What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x)=-(x-3)(x+11)

so, this is a quadratic equation, meaning two solutions, and we have a factored form of it, meaning you can get the solutions by simply zeroing out the f(x).

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-(x-3)(x+11)\implies 0=(x-3)(x+11)\implies x= \begin{cases} 3\\ -11 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-11}\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}-4\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{3}

so the zeros/solutions are at x = 3 and x = -11, now, bearing in mind the vertex will be half-way between those two, checking the number line, that midpoint will be at x = -4, so the vertex is right there, well, what's f(x) when x = -4?

\bf f(-4)=-(-4-3)(-4+11)\implies f(-4)=7(7)\implies f(-4)=49 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{vertex}{(-4~~,~~49)}~\hfill

Answer:

f(w) = $100 + $15*w

Step-by-step explanation:

The first $100 she deposited remain always the same, they don't change depending on the weeks. What increases along the weeks are the $15.

In the first week she will deposit $15, so she will have $100 + $15 = $115.

On the second week she will deposit $15 more, so she will have $115 + $15 = $130. Another way of writing this is $100 + $15 + $15 = $100 + $15*2.

On the third week she will have $100 + $15 + $15 + $15 = $100 + $15*3.

Therefore, after w weeks, she will have $100 + $15*w.

The function we are looking for is f(w) = $100 + $15*w

Why does: 5x+3x+2x = 10x and not 10xxx?
Helen [10]
Because you are not adding the x's .When you add the coefficients, the variable comes along with it.

What is the elimination method in math?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

In the elimination method you either add or subtract the equations to get an equation in one variable. When the coefficients of one variable are opposites you add the equations to eliminate a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

Hope this helps!
