Find the x-intercept(s) and the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola.

Mathematics

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = x² - 2x - 8

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 , that is

x² - 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x- intercepts : x = - 2, x = 4

The x- coordinate of the vertex is mid way between the x- intercepts, that is

x_{vertex} = \frac{-2+4}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1

Substitute x = 1 into the equation for corresponding y- coordinate

y = 1² - 2(1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9

vertex = (1, - 9 )

Simplify 5(2a – 4b + 5)
Sidana [21]

Hey there!

In order to solve this problem (or equation) you have to distribute

5(2a - 4b + 5) \\ 5(2a) + (-4b) +5 \\  5(2a) +5(-4b) + 5(5) \\  5(2a) = 10a \\  5(-4b) =  -20b \\ 5(5) = 25 \\ \\ \\ Answer: 10a - 20b +25 (OptionB.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
