Using the quadratic equation instead of calculus, you can find the x coordinate of the vertex as it will be the midpoint of the two x coordinates of the zeros...

x=(-3±√-27)/2

x=-1.5±√-6.75

That the second term is imaginary does not matter because we will add or subtract this value from -1.5, thus the midpoint of the zeros, the x coordinate of the vertex is -1.5.  And to find the value of y for the vertex we just find the value of y when x=-1.5

y(-1.5)=6.75

Since y>0, the vertex is above the x-axis.

Help me. The graph of a polynomial with unknown a is given. Write a polynomial
Xelga [282]

Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{7}{20}\left(x+2\right)^{2}\left(x-1\right).

Step-by-step explanation:

If a graph touches the x-axis at x=c, then (x-c) is a factor of function.

From the given graph it is clear that the graph of function intersect x-axis at x=1 and touch the x-axis at x=-2.

It means (x-1) and (x+2) are not factors of given function but power of (x+2) must be 2.

So, the required function is

f(x)=a(x+2)^2(x-1)    ...(1)

where, a is a constant.

From the given figure it is clear that the graph passes through the point (-4,-7). So, substitute x=-4 and f(x)=-7 in the above function.

-7=a(-4+2)^2(-4-1)

-7=a(-2)^2(-5)

-7=-20a

\dfrac{7}{20}=a

Substitute a=\dfrac{7}{20} in (1).

f(x)=\dfrac{7}{20}(x+2)^2(x-1)

Therefore, the required function is f(x)=\dfrac{7}{20}(x+2)^2(x-1).

the length of the rectangle is measured as 370mm correct to 2 significant figures.a) what is the upper bound for the length?the
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

a) 375

b) 7062.75 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

b) We need to find the shortest possible width and length to get the smallest possible area.

To get the boundaries for 19.4, we go on to the next significant figure (the hundredths) and ± 5 of them.

The boundaries are, therefore: 19.35 - 19.45

As for the length, we can see they've added 5 units as the measurement is correct to 2 sig' figures, which is the tens.

And so, if we do as we did before, we go to the next sig' figure (the units) and ± 5 of them, we get the boundaries to be 365 - 375.

Now, we just multiply the lower bounds of the length and width to get the minimal/lower-bound area:

365 * 19.35 = 7062.75 mm²
