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.

If the maximum value of y=-3x² + mx + 10 is 37, find the values of m.​
uysha [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x² + mx + 10

dy/dx = -6x + m.

When dy/dx = 0, -6x + m = 0. => x = m/6.

We have y = -3(m/6)² + m(m/6) + 10 = 37.

=> -m²/12 + m²/6 = 27

=> -m² + 2m² = 324

=> m² = 324

=> m = 18 or m = -18.

A softball base is 15 x 15 inches long and wide. What is the length of the diagonal?
Finger [1]

Answer:

15 sqrt 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + 15^2 = c^2

225 + 225 = 450

Find prime factors of the sq rt of 450

450 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 * 5

15 sqrt 2
