Answer:
(1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given the h coordinate of the vertex as 1, but in order to find the k coordinate, you have to complete the square on the parabola. The first few steps are as follows. Set the parabola equal to 0 so you can solve for the vertex. Separate the x terms from the constant by moving the constant to the other side of the equals sign. The coefficient HAS to be a +1 (ours is a -2 so we have to factor it out). Let's start there. The first 2 steps result in this polynomial:
. Now we factor out the -2:
. Now we complete the square. This process is to take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 2x. Half of 2 is 1, and 1 squared is 1. We add 1 into the set of parenthesis. But we actually added into the parenthesis is +1(-2). The -2 out front is a multiplier and we cannot ignore it. Adding in to both sides looks like this:
. Simplifying gives us this:
On the left we have created a perfect square binomial which reflects the h coordinate of the vertex. Stating this binomial and moving the -3 over by addition and setting the polynomial equal to y:
From this form,
you can determine the coordinates of the vertex to be (1, 3)
Answer:
(8, -22)
Step-by-step explanation:
The tables each contain four (x,y) points of a straight line. You can see that for every increase of x by 2, y decreases by 8 in the first one (observe 26, 18, 10 2), and decreases by 6 in the second.
If you continue the table with x=4, 6 and 8, you get y=-22 in both cases for x=8. That is the intersection, so the solution is (8,-22).
Added a graph. The equations are y=10-4x and y=2-3x respectively. Hope you understand a bit of this (brief) explanation.
