C. The graph would run the line of symmetry through at 1.5, and the vertex would be at (3/2,7/2).

Short Answer: C
Remark

The first thing you really ought to do is get a graph from one of the graphing programs on the internet. Most of the time, I use Desmos. That will give you the answer. I will put the graph at the bottom of the page.

The second thing you could do is just set up the given points to see which one gives you the answer.

The third thing (and I'll do this one) is to actually solve the problem by completing the square.

Givens
a = -2
b = 6
c = -1

Solution
Put brackets around the first two terms.
y = (- 2x^2 + 6x ) - 1                               Take out the common factor of - 2
y = -2(x^2 - 3x ) - 1                                 Complete the square inside the brackets.

y = -2(x^2 - 3x + (3/2)^2 ) - 1                  Add what it took to complete the square after the - 1

y = -2(x^2 - 3x + (3/2)^2 ) - 1 + 2(3/2)^2 * See remark at end to see why its +
y = -2(x^2 - 3x + 9/4) - 1 + 2 * (9/4)
y = -2(x^2 - 3x + 9/4) - 1 + 18/4
y = -2(x^2 - 3x + 9/4) + 14/4         Show the brackets in square form.
y = -2(x - 3/2)^2 + 14/4  but 3/2 =1.5 and 14/4 = 3.5
y = -2(x - 1.5)^2 + 3.5

The axis of symmetry is x = 1.5  The vertex is (1.5, 3.5)

Discussion
You may wonder why you are adding 18/4 outside the brackets when you are completing the square and all you have inside the brackets is 9/4.

The reason is because first of all there is a - 2 outside the brackets. That gets you 18/4. Because you have got a minus 2, you have to compensate the result so that you get 0. The only way to do that is to add 18/4.

The odds against Carl beating his friend in a round of golf are 9:7. Find the probability that Carl will lose?
grandymaker [24]

The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

  • Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
  • Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Answer: Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Find the value of the variable and YZ if Y is between X and Z. XY= 11, YZ=4c, XZ=83
svet-max [94.6K]
So you know the whole line is XZ which is 83.Then you find out it is in two parts so that is XY and YZ which are 11 and 4c. You can make the equation:

11+4c=83
4c=72
c=18

c=18 and YZ=72
