How do I simplify this?

Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.

The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ? 
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is            (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height)  .

The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture.  Take those, and use them to find the area.

Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).

Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top:  Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.

You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.

What is the vertex of the graph of the function y=-2x^2+16x-15
andrey2020 [161]
<u>X - Vertex</u>
Vertex = -\frac{b}{2a} \\Vertex = -\frac{16}{2(-2)} \\Vertex = -\frac{16}{-4} \\Vertex = 4

<u>Y - Vertex</u>
y = -2x^{2} + 16x - 15 \\y = -2(4)^{2} + 16(4) - 15 \\y = -2(16) + 64 - 15 \\y = -32 + 64 - 15 \\y = 32 - 15 \\y = 17

Anyone know how to do this?

When you add 2pi to the angle, the amount is still the same. Therefore, you can make -17pi/4 positive by adding 6pi to it.

6pi + (-17pi/4)
= 24pi/4 - 17pi/4
= 7pi/4
