find the y-coord. of the vertex,, subst. 3 for x in f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 8: f(3) = 3^2 - 6(3) + 8 = 9 - 18 + 8, or -1. Then we know that the vertex is at (3, -1).

For this case we have a function of the form:
$y = A * (b) ^ x
$
Where,
A: initial amount
b: decrease rate
x: time in days
Substituting values we have:
$y = 40 * (0.85) ^ x
$
Therefore, the graph of the function is a decreasing exponential function in the first quadrant and that has an initial value of 40.
Answer:
graph of exponential function going from left to right in quadrant 1 through the point 0, 40 and approaching the x axis

Find the value of x that makes m\ \n.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles are supplementary so you'd set up an equation like 3x -15 +150 = 180 then solve for x from there.
