<em>p = 21</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a midsegment, the base is going to be two times as large as the midsegment. You can find the midsegment if you multiply it by two and set it equal to the base. I have attached a photo below that may help you.
This is the equation we will be using.
Now let's solve! Let's start by distributing the 2 by what's in the parentheses.
Subtract p from both sides.
Add 26 to both sides.
<u>p = 21</u>
Answer:
Part A) The graph in the attached figure
Part B) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Graph the function
we have the quadratic function
This is a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is a minimum
using a graphing tool
The graph in the attached figure
Part B) What are the values of a, b and c?
we know that
The values of a and b represent the x-intercepts of the quadratic equation
The x-intercepts are
(-2,0) and (6,0)
so
Find the value of c
we know that
The x-coordinate of the vertex in a vertical parabola is equal to the midpoint of the roots
so
The value of c is equal to
substitute the given values
see the attached figure
