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

6. Michael Johnson holds the Olympic record for the men's 400m race at 43 seconds. His
vlada-n [284]

The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate his unit rate for both type of races

So,

<u>Unit rate for 400m race:</u>

Distance = 400m

Time = 43 sec

Unit\ rate = U_1= \frac{Distance}{Time}\\=\frac{400}{43}\\=9.30\ meters\ per\ second

<u>Unit rate for 300m Race:</u>

Distance = 300m

Time = 31 sec

Unit\ Rate= U_2=\frac{300}{31}\\=9.68\ meters\ per\ second

The difference between both unit rates is:

U_2-U_1 = 9.68-9.30\\=0.38 => 0.4\ meters\ per\ sec

Hence,

The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Two regular pentagons have areas of 20 mm² and x² - x mm². What values of x make the pentagons congruent?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

<u>Answer</u>

5 and -4


<u>Explanation</u>

If the two triangle are congruent then they have the same area.

20 = x² - x

x² - x - 20 = 0

x² - x + (1/2)² = 20 + (1/2)²

(x - 1/2)² = 20.25

x - 1/2 = √20.25

x - 1/2 = 4.5                             or    x - 1/2 = - 4.5

x = 4 1/2 + 1/2                                      x = -4 1/2 + 1/2

   = 5                                                      = -4

The values of x are 5 and -4.

Well TBH, does 0 really equal 3. no that means that they are parallel, there is no point of intersection.
