Step-by-step explanation:
I don't have graphing facilities but can give you the vertex and 1 other point.
Given a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
x = - 
y = - x² - 2x + 8 ← is in standard form
with a = - 1 and b = - 2 , then
x = -
= - 1
Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y
y = - (- 1)² - 2(- 1) + 8 = - 1 + 2 + 8 = 9
vertex = (- 1, 9 )
To obtain another point substitute any value for x into the equation
x = 0 : y = 0 - 0 + 8 , then (0, 8 ) is a point on the graph
x = 2 : y = - (2)² - 2(2) + 8 = - 4 - 4 + 8 = 0 then (2, 0 ) is a point on the graph
Answer:
<u>1. Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book after 6 days and a half.</u>
<u>2. Nora and Lila be on the page 180.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's check the information given to resolve the question:
Current page of the novel that Nora is reading now = 128
Pages per day Nora reads = 8
Current page of the novel that Lila is reading now = 102
Pages per day Lila reads = 12
Days ahead for Nora and Lila will be on the same page = x
2. After how many days of reading will Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book?
128 + 8x = 102 + 12x
8x - 12x = 102 - 128 (Subtracting 12x and 128 at both sides)
-4x = -26
x = 6.5
<u>Nora and Lila be on the same page of the book after 6 days and a half.</u>
<u>3.</u> What page will they be on?
Nora : 128 + 8 (6.5) = 128 + 52 = 180
Lila : 102 + 12 (6.5) = 102 + 78 = 180
<u>Nora and Lila be on the page 180</u>
