Answer:
If the absolute value expression is not equal to zero, the expression inside an absolute value can be either positive or negative. So, there can be at most two solutions. Looking at this graphically, an absolute value graph can intersect a horizontal line at most two times.
Answer:
nth term--n+3
Step-by-step explanation:
numbers increase by add three each time
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. −16x2 + 24x + 16 = 0
-8(2x2 - 3x - 2) = 0
-8(2x + 1 )(x - 2) = 0
x = -0.5, 2.
So the x-intercepts are (-0/5, 0) and (2, 0).
B. As the leading coefficients is negative (-16) the vertex of the graph will be a Maximum.
To find its coordinates we convert the function to vertex form:
f(x) = −16x2 + 24x + 16
= -16(x^2 - 1.5x) + 16
Completing the square on contents of the parentheses:
= -16 [(x - 0.75)^2 - 0.75^2] + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 - 16 * -0.75^2 + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 9 + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 25.
So the coordinates of the vertex are (0.75, 25)
