How to find the x-intercepts of a parabola from the vertex, (-1,-108) and the y intercept (0,-105)?

Answer:

* The x-intercepts are -7 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets revise the standard and general forms of the

 quadratic function which represented graphically by the parabola

- f(x) = a(x - h)² + k ⇒ standard form

- Where point (h , k) is the vertex of the parabola

- f(x) = ax² + bx + c ⇒ general form

- Where a, b, c are constant

- c is the y-intercept ⇒ means x = 0

- h = -b/2a

- k = f(h)

* Lets solve the problem

- We will find the equation of the parabola

∵ The vertex is (-1 , -108)

∴ h = -1 and k = -108

∵ y-intercept = -105

- Equate the two forms

∵ ax² + bx + c = a(x - h)² + k ⇒ solve the (   )²

∴ ax² + bx + c = a(x² - 2hx + h²) + k ⇒ open the bracket

∴ ax² + bx + c = ax² - 2ahx + ah² + k ⇒ by comparing the two sides

∴ c = ah² + k

- Substitute the value of c , h , k in it

∴ -105 = a(-1)² + -108

∴ -105 = a - 108 ⇒ add 108 to the both sides

∴ 3 = a

- Lets write the equation in the standard form

∴ y = 3(x - -1)² + -108

∴ y = 3(x + 1)² - 108

* To find the x-intercepts means the parabola intersects the x-axis,

  then put y = 0

∴ 3(x + 1)² - 108 = 0 ⇒ Add 108 to the both sides

∴ 3(x + 1)² = 108 ⇒ divide the both sides by 3

∴ (x + 1)² = 36 ⇒ take square root for both sides

∴ (x + 1) = ± 6

# x + 1 = 6  OR x + 1 = -6

∵ x + 1 = 6 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x = 5

∵ x + 1 = -6 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ x = -7

* The x-intercepts are -7 and 5

∴

Omas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola
Serga [27]

Answer:

Omas can buy 1 pound of walnuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can say that the total cost would be equal to the result of multiplying the price per pound of granola for the number of pounds of granola plus the result of multiplying the price per pound of walnuts for the number of pounds of walnuts, which would be:

Total cost=2x+6y, where

x is the number of pounds of granola

y is the number of pounds of walnuts

Now, you can replace the values on the formula and solve for y:

12=(2*3)+6y

12=6+6y

6=6y

y=1

According to this, the answer is that Omas can buy 1 pound of walnuts.
