Answer:

vertex: (2, -3.2)

axis of symmetry: x = 2

zeros: x=0, x=4

formula for axis of symmetry:

x = <x-coordinate of vertex>
x = -b/(2a) . . . . . . . where the quadratic is ax^2 +bx +c
x = average of zeros, (z1 +z2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The vertex x-coordinate is halfway between the zeros, so is x = (0+4)/2 = 2. It is where the graph has a turning point.

The vertex y-coordinate is the low point of this graph. It is not on a grid line, so we can only guess at its value. I choose to call it -3.2.

The vertex is (2, -3.2).

b) The axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex. The constant in its equation is the x-coordinate of the vertex:

x = 2

__

c) The zeros of the function are where the function crosses the x-axis. These are marked on the graph with red dots. The zeros are x=0 and x=4.

__

d) When the quadratic is written in standard form, ax^2 +bx +c, the equation of the axis of symmetry is ...

x = -b/(2a) . . . . . perhaps this is the formula you're being asked for (?)

When there is no equation, the axis of symmetry can be found from the graph a couple of ways. One is to identify the x-coordinate of the vertex.

x = <x-coordinate of the vertex>

Another is to average the zeros, since they are symmetrical about the axis of symmetry.

x = average of zeros = (z1 +z2)/2

If the quadratic is written in vertex form, the vertex coordinate is the constant in the equation for the axis of symmetry.

y = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . quadratic with vertex (h, k)

x = h . . . . . . equation of axis of symmetry

What is the average rate of change CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION I WILL BRAINLIEST

Andre45 [30]

<h3>Answer: The average rate of change for both is -2</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The x interval [0,3] is the same as writing $0 \le x \le 3$

It starts at x = 0 and ends at x = 3.

The graph shows that x = 0 leads to y = 3. So we have the point (0,3) on the parabola. We also have the point (3,-3) on the parabola.

Let's find the slope of the line through these endpoints.

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,3) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (3,-3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-3 - 3}{3 - 0}\\\\m = \frac{-6}{3}\\\\m = -2\\\\$

The slope is -2. This is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 3.

This is because:

slope = rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x) = average rate of change.

-------------

Now let's find the slope for the table.

Focus on the rows for x = 0 and x = 3. They lead to f(x) = 10 and f(x) = 4 respectively.

We have (0,10) and (3,4) as our two points this time.

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,10) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (3,4)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{4 - 10}{3 - 0}\\\\m = \frac{-6}{3}\\\\m = -2\\\\$

We get the same slope as before, so we have the same rate of change.

Notice the change in y (-6) is the same as before. So we could pick any two y values we want as long as there's a gap of 6 between them, and the second y value is smaller than the first.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAPP !!

Answer:

1. you start with $ 3 and save $1 each month

2. your total savings is 3 times the number of month multiplied by itself

3. you save $3 the first month and then each month the amount triples

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

as y axis represents savings while x axis represents months

the statement "you start with $ 3 and save $1 each month"

is best described by the graph of straight line having slope of 1 and intercept of 3.

2. your total savings is 3 times the number of month multiplied by itself

= 3(x)(x)

= 3x^2

3. as y axis represents savings while x axis represents months

the statement "you save $3 the first month and then each month the amount triples" is best described by the exponential graph starting to rise from point (1,3) which means $3 save at 1 month.
