Find the vertex of the given quadratic function.

Answer: Choice B. The vertex is (6,-4)

=======================================================

Work Shown:

Step 1 is to expand out (x-8)(x-4) using the FOIL rule or the box method or the distribution rule

(x-8)(x-4) = x(x-4)-8(x-4)

(x-8)(x-4) = x*x+x*(-4)-8*x-8*(-4)

(x-8)(x-4) = x^2-4x-8x+32

(x-8)(x-4) = x^2-12x+32

So (x-8)(x-4) turns into x^2-12x+32

x^2-12x+32 is the same as 1x^2+(-12x)+32 which is in the form ax^2+bx+c. We see that a = 1, b = -12, c = 32

-----------------

Use the values of a & b to find the value of h, which is the x coordinate of the vertex

h = -b/(2*a)

h = -(-12)/(2*1)

h = 12/2

h = 6

Then this is plugged back into the original function to find the y coordinate of the vertex. We can use either (x-8)(x-4) or x^2-12x+32 since they are equivalent expressions

k = y coordinate of vertex

k = f(h) = f(6) since h = 6

f(x) = (x-8)(x-4)

f(6) = (6-8)(6-4)

f(6) = (-2)(2)

f(6) = -4

note that

f(x) = x^2-12x+32

f(6) = (6)^2-12(6)+32

f(6) = 36-72+32

f(6) = -36+32

f(6) = -4

So we get the same result using either expression

So k = f(h) = f(6) = -4

Since h = 6 and k = -4, the vertex is (h,k) = (6,-4). So that's why the answer is choice B.

WHICH IS A TRUE STATEMENT BASED ON THE DOT PLOTS BELOW 10 POINTS
Nata [24]

Answer:

C. Set B has the greater range.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start out with listing out each set of data in a way that makes it easier to work with.

Set A:

20,20,30,30,40,40,40,40,40,50,50,60,60,60

Set B:

10,10,20,20,20,30,30,30,30,40,50,50,60

We can start by trying to eliminate answer options; starting with D.

To get the mean of a set of data, we need to add all numbers in the data set and then divide by the number of dots on the plot.

For Set B: 10+10+20+20+20+20+30+30+30+30+40+50+50+60=420 then divide by number of dots (14) 420/14=30 The mean of Set B is equal to 30.

Solve the mean for Set A to compare. The mean is 41. D is not true so we can eliminate this answer choice.

We can look at the median of both sets so that we can eliminate answer choice B. The median is the middle most point in the set of data.

Set A median: 40

Set B median: 30

We can eliminate B because it does not have the greater median.

On to option C: range.

To find the range of each data set, we subtract the smallest number from the biggest number.

Set A: 60-20=40

Set B: 60-10= 50

Set B does in fact have a greater range than Set A. Answer choice C is the correct option.

What is the solution to the inequality shown below?
lesantik [10]

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get the variable "p" by itself in the inequality:

5p + 26 < 72           Subtract 26 on both sides

5p + 26 - 26 < 72 - 26

5p < 46      Divide 5 on both sides to get "p" by itself

\frac{5p}{5}

p

p < 9.2       Your answer is A
