Answers:
- Vertex form: y = -2(x-1)^2 + 8
- Standard form: y = -2x^2 + 4x + 6
Pick whichever form you prefer.
=============================================================
Explanation:
The vertex is the highest point in this case, which is located at (1,8).
In general, the vertex is (h,k). So we have h = 1 and k = 8.
One root of this parabola is (-1,0). So we'll plug x = -1 and y = 0 in as well. As an alternative, you can go for (x,y) = (3,0) instead.
Plug those four values mentioned into the equation below. Solve for 'a'.
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
0 = a(-1-1)^2+8
0 = a(-2)^2+8
0 = 4a+8
4a+8 = 0
4a = -8
a = -8/4
a = -2
The vertex form of this parabola is y = -2(x-1)^2+8
Expanding that out gets us the following
y = -2(x-1)^2+8
y = -2(x^2-2x+1)+8
y = -2x^2+4x-2+8
y = -2x^2+4x+6 .... equation in standard form
Answer:
143
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 17 = 37
180 - 37 = 143
Answer:
The equation is following the mathematical rule of multiplying exponents.
Step-by-step explanation:
As an example to back up the answer, when you have half of a dollar, that is $0.50, if you took a half (1/2) of $0.50 that would be one fourth (1/4) of a dollar, but half of 50 cents ($0.50) A similar thing is happening with this problem. When you have two numbers (2 and 4) when you multiply them together, they equal to eight (8) for this problem, when you multiply two exponents together, you are raising the coefficient (a real number like 6) to the power of 2, and then taking that number and multiplying it by the power of 4. This is similar to the half of 50 cents, is equal to 1/4 of dollar ($0.25)
Hope this helps explain multiplying exponents together, and the mathematical rule behind it.
40 x 0.08875 = 3.55
40 + 3.55 = 43.55
the sum is $43.55
