Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is written in the standard form of a quadratic function:
where:
- ax² → quadratic term
- bx → linear term
- c → constant
You need to convert this to vertex form:
where:
To find the vertex form, you need to find the vertex. For this, use the equation for axis of symmetry, since this line passes through the vertex:
Using your original equation, identify the a, b, and c terms:
Insert the known values into the equation:
Simplify. Two negatives make a positive:
X is equal to 3 (3,y). Insert the value of x into the standard form equation and solve for y:
Simplify using PEMDAS:
The value of y is -6 (3,-6). Insert these values into the vertex form:
Insert the value of a and simplify:
:Done
Answer:
The question is kinda funny. I think the graph isn't correct cos a and b coordinate ain't right
Answer:
Limit is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The last term approaches zero as n approaches infinity so the fuction approaches 2.
Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.
Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
There are three right triangles we can work with.
Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation
Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get
Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get
. That is,
We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation:
and replace
and
using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.
That gives us:
which we solve for x as follows:
Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation
and solve for z as follows:
This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.
I won't answer them all for you (don't want to cheat - need to learn something).
But for the first one given:
<span>-2x-9y=-25
-4x-9y=-23
you set up either x or y (which ever one you want to eliminate) so that one of them cancels.
So this one is easy - you just have to multiply an entire row by negative (doesn't matter which one) - so that the y's will be + and -
Since they're both 9 and they're subracting NOW - you can eliminate the y value. Now add/subtract the x's. So it'd be -2 or 2 depending on how you eliminated y. Then add the number outside of the = sign. Now just solve for x. After that plug in whatever you got for x into both of the rows. Then find the y value.
Hopefully this wasn't confusing -- reply if it is and I will try to simplify. I can give you contact if you need help with the rest
Good luck!</span>
