What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 8)(x – 2)?

1 answer:

7 0

Something funny is that the x value of the vertex lies directl in the middle of the x intercepts
so
we see the x intercepts or 0's at x=8 and 2
the average is x=5
so find f(5) to find the y value of the vertex
f(5)=(5-8)(5-2)
f(5)=(-3)(3)
f(5)=-9

vertex is at (5,-9)

the actual way the teacher wants is to expand then compltete the square to get into the form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where the vertex is (h,k)
but whatever

verrtex is at (5,-9)

What is the 4th term of the geometric sequence with <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B1%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="a_{1}"

<u>Answer:</u>

The 4th term of the geometric sequence with = 5 and ratio (multiplier) = -3 is -135

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, first term a of a G.P = 5 and common ratio ( r ) = -3 for an geometric progression.

We have to find the 4th term of the above given geometric progression

We know that, nth term of an G.P is given by

$t_{n}=a \cdot r^{n-1}$

So, now, 4th term is

$\begin{aligned} t_{4} &=5 \times(-3)^{4-1} \\ t_{4} &=5 \times(-3)^{3} \\ t_{4} &=5 \times(-27) \end{aligned}$

$t_{4}=-135$

hence, the 4th term of the given G.P is -135

Line CD passes through points (0, 2) and (4, 6). Which equation represents line CD?

Vikentia [17]

(0,2)(4,6)
slope = (6 - 2) / (4 - 0) = 4/4 = 1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1
use either of ur points (0,2)...x = 0 and y = 2
sub and find b, the y int
2 = 1(0) + b
2 = b

ur equation is : y = x + 2 <==
