Let us first define line of symmetry of parabola :

It is the line of symmetry of a parabola that divides a parabola into two equal halves that are reflections of each other about the line of symmetry. It intersects a parabola at its vertex. It is a vertical line with the equation of x = -b/2a.

So using the formula x=-b/2a, we can find the line of symmetry of parabola here.

We are given the equation:

x^{2} -10x+21 =0

If we compare it with the quadratic equation :

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

we get a=1, b=-10 and c=21

Now plugging the values of a and b in the formula x=-b/2a,

x= \frac{-b}{2a}

x= \frac{-(-10)}{2(1)}

x=5

So the line of symmetry of given parabola is given by x=5

Option D is correct answer.

Find all solutions to the equation.<br><br> cos2x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0
yanalaym [24]
For cos(2x) * (2cos(x) + 1) = 0, use the double angle identity for cos(2x), which is cos^2 x - sin^2 x = cos^2 x - (1-cos^2) = 2cos^2 x - 1.
So we have (2cos^2 x - 1)(2cos x + 1) = 0. So 2cos^2 x -1 = 0 or x = 0 and 2pi.
For 2sec^2 x + tan^2 x - 3 = 0, use the identity sec^2 x = tan^2 x + 1, so we have
2(tan^2 x + 1) + tan^2 x - 3 = 0 or
<span>2tan^2 x + tan^2 x - 1 = 0 or
</span>3 tan^2 x = 1.

So x = pi/2, pi/2 + pi = 3pi/2.

There are 25 popular trees currently in the park. Park workers will plant morepopular trees today. When the workers are finished
Vlada [557]

Current trees = 25

trees when workers are finished = 80

Subtract the number of current trees (25) to the number of trees that are when the workers are finished:

80-25 = 55

The workers planted 55 trees today
