Answer:

(5, - 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = (x - 8)(x - 2) ← in factored form

Find the zeros by equating f(x) to zero, that is

(x - 8)(x - 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is located at the midpoint of the zeros, hence

x_{vertex} = \frac{8+2}{2} = 5

Substitute x = 5 into f(x) for corresponding y- coordinate

f(5) = (5 - 8)(5 - 2) = (- 3)(3) = - 9

vertex = (5, - 9)

Answer: (5,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the multiplication indicated:

f(x) = x^2-2x-8x+16

Add the like terms:

f(x) = x^2-10x+16

Now find the x-coordinate of the vertex with this formula:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

In this case:

b=-10\\a=1

Then:

x=\frac{-(-10)}{2(1)}=5

Rewrite the expression with f(x)=y

y = x^2-10x+16

Now substitute x=5 into the function to find the y-coordinate of the vertex:

y = (5)^2-10(5)+16

y =-9

Therefore, the vertex is:

(5,-9)

Triangle PQR has vertices P(–2, 6), Q(–8, 4), and R(1, –2). It is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x – 2, y – 16). Wha
Rudik [331]
The point P has coordinates (x,y) = (-2,6) so x = -2 and y = 6

Replace x and y with those values into the rule given
So,
(x,y) ---> (x-2, y-16)
turns into
(-2,6) ---> (-2-2, 6-16) = (-4,-10)

P = (-2,6)
P ' = (-4,-10) 

The answer is -10 because your teacher just wants the y coordinate of point P'

Mia is finally able to upgrade her cellphone. The one she wants costs $220 but she is able to get it for 60% off. She has a coup
Kay [80]

The answer would be A) $79.20

(220*.4).9 as 60 percent off means that the product is only 40 percent of its original value, furthermore, we multiply the entire thing by .9

Len [333]

Answer:

20

The denominators of 3 /10  and  1 /4  are 10  and  4.

The factors of  10  are  2 × 5  and  2 × 2

Therfore the LCD should have two 2's and one 5.

This means the answer is:

2 × 2 × 5 = <u>20</u>

I hope this helps :)
