Given the quadratic function : f(x)=x^24x-12<br> Find the vertex.<br> Can you show the steps?!?

vlada-n [284]

$\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}
\\\\
\begin{array}{llcccl}
\stackrel{f(x)}{y} = & 1x^2& +4x& -12\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}
\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}\quad ,\quad c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right)
\\\\\\
\left(-\cfrac{4}{2(1)}~~,~~-12-\cfrac{4^2}{4(1)} \right)\implies (-2~~,~~-12-4)\implies (-2~~,~~-16)$

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (4/5,1/5) and (1/2,3/2)?

Setler [38]

Answer:

$y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}(x-\frac{1}{2})$ point-slope form

$13x+3y=11$ (standard form)

Let me know if you prefer another form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ provided you are given two points on the line.

We are.

Now you can use that formula. But I really love to just line up the points vertically then subtract them vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(4/5 , 1/5)

-( 1/2 , 3/2)

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

3/10 -13/10

2nd/1st = $\frac{\frac{-13}{10}}{\frac{3}{10}}=\frac{-13}{3}$ is our slope.
