Answer:

Part a) The vertex is the point (-2,-8)

Part b) The equation of the axis of symmetry is x=-2

Part c) The y-intercept is the point (0,-4)

Part d) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

if a> 0 then the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a<0 then the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

The axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

x=h ----> equation of the axis of symmetry

In this problem we have

y=x^{2}+4x-4

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

Part a)

what is the vertex of this function?

Convert the function into vertex form

y=x^{2}+4x-4

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

y+4=x^{2}+4x

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

y+4+4=(x^{2}+4x+4)

y+8=(x^{2}+4x+4)

Rewrite as perfect squares

y+8=(x+2)^{2}

y=(x+2)^{2}-8 ----> equation in vertex form

The vertex is the point (-2,-8)

Part b) what is the equation of the axis of symmetry?

we know that

The axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

x=h ----> equation of the axis of symmetry

The vertex is the point  (-2,-8)

The x-coordinate of the vertex is -2

therefore

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x=-2

Part c) What is the y- intercept?

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

y=(0)^{2}+4(0)-4  

y=-4

The y-intercept is the point (0,-4)

Part d) Graph the line of symmetry. Plot the vertex and the point containing the y-intercept. Then plot another point on the graph and use the plotted points and the axis of symmetry to plot two more points. Draw the graph of the function through the points

To plot the function find the x-intercepts

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

For y=0

0=(x+2)^{2}-8

(x+2)^{2}=8

square root both sides

x+2=(+/-)2\sqrt{2}

x=-2(+/-)2\sqrt{2}

x1=-2(+)2\sqrt{2}=0.828

x2=-2(-)2\sqrt{2}=-4.828

the graph in the attached figure

If you apply the changes below to the absolute value parent function, f(x) = |x|, what is the equation of the new function?Shift
Serjik [45]

Answer: C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The general form of the equation is: g(x) = a|x - h| + k  ;

  • "a" represents the vertical stretch <em>(or shrink)</em>
  • "h" represents the x-coordinate of the vertex (left and right)
  • "k" represents the y-coordinate of the vertex (up and down)

4 units left means h = 4

2 units up means k = 2

--> g(x) = |x - 4| + 2

Solution for -4 5/6 +5 1/3
sammy [17]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this equation you must find the greatest common factor or gcf to make the denominators the same

that happens to be 6

so

-4 5/6 + 5 2/6

then you add

you can break them up at add them like this

(-4 + 5) + (-5/6 + 2/6)

1 + -3/6

-3/6 is also -1/2

1 + -1/2

1/2

that is your answer

What is the volume of a cylinder with a
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Yes it is is 392.9 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder is π*r^2*h, π times radius squared times height.

Since the diameter is 5.2, the radius is 2.6 (half of it). 2.6^2 = 6.76, and the height is 18.5, 6.76*18.5 = 125.06. Multiply it by pi to get 392.887577258, round it to 392.9, The volume is 392.9 cubic meters.

Y = 3x/4 - 1

Taking (-1-2)/(0-4) gives the slope of the line to be 3/4. Substituting x = 0 gives the y-intercept as -1.
