Find the vertex of this function f(x)= x^2+4x-12

1 answer:

7 0

F(x) = x² + 4x - 12

x = -b/2a
x = -(4)/2(1)
x = -4/2
x = 2

f(x) = x² + 4x - 12
f(2) = (2)² + 4(2) - 12
f(2) = 4 + 8 - 12
f(2) = 12 - 12
f(2) = 0

The vertex of the function is (2,0).

Use a number line to add 3 + (-5).

jekas [21]

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation: When your adding and subtracting positives and negatives, it helps to use a number line to visualise what's going on in the problem.

On a number line zero is in the middle. All numbers to the right of zero are positive and all numbers to the left of zero are negative.

So when your simplifying a problem like 3 + (-5), we start at zero and positive 3 takes us to the right. From there, -5 moves us 5 units back to the left and we end up -2. So 3 + (-5) simplifies to -2.

I have attached a number line along with my work

How many solutions does the system x + y = 3 and 2x + 2y = 5 have?

Nataliya [291]

<span>y=-x+5/2..................(2)
the slopes of equations (10) & (2) are same and the intercepts are different
so the lines are parallel.
it has no solution </span>

-Dominant- [34]

Yes, you did this right. 5 if the GCF of 15 and 5

all you have to do is find the GCF and then divide so you can get your new inside values with the gcf outside the parentheses.
