6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is the turning point of the parabola.

First find the zeros by equating y to zero, that is

(x - 6)(x + 12) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 12 = 0 ⇒ x = - 12

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is situated at the midpoint of the zeros, thus

$x_{vertex}$ = $\frac{6-12}{2}$ = $\frac{-6}{2}$ = - 3

Thus the x- coordinate of the vertex is x = - 3 → B

Stells [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of scoops of oatmeal he will need for the recipe is:

21 scoops.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Beaus recipe for granola bars calls for 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal.

i.e. the cups of oatmeal required is:

$3\dfrac{1}{2}\ cups=\dfrac{3\times 2+1}{2}\ cups$

i.e.

$\dfrac{7}{2}\ \text{cups\ of\ oatmeal\ is\ required}$

Also, he has:

$\dfrac{1}{6}\ \text{cup scoop}$

This means that:

$\text{Number of scoops of oatmeal he need}=\dfrac{\text{Number of cups of oatmeal}}{\text{Number of cup scoop he has}}\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Number of scoops of oatmeal he need}=\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{6}}\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Number of scoops of oatmeal he need}=\dfrac{7\times 6}{1\times 2}\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Number of scoops of oatmeal he need}=21\ \text{scoops}$
