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

Mathematics

Arada [10]3 years ago

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 )

Find the prime factorizations foor the following numbers 36 and 84
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Answer:

36 = 2² * 3²
84 = 2² * 3 * 7


Explanation:

Pf of 36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 which then becomes 2 (to the power of 2) times 3 (to the power of 2)

Pf of 84 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 7 which then becomes 2 (to the power of 2) * 3 * 7

If this helps it would be greatly appreciated if you thanked me.
