Write f(x)=8x^2-4x+11 in vertex form

Mathematics

Vlad [161]3 years ago

Answer:

f(x)=8(x-\frac{1}{4})^{2}+\frac{21}{2}

or

f(x)=8(x-0.25)^{2}+10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=8x^{2}-4x+11

This is a vertical parabola open upward (because the leading coefficient is positive)

The vertex is a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor the leading coefficient

f(x)=8(x^{2}-\frac{1}{2}x)+11

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

f(x)=8(x^{2}-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{16})+11-\frac{1}{2}

f(x)=8(x^{2}-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{16})+\frac{21}{2}

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)=8(x-\frac{1}{4})^{2}+\frac{21}{2} ----> equation in vertex form

or

f(x)=8(x-0.25)^{2}+10.5

The vertex is the point  (0.25,10.5)

Explain the difference between parallel and perpendicular slope in fewer than twenty words.
viva [34]

Answer:

parallel refers to two equidistant lines, Because the lines are equally distant, they have the same slope and the angle between them is zero. On the other hand, when two lines intersect at a right angle, they are called perpendicular.
