My father taught me a method that I call, 'throwing some thing over the wall'. There is a sample equation for the first picture that shows you how it works. It's a great way to help isolate the variable and I hope that it works for you. The second picture contains the answers I got through the use of this method. I'm sorry for the messy handwriting; I was on a bus.
Answer:
Explanation:
simplify the following
subtract 1 from both sides
simplify the following
multiply both sides by 1/3
simplify the following
Answer: Is not
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since G(0) = g(0) = 20, the parabolic graphs of these functions share a y-intercept: (0, 20).
Completing the square puts these equations into vertex form, which simplifies comparisons of the graphs:
G(x) = 2x^2 - 12x + 20 becomes
2(x^2 - 6x + 9 - 9) + 20, or
2(x - 3)^2 - 18 + 20, or 2(x - 3)^2 + 2. Comparing this result to
a(x - h)^2 + k, we see that the vertex is located at (3, 2).
Going through the same process for g(x) 2x^2+12x+20, we get:
g(x) = 2(x + 3)^2 + 2, whose vertex is at (-3, 2).
