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 )

What are the next three terms in the pattern 2, 6, 18, 54, ...?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

OPTION B: 162, 486, 1458

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, . . .

It is a geometric sequence and the common difference is 3.

The general form of a geometric sequence is: a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .

Here a = 2 and r = 3.

$ n^{th} $ term of a Geometric progression is $ ar^{n - 1} $.

Note that the fourth term is 54.

i.e., $ ar^3 = 54 $

$ \implies ar^4 = ar^3 . r = 54 . 3 = 162 $.

Similarly, $ ar^6 = 162 \times 3 = 486 $.

Also, $ ar^7 = ar^6 . r = 486 \times 3 = 1458 $.

Hence, OPTION B is the answer.
