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.

∠A=6x−18 ∘ start color #11accd, angle, A, end color #11accd, equals, start color #11accd, 6, x, minus, 18, degrees, end color #1
denpristay [2]

Using the properties of alternate angles, the value of x = 8 and ∠ A = 30

<h3>What are Alternate Angles?</h3>

A transversal that crosses two parallel lines produces alternate exterior angles. They form two pairs (four total angles) of alternate outside angles since they are situated "outside" the two parallel lines but on different sides of the transversal.

For the given question,

∠A=6x−18

∠B=14x+38

As, both parallel lines are intersected by a transversal,

the value of angle ∠A and ∠180 - B is same as they are alternate angles,

⇒ 6x−18 = 180 - 14x - 38

⇒ 6x + 14x = 142 + 18

⇒ 20x = 160

⇒ x = 8

∠A = 6x−18

⇒ ∠ A = 30
