A quadratic in vertex form reads as
(<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>)² + <em>b</em>
where (<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>) is the vertex.
To get the given quadratic in this form, complete the square:
<em>x</em>² - 6<em>x</em> - 40 = <em>x</em>² - 6<em>x</em> + 9 - 49 = (<em>x</em> - 3)² - 49
Or, work backwards by expanding the vertex form and solving for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> :
(<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>)² + <em>b</em> = <em>x</em>² - 2<em>ax</em> + <em>a</em>² + <em>b</em>
So if
<em>x</em>² - 6<em>x</em> - 40 = <em>x</em>² - 2<em>ax</em> + <em>a</em>² + <em>b</em>,
then
-2<em>a</em> = -6 → <em>a</em> = 3
<em>a</em>² + <em>b</em> = -40 → <em>b</em> = -49
Answer:
30x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute 6 into (2x+1) and 3 into (6x+2) basically multiply
12x+6+18x+6
combine like terms
12x+18x=30x
6+6=18
hope this helps
Answer:
39.75
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract 50 from both sides
200z + 50 - 50 = 8000 - 50
200z = 7950
Then isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 200
200z/200 = 7950/200
z=39.75
If the parabola line crosses the x-axis twice, then it has two solutions, or the maximum/minimum of it is a point on the x-axis that means it has two solutions as a double root.
