Answer:

Option d. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form a quadratic equation is written in the form of f(x) = (x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is said to be the vertex of the equation.

Now we will try to convert the given quadratic function in the vertex form by adding zero pairs in the equation.

f(x) = x² - 10x - 4

     = x² - 10x - 4 + (25 - 25) [Since (x² - 2.(5x) + 25) = (x - 5)² so we have added a zero pair 25]

     = (x - 5)² - 4 - 25

     = (x - 5)² - 29

     = (x - 5)² + (-29)

Therefore, 25 is the zero pair that must be added to the given function to convert it in the vertex form

Option d. 25 is the answer.

I hope this helps you


f (x)=x^2-10x+25-29


f (x)=(x-5)^2-29


vertex (-(-5), -29)


vertex (5,-29)

When a shape is rotated, it must be rotated around a point.

<em>To determine the location of the new triangle, Sonja must subtract (5,-1) from the coordinates of the original triangle, before rotating by </em>90^o<em>.</em>

<em />

From the question, we have:

C = (5,-1) --- the center of rotation

Let the vertices of the triangle be (x,y).

First, she must subtract the coordinates of the center of rotation from the vertices of the triangle.

This gives:

(x,y) \to (x - 5, y + 1)

Then the vertices are rotated by 90^o

<u />

<u>The rule of </u>90^o<u> rotation is:</u>

(x,y) \to (-y,x)

So, we have:

(x - 5,y + 1) \to (-y - 1,x - 5)

From the attachment, the coordinates of the triangle are: (0,2), (0,5) and (4,2)

After rotation, the coordinates are calculated as follows:

(0,2) \to (-2-1,0-5) \to (-3,-5)

(0,5) \to (-5-1,0-5) \to (-6,-5)

(4,2) \to (-2-1,4-5) \to (-3,-1)

Hence, the coordinates are: (-3,-5), (-6,-5) and (-3,-1)

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 160 feet . The length of the swimming pool is four times its width. Find the dim
Murrr4er [49]
Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.
<span>160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>
