Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)

We write the equation in standard form of parabola f(x)=ax^2+bx+c using FOIL

f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)\\\\f(x)=-(x^2-21x+9x-189)\\\\f(x)=-x^2+12x+189

Now, we know that the axis of symmetry passes through the vertex. Hence, in order to find the vertex of the parabola, we find the x coordinate of the vertex.

x coordinate of the vertex is -\frac{b}{2a}

Here, a = -1 b = 12

-\frac{b}{2a}\\\\=-\frac{12}{2\cdot(-1)}\\\\=-(-6)\\\\=6

Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x = 6

<span>f(x) =-(x+9)(x-21)

Manipulating algebrically,
We get,
</span>f(x) =-(x+9)(x-21)
      = -(x^2 -21x + 9x - 189)
      = -(x^2 -12x - 189)
      = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Axis of symmetry = -b/2a
plugging the values,
x = -12/-2
   = 6

PLEAS HELP ASAP PLEAS 20 points<br> 1 over 3b = 4 over 5. what equals b in this equation?
White raven [17]

Answer:

b = 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the proportion

1/(3b) = 4/5        

Cross multiply to get rid of the fractions...

5 = 12b                now solve for b

5/12 = b                 (divide by 12 on both sides)
