There can only be two definite x-intercepts, so your goal it to find 2 numbers of x that, when plugged into the equation, give you the answer of 0. 1 is the first x-intercept(4-24+20 equals 0). The second one is 5 (100-120+20 equals 0). So the average is 3, so the axis of symmetry is 3 since 5+1=6, and 6/2=3

Honestly, there is an easier way to find the axis of symmetry. the equation would be -b/2a, where as b is the coefficient in the second part of the equation, while a is the first coefficient in the equation. -(-24) is 24, and 4*2=8, so 24/8=3

I hope I actually answered this the way you wanted. You asked for an equation, but I just answered the axis of symmetry with very simple equation initially and another equation

To get the x-intercepts of the function, f(x) = 4x2 – 24x + 20

It has to be equated to zero and the values of x are the x-intercepts. So,

4x2 – 24x + 20 = 0

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation which can be solved by different methods. The solution is

x = 5, 1

The average therefore is:

(1+5/)2 = 3

3.5/5.0 =_____/15.0<br> How to solve this ?
mote1985 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 3.5 by 5.0 (3.5 ÷ 5.0 = 0.7), then multiply 0.7 by 15.0 (0.7 × 15.0 = 10.5), and check by dividing (10.5 ÷ 15.0 = 7.0) the answer is 10.5

An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles. 1. One person takes two marbles at random from the urn and does not replace th
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A) The best way to picture this problem is with a probability tree, with two steps.

The first branch, the person can choose red or blue, being 2 out of five (2/5) the chances of picking a red marble and 3 out of 5 of picking a blue one.

The probabilities of the second pick depends on the first pick, because it only can choose of what it is left in the urn.

If the first pick was red marble, the probabilities of picking a red marble are 1 out of 4 (what is left of red marble out of the total marble left int the urn) and 3 out of 4 for the blue marble.

If the first pick was the blue marble, there is 2/4 of chances of picking red and 2/4 of picking blue.

B) So a person can have a red marble and a blue marble in two ways:

1) Picking the red first and the blue last

2) Picking the blue first and the red last

C) P(R&B) = 3/5 = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

C) P(R&B) = P(RB) + P(BR) = (2/5)*(3/4) + (3/5)*(2/4) = 3/10 + 3/10 = 3/5

V125BC [204]
Answer: 7 π r² + π r³

Explanation:

1) The general formula for the volumen, V, of a cylinder with radius r and height h is:

V = π r² h

2) Now you have the condition that the height is 7 inches greater than the radius, that is:

h = 7 + r

3) Replace h with its expression

V = π r² (7 + r)

4) Expand the product (use distributive property):

V = π (7r²) + π r³ = 7 π r² + π r³

Answer: 7 π r² + π r³
