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).

What is the value of the unknown number in the verbal description? 5 times the sum of 12 and a number is 80.

mixer [17]

"5 times a sum of 12 and a number is 80" translates to the next equasion:

5 x (12+a) = 80

Now we just have to solve it to find the value of a.
$5 \times (12 + a) = 80 \\ 60 \times 5a = 80 \\ 5a = 80 - 60 \\ 5a = 20 \\ a = 20 \div 5 \\ a = 4$
The unknown number is 4.
D is the right answer.
