You have the correct axis of symmetry value. Nice work.
Plug that x value into the equation to get...
y = -2x^2 - 12x - 10
y = -2*(-3)^2 - 12*(-3) - 10 <<-- replace every x with -3; then use PEMDAS
y = -2*(9) - 12*(-3) - 10
y = -18 + 36 - 10
y = 18 - 10
y = 8
The vertex is the ordered pair (-3, 8)
Note: the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex
The bases were not the same when the exponents were set equal to each other.
16 should have been written as 4 squared.
The exponent on the right should be 4a instead of 8a.
The correct solution is a=-3/4.
Answer:
5, 6 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 is proper while 5/4 is improper
6/8 is proper while 6/4 is improper
7/8 is proper while 7/4 is improper
The three points and two points must swop, and the different slopes and the same slope must swop too.
