Find the equation of the quadratic function with zeros 10 and 14 and vertex at (12, -8).

We'll do the same we did on the previous one, using the vertex form.

our vertex is at (12, -8) thus h = 12, k = -8

and our zeros are 10, 0 and 14,0, so.. .we'll use say  hmm (10,0) to get the "a" coefficient.

\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad  vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
vertex\ (12,-8)\  
\begin{cases}
h=12\\
k=-8
\end{cases}\implies y=a(x-12)^2-8
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=0\\
x=10
\end{cases}\implies 0=a(10-12)^2-8
\\\\\\
8=a(-2)^2\implies 8=4a\implies \boxed{2=a}
\\\\\\
thus\qquad \boxed{y=2(x-12)^2-8}

A.

B and C are wrong because x is more than or equal to 3.

Which fraction is greater 9/12 or 1/3
ValentinkaMS [17]
We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.

andreyandreev [35.5K]
1.7a + 0.3a = 0.8;
(1.7 + 0.3)a = 0.8;
2 x a = 0.8;
a = 0.8 ÷2;
a = 0.4;

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation 1/3x+y= -15?<br><br> (_,0)
Sidana [21]

( - 45, 0)

to find the x-intercept let y = 0 in the equation

x = 0 → \frac{1}{3} x = - 15

multiply both sides by 3

x = 3 × - 15 = - 45

x-intercept = ( - 45, 0)

The half life of a certain substance is about 4 hours. The graph shows the decay of a 50 gram sample of the substance that is me
olga55 [171]
I can't see how any of those formulas show exponential decay.  (Did you type those correctly?)

The formula that will show the remaining amount correctly is:
ending amount = Bgng Amount / 2^n
where "n" is the number of haf-lives.

So, for example if half life = 4 hours and if we want to calculate the amount after 9 hours (that's 2.25 half-lives) then:
ending amount = Bgng Amount / 2^n
ending amount = 50 / (2^(9/4))
ending amount = 50 / 2^2.25
ending amount = 50 / <span><span><span>4.75682846 </span>
</span></span><span><span>ending amount = </span> 10.5112 grams
</span>Looking at the graph, we see that's about right.
