X^2-4x-17 is the same as 1x^2 + (-4)x + (-17)
It is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c where
a = 1
b = -4
c = -17
To find the value of h, we use this formula
h = -b/(2a)
h = -(-4)/(2*(1))
h = 4/2
h = 2
Plug this back into the original function to find k
k = x^2-4x-17
k = (2)^2-4(2)-17
k = 4-8-17
k = -4-17
k = -21
So we know that a = 1, h = 2 and k = -21 making
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
turn into
y = 1(x-2)^2 - 21
which is now in vertex form. The vertex is (h,k) = (2,-21)
I think answer should be the last option please give me brainlest let me know if it’s correct or not okay thanks bye
3x = 18 - 3 times girls = # boys = 18
x = 6 - # of girls in the class
Answer:
Base = 8 * 17
Step-by-step explanation:
(Not sure what the "8" is, assuming an accidental input.)
Base area = 3536/26 = 136
136 = Lw
L = 136/w
L = w + 9
136/w = w + 9
136 = w(w + 9)
136 = w² + 9w
w² + 9w - 136
(w + 17)(w - 8)
Only use the positive result. w = 8
L = 8 + 9 = 17
Edit: Maybe 8 is the answer accidentally included in the question?...
