Y = x^2+ 7x - 5 can be written in the form y = (x + a)^2+b

Mathematics
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex

Given y = x² + 7x - 5

To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

y = x² + 2( \frac{7}{2} )x +\frac{49}{4} - \frac{49}{4} - 5

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{49}{4} - \frac{20}{4}

y = (x + \frac{7}{2} )² - \frac{69}{4}

Hence

a = \frac{7}{2} and b = - \frac{69}{4}

Compare the line passing through the points (–2, –9) and (4, 6) to the line given by the equation y = 25x – 4.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

D. They have the same y-intercep

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the comparison will be efficient, let's determine the equation of the two points and the x intercept .

(–2, –9) and (4, 6)

Gradient= (6--9)/(4--2)

Gradient= (6+9)/(4+2)

Gradient= 15/6

Gradient= 5/2

Choosing (–2, –9)

The equation of the line

(Y+9)= 5/2(x+2)

2(y+9)= 5(x+2)

2y +18 = 5x +10

2y =5x -8

Y= 5/2x -4

Choosing (4, 6)

The equation of line

(Y-6)= 5/2(x-4)

2(y-6) = 5(x-4)

2y -12 = 5x -20

2y = 5x-8

Y= 5/2x -4

From the above solution it's clear that the only thing the both equation have in common to the given equation is -4 which is the y intercept
