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

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).

amid [387]

Answer:

<em>$1.26</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

So you just have to find 2.25% of 56.

To find a certain percentage of something, you multiply it. Let's write out a sentence explaining what you need to do. You have to find:

2.25% of 56

Whenever you've got a sentence like this, all you've got to do is change the word "of" to a multiplication symbol. And now you've got an expression:

2.25% × 56

Let's convert the percentage to a decimal. To do this, you simply remove the percent symbol, then move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

2.25% = 0.0225

And now you have:

0.0225 × 56

Then you just do the math! I am assuming you already know how to do decimal multiplication so I'm not going to explain the process here.

But once you multiply 0.0225 × 56, you get an answer: 1.26

Hope this was helpful to you, and don't forget to choose the Brainliest answer!
