Answer:

A, D, E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to complete the square to prove A.  Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.

x^2-8x=-5

Now we can complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x).  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we add 16 to both sides.

(x^2-8x+16)=-5+16

We will do the addition on the right, no big deal.  On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,

(x-4)^2=11

Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.

(x-4)^2-11=y

From this you can see that A is correct.

Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.

The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value.  This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation.  In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value.  So the axis of symmetry is

x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.

We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x.  When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5.  So the y-intercept is (0, 5).

From this you can see that D is also correct.

To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x.  I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice.  Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0).  That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.

Solve for x2:<br><br> y2 − y1 = m(x2 − x1)<br><br><br> this is literal equations btw
blondinia [14]

Answer:

x2 = y2/m - y1/m + x1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand

y2 - y1 = mx2 - mx1

Rearrange

y2 - y1 + mx1 = mx2

Divide both sides by m to make x2 on its own

y2/m - y1/m + x1 (m's cancel out) = x2

Hence:

x2 = y2/m - y1/m + x1

Which of the following formulas, when evaluated using rational values for the variables, will result in an irrational number?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

a) The formula for the area of a circle  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is  

A = πr²

π is an irrational number and, no matter what value you use for r, the area will be an irrational number,

b) is wrong. A = ½(a + b)h.  

c) is wrong. A = ½bh.

d) is wrong. A = bh.

All measurements are rational numbers, so the areas will be rational numbers.
