The y-intercept should be the height it started at before it started to descend.
So, 300 units.

Tan^2 x+sec^2 x=1 for all values of x.<br> True or False

gogolik [260]

False

because tan^2 45 = 1^2 = 1
and sec^2 x = 1/ cos^2 45 = (sqrt2)^2 = 2

so the sum = 3

Consider the problem of finding the line of symmetry and vertex of the quadratic equation f(x) =x^2-8x+15 What is the error in t

Elenna [48]

$\bf \textit{ vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}\\\\
\begin{array}{llccll} f(x) = &{{ 1}}x^2&{{ -8}}x&{{ +15}}\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)
\\\\\\
\textit{so the line of symmetry will be at }x=-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}$
