Axis of symmetry is a line passing through the vertex which divides the curge into two parts such tha each part looks the same.
For y= x^{2} +3x-4, the 'x' part is squared and the coefficient of x^{2} is positive. Hence, the curve will be a parabola facing up which means that the axis of symmetry will be a vertical line. i.e. x = m.
Investigating, f(-1) == (-1)^{2} +3(-1)-4=1-3-4=-6
f(-1.5) = = (-1.5)^{2} +3(-1.5)-4=2.25-4.5-4=-6.25
f(-2) = = (-2)^{2} +3(-2)-4=4-6-4=-6
From these, the curve has a vertex at point (-1.5, -6)
Therefore the axis of symmetry is line x = -1.5 (i.e. the third option)

Find the exact value of the indicated trigonometric function of θ.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

cosθ = -√(35/36)

tanθ = -1/√35

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

(1/6)² + cos²θ = 1

1 - (1/6)² = cos²θ

35/36 = cos²θ

sec θ = 1/ cosθ

1/ secθ = cos θ

Because secθ < 0, 1/ secθ would also be < 0, so cos θ < 0

cosθ = -√(35/36)

tanθ = sinθ/cosθ = (1/6)/-√(35/36)

= (1/6) / -(√35/6)

= -1/√35

35 POINTS! PLEASE HELP MEEE!!! HURRY PLEASE IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

<h2>CYLINDER</h2>

Surface Area = 471.2 cm^2

<h2>TRIANGULAR PRISM</h2>

Surface Area = 60.75 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>CYLINDER</h2>

The surface area formula for a cylinder is π x diameter x (diameter / 2 + height), where (diameter / 2) is the radius of the base (d = 2 x r), so another way to write it is π x radius x 2 x (radius + height). ( π =3.14 )

FORMULA:

π x 5 x 2 x 15

WORK:

π x 5 = 15.7

15.7 x 2 = 31.4

31.4 x 15 = 471

<h2>TRIANGULAR PRISM</h2>

The surface area formula for a triangular prism is 2 * (height x base / 2) + length x width1 + length x width2 + length x base.

FORMULA:

2 x (2.5 x 1.5/2) + (6 x 4) + (6 x 4) + (6 x 1.5)

WORK:

(2.5 x 1.5) = 3.75/2 = 1.875

1.875 x 2 = 3.75

(6 x 4) = 24

(6 x 4) = 24

(6 x 1.5) = 9

3.75 + 24 + 24 + 9 = 60.75

Plz can you just answer c
Rasek [7]

Answer:

c. The mean is the same as the average. The average is (6 * 5 + 7 * 4 + 8 * 7 + 9 * 10 + 10 * 4) / (5 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 4) = 244 / 30 = 8.133.
