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

∴

Jasper made a flag for his football team. He painted 1/2 of the flag blue and 1/2 of the flag yellow. He added stars to 1/3 of t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

For this case we have that half of the flag was painted blue and the other half yellow.

In addition, a third of the blue half was covered with stars.

So:

\frac {1} {2} * \frac {1} {3} = \frac {1} {6}

A sixth of the flag is blue with stars.

Answer:

\frac {1} {6}

I need help with this one
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

112.98 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's work backwards:

Circumference = 2πr

(37.68)/2π = r

Area = πr^{2}

Area = π * ((37.68)/2pi)^{2}

Area = 112.983 square units

Find the volume of a cylinder if it is 2 feet tall and has a diameter of 1.5. Use 3.14 for pi.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

3.5325

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 3.14*(.75^2)(2)

You divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius which is 1.5/2 =.75

r=.75

h=2

and you use the equation for volume of cylinder which is V = pi x radius squared x height
