When written in "vertex form":
• (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola, and x = h is the axis of symmetry.
• the h represents a horizontal shift (how far left, or right, the graph has shifted from x = 0).
• the k represents a vertical shift (how far up, or down, the graph has shifted from y = 0).
• notice that the h value is subtracted in this form, and that the k value is added.
If the equation is y = 2(x - 1)2 + 5, the value of h is 1, and k is 5.
If the equation is y = 3(x + 4)2 - 6, the value of h is -4, and k is -6.
Overestimate because the answer is 1.61
Domain restrictions are what x values make the denominator zero.
a² + 5a - 36 = (a + 9)(a - 4)
a ≠ -9 ; a ≠ 4
Answer:
Option 4, 64 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The polygon in the shape of a star can be made to be easier to find the area of by cutting it into triangle. For all the "point edges" of the star, we can cut them in half from the vertex to create two right-angled triangles at each edge.
The formula of the area of a triangle is bh/2: the height is given as 6cm, the base is 4cm /2 (after you cut it in half) and so is 2 cm. Since the edges can be cut into two, there are 8 right angled triangles at the edges in total.
To find the area of them:
A=8(bh/2)=8(2*6/2)=48 cm^2
However, we are still missing the part at the centre we haven't found the area of, the square. The area of a square is given by the square of the side length(4cm). Thus, A=4*4=16cm^2
Adding the areas of all the edges and the square:
48 + 16 = 64cm^2
Hence, the area of the polygon is 64cm^2
1/3 x - 1/2 = 18 1/2
1/3 x = 19 (add 1/2 on the right side to 18 1/2)
x = 57 (multiply the reciprocal of 1/3 and that will be 3/1 or 3 to 19 to get x by itself)
So, the answer is x = 57 (d. 57)
