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

Ulleksa [173]3 years ago

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

∴

To purchase $12,900 worth of machinery for her business, Melissa made a down payment of $2100 and took out a business loan for t
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) $13588.08

b) $688.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Melissa had to purchase $12,900 worth of machinery for her business.

She made a down payment of $2100 and after that made monthly payments of $478.67 for the business loan for the rest.

Given that after years of paying monthly payments of $478.67, she finally paid off the loan.

Assume that she took 2 years to repay the loan.

a) Therefore, the total amount Melissa ended up paying for the machinery was $[2100 + (478.67 × 24)] = $13588.08 (Answer)

b) Therefore, the amount of interest that Melissa pay on the loan is $(13588.08 - 12900) =$688.08. (Answer)

WHUR Radio uses 1/5 of its of its 10 hours of daytime broadcast for commercial and 1/2 for music. How much is left for news?
Nataly [62]

Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that WHUR Radio uses 1/5 of its of its 10 hours of daytime broadcast for commercial and 1/2 for music.

Hours used for commercial:

= 1/5 × 10

= 2 hours

Hours used for music:

= 1/2 × 10

= 5 hours

Hours left for news will be:

= 10 hours - 2 hours - 5 hours

= 3 hours

Choose the option that best answers the question. Paracelsus University has two kinds of professors: academic professors and pro
NARA [144]

Answer:

percentage of professional professor are 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

academic professors A = 60%

professors  tenured P = 70%

professors at Paracelsus University = 90%

to find out

what percent of the professional professors

solution

we know 90% of the professors are academic professors or tenured or both so we can say percent of academic professors = 60 + 70 - 90 = 40

because here

total = A + P - both

90 = 60 + 70 - both

both = 40

so professors  tenured will be here 70 - 40 = 30

so

percentage of professional professor are = 30 / 40 × 100

percentage of professional professor are 75

Answer:

Pattern B

<h3> Explain:  </h3>

A quadratic relationship is characterized by constant second differences.

<em><u>Pattern A </u></em>

Sequence: 0, 2, 4, 6

First Differences: 2, 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 1st-degree (linear, arithmetic) sequence

__________________________________________________________

<em><u>Pattern B</u></em>

Sequence: 1, 2, 5, 10

First Differences: 1, 3, 5

Second Differences: 2, 2 . . . . constant indicates a 2nd-degree (quadratic) sequence

__________________________________________________________

<em><u>Pattern C</u></em>

Sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27

First Differences: 2, 6, 18

Second Differences: 4, 12 . . . . each set of differences has a common ratio, indicating an exponential (geometric) sequence

__________________________________________________________

Pattern B shows a geometric relationship between step number and dot count.

C. Ben and Michael also participated in the long jump. Michael jumped 334 thousandths of a meter less than Kevin. Ben jumped far
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Micheal = Kevin - 334mm

Kevin > Ben > Micheal

so you add smthing less than 334mm to Micheal's distance that is not a negative number
