F(x)=-1/2(x-2)^2-4 Graph the function

Mathematics
1 answer:
telo118 [61]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is written in vertex form. It has a negative vertical scale factor, so you know ...

  • the vertex is (2, -4)
  • the vertical scale factor is 1/2
  • the parabola opens downward

Vertex form is ...

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . . . . vertical scale factor "a", vertex (h, k)

__

Since you know the vertex and scale factor, you can plot some points on the graph. I find it convenient to think in terms of units either side of the vertex. These are values of x that would make (x-2)^2 be 1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2 and so on. The vertical scale factor of -1/2 tells you that the y-differences for these points will be -1/2, -4/2, -9/2, -16/2 from the vertex. Then we have ...

  vertex: (2, -4)

  1 unit either side of the vertex: (1, -4.5), (3, -4.5)

  2 units either side of the vertex: (0, -6), (4, -6)

  3 units either side of the vertex: (-1, -8.5), (5, -8.5)

  4 units either side of the vertex: (-2, -12), (6, -12)

You can plot these points and draw a smooth curve through them. Or, you can let a graphing calculator do it. The result will be similar to that shown below.

Deanna uses only fruit juice and sparkling water to make punch for a school dance. She uses 6 liters of fruit juice. She uses 0.
Softa [21]

Answer: 3.6 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

- She uses 6 liters of fruit juice.

- She uses 0.6 as much sparkling water as fruit juice.

Therefore, let's call x the amount of fruit punch she made.

Keeping the above on mind, you can solve the problem by multiplying the 6 liter of fruit juice she uses by 0.6.

Therefore the result is:

x=(6liter)(0.6)\\x=3.6liters

Why resultant magnitude by using Pythagorean theorem is different than using ( x,y )components addition vectors ???
Andreyy89

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Your different answers came about as a result of an error you made in the Pythagorean theorem calculation.

  √(100 +100) = √200 = 14.142 . . . . same as vector calculation

5) Using the terms "input" and "output" and the definition of a function, explain why this relationship is or is
Aleks [24]

Answer:

This relationship is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

While a function may not have two output values (y) assigned to the same input value (x), it may have two input values (x) assigned to the output value (y).

The table follows that rule
