What are the x intercepts of the quadratic function? Y=-x^2+2x-1

Mathematics
1 answer:
saw5 [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question the equation

y = -x² + 2x - 1

To find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y

0 = -x² + 2x - 1

To find value of x use quadratic equation

x = -b ± √b²-4ac / 2a

  here a = -1

           b = 2

           c = -1

x1 = -2 + √2²-4(-1)(-1) / 2(-1)

   = -2 + 0 / -2

   = -2 / -2

   = 1

x2 = -2 - √2²-4(-1)(-1) / 2(-1)

   = -2 - 0 / -2

   = -2 / -2

   = 1

Can someone explain how to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form using the "complete the square" method?
Arisa [49]

The required steps are explained below to convert the quadratic function into a perfect square.

<h3>What is the parabola?</h3>

It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.

Let the quadratic function be y = ax² + bx + c.

The first step is to take common the coefficient of x². We have

\rm y = a \left (x^2 + \dfrac{b}{a}x \right) + c

Add and subtract the half of the square the coefficient of x,

\rm y = a \left (x^2 + \dfrac{b}{a}x + \dfrac{b^2}{4a^2} \right) - a \times \dfrac{b^2}{4a^2} + c

Then we have

\rm y = a \left (x + \dfrac{b}{a} \right)^2 - \dfrac{b^2}{4a} + c

These are the required step to get the perfect square of the quadratic function.

More about the parabola link is given below.

HELP DUE IN 10 MINS!<br><br> x =??
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Secants ad Segments Theorem we can say;

(x + 7) (7) = (15 + 6) (6)

7x + 49 = (21) (6)

7x + 49 = 126

7x = 77

x = 11

Hope this helps!
