The definition of a function is a relation where every input (x value) is paired with exactly one output (y-value).

A. Not a function, because you have (300, 9) and (300,7). The x-value 300 is paired with two different y-values, 9 and 7.

B. Not a function. (260, 4) and (260, 2)

C. Is a function

D. Not a function. (225, 4) and (225, 2)

Factor the quadratic expression in the equation y=2x^2+28x+96 and use the factors to find the zeros of the equation. Then, use t

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$x=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $y=2x^2+28x+96$ . We are asked to find the zeros of equation by factoring and then find the line of symmetry of the parabola.

Let us factor our given equation as:

$2x^2+28x+96=0$

Dividing both sides by 2:

$x^2+14x+48=0$

Splitting the middle term:

$x^2+6x+8x+48=0$

$(x^2+6x)+(8x+48)=0$

$x(x+6)+8(x+6)=0$

$(x+8)(x+6)=0$

Using zero product property:

$(x+8)=0\text{ (or) }(x+6)=0$

$x+8=0\text{ (or) }x+6=0$

$x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6$

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are $x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6$ .

We know that the line of symmetry of a parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

We also know that x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is equal to the average of zeros. So x-coordinate of vertex of parabola would be:

$\frac{-8+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-14}{2}=-7$

Therefore, the equation $x=-7$ represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.

A tunnel is built in form of a parabola. The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m. On

uysha [10]

Given:

The width at the base of parabolic tunnel is 7 m.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures.

The height to light fixtures is 4 m.

To find:

Whether it is possible a trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel.

Solution:

The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m.

Let the graph of the parabola intersect the x-axis at x=0 and x=7. It means x and (x-7) are the factors of the height function.

The function of height is:

$h(x)=ax(x-7)$ ...(i)

Where, a is a constant.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures and the height to light fixtures is 4 m. It means the graph of height function passes through the point (3,4).

Putting x=3 and h(x)=4 in (i), we get

$4=a(3)((3)-7)$

$4=a(3)(-4)$

$\dfrac{4}{(3)(-4)}=a$

$-\dfrac{1}{3}=a$

Putting $a=-\dfrac{1}{3}$ , we get

$h(x)=-\dfrac{1}{3}x(x-7)$ ...(ii)

The center of the parabola is the midpoint of 0 and 7, i.e., 3.

The width of the truck is 4 m. If is passes through the center then the truck must m 2 m on the left side of the center and 2 m on the right side of the center.

2 m on the left side of the center is x=1.5.

A trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel is possible if h(1.5) is greater than 2.8.

Putting x=1.5 in (ii), we get

$h(1.5)=-\dfrac{1}{3}(1.5)(1.5-7)$
