Answer:
A. Find the maximum height of the acrobat.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) 1/4
2) 1 1/2
3) 9/5
4) 4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 - 3 = -9
12 - (-6) = 18
4 - 12 = -8
20 - 4 = 16
The first difference is -9. The third difference is -8.
Maybe the fifth difference is -7.
That makes the next term 13.
<span>3, -6, 12, 4, 20, 13</span>
The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
Given: <span>y = x^2 + 6x - 5. Then a = 1, b = 6 and c = -5.
The x-coord. of the vertex is given by x = -b / (2a), which here is x = -6 / (2*1) = -3.
Use the given formula </span><span>y = x^2 + 6x - 5 to find the value of y when x = -3:
y = (-3)^2 + 6(-3) - 5 = 9 - 18 - 5 = -14
Then the vertex is (-3, -14).</span>
