Answer:

The vertex: (\frac{3}{4},-\frac{41}{4} )

The vertical intercept is: y=-8

The coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola are (\frac{3+\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0) and (\frac{3-\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex of the parabola 4x^2-6x-8 you need to:

1. Find the coefficients <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c </em>of the parabola equation

<em>a=4, b=-6, \:and \:c=-8</em>

2. You can apply this formula to find x-coordinate of the vertex

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

x=-\frac{-6}{2\cdot 4}\\x=\frac{3}{4}

3. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex you use the parabola equation and x-coordinate of the vertex (f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c)

f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c\\f(\frac{3}{4})=4\cdot (\frac{3}{4})^2-6\cdot (\frac{3}{4})-8\\y=\frac{-41}{4}

To find the vertical intercept you need to evaluate x = 0 into the parabola equation

f(x)=4x^2-6x-8\\f(0)=4(0)^2-6\cdot 0-0\\f(0)=-8

To find the coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola you need to solve the parabola by completing the square

\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}

x^2-6x-8+8=0+8

\mathrm{Simplify}

4x^2-6x=8

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4

\frac{4x^2-6x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}=2

\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2

x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=2+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}

\left(x-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}

\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}

x_1=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{4},\:x_2=\frac{-\sqrt{41}+3}{4}

Distrivute 0.2 to x and +50 and you get 0.2x+10-6  now for the other side we do the same and we get 1.2x+8 or an easier way...  Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span><span><span>0.2<span>(<span>x+50</span>)</span></span>−6</span>=<span>0.4<span>(<span><span>3x</span>+20</span>)</span></span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span><span><span>0.2x</span>+4</span>=<span><span>1.2x</span>+8</span></span>Step 2: Subtract 1.2x from both sides.<span><span><span><span>0.2x</span>+4</span>−<span>1.2x</span></span>=<span><span><span>1.2x</span>+8</span>−<span>1.2x</span></span></span><span><span><span>−x</span>+4</span>=8</span>Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>−x</span>+4</span>−4</span>=<span>8−4                </span></span><span><span>−x</span>=<span>4  now you divide by negative x (technically it is -1x=4 so your answer is x=-4</span></span>

Find the value of x then classify the triangle by its angles
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + 60 = 180.

first, we add the x's together.

4x + 60 = 180

then we see if they all have a common multiple. in this case, they do. they are all divisible by 4, so we can use that.

x + 15 = 45

then, just subtract 15 from both sides, that way we get the variable by itself.

x = 30

also, it is a right triangle. the top angle (3x) multiplied by 3 is 90. any triangle that has a 90 degree angle is automatically a right triangle.
