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).

If Log 20 = 1.301 what is the value of Logsub100 20?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$log_{100}20 = 0.6505$

Step-by-step explanation:

log20 = 1.301 (when you see only "log" with no base, it is taken as a base 10)

This basically means:

$10^{1.301} = 20$ (This is the log in exponential form)

Since we don't know what $log_{100}20$ is equal to, we will say $log_{100}20$ = x

So to solve for $log_{100}20$ = x, you do the same thing. (convert to exponential form)

$100^{x} =20$

Now you will notice that both of these equations are equal to 20.

Since 20 = 20,

we can say $100^{x}$ = $10^{1.301}$

Another way of saying 100, is $10^{2}$ (make the bases the same)

Now we get $10^{2x} = 10^{1.301}$

(we get 2x because an exponent to the power of an exponent ( $2^{x}$ ) is the same as 2 * x)

Because you have the same base, you can just ignore the 10s and focus on the exponents. So you get:

2x = 1.301

x = 0.6505

NO LINKS!!! 14. Consider the table

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

(a) rate of change = 8

(b) Function: y = 8x

Range: 0 ≤ y ≤ 16

Explanation:

Looks like a inverse variation sequence.

Inverse Variation formula: y = k(x)

Take two points: (1, 8), (2, 16)

Find the value of k which is constant also considered as rate of change.

Insert values:

8 = k(1)

k = 8

===========

16 = k(2)

k = 8

Equation: y = 8x

Domain lies in the x axis, Range lies in the y axis.

Here domain: 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

Here range: 0 ≤ y ≤ 16

I need help with this! Quick ASAP?

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) F

b) B, E, D

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The segment with the greatest gradient has the largest change in y-values per unit change in x-values

From the given option, the rate of change of the y to the x-values of B = the gradient = (4 units)/(2 units) = 2

The gradient of F = (-3units)/(1 unit) = -3

The gradient of A = 4/4 = 1

The gradient of C = -2/5

The gradient of D = 2/6 = 1/3

The gradient of E = 3/4

The segment with the greatest gradient is F

b) The steepest segment has the higher gradient

From their calculated we have;

The gradient of segment B = 2 therefore, B is steeper than E that has a gradient of 3/4, and E is steeper than D, as the gradient of D = 1/3

Therefore, we have;

B, E, D.
