The coordinates of the vertex of the graph are (-2, -9).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The quadratic function is described by the standard equation \boxed{ \ f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c \ }.  The graph of a quadratic function is called a parabola.

We have the quadratic function \boxed{ \ f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 5 \ }.

  • We identify the coefficients a, b, and c. For this equation, \boxed{ \ a = 1, b = 4, and \ c = -5 \ }
  • The axis of symmetry is \boxed{ \ x = h = -\frac{b}{2a} \ }, i.e., \boxed{ \ x = h = -\frac{4}{2(1)} \rightarrow h = -2 \ }. Thus, the statement in the question for the symmetry axis x = -2 is correct.
  • The vertex (or turning point) is \boxed{ \ (h, k) \ }, where \boxed{ \ k = f(h) \ }  or \boxed{ \ k = \frac{b^2 - 4ac}{-4a} \ }
  • The parabola opens upward because a > 0, resulting in a vertex that is a minimum.

Finding the minimum value is as follows:

  • \boxed{ \ k = f (-2) = (-2)^2 + 4(-2) - 5 \rightarrow k = -9 \ }, or
  • \boxed{ \ k = \frac{4^2 - 4(1)(-5)}{-4(1)} = -\frac{36}{4} \rightarrow k = -9 \ }

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex of the graph are (h, k), i.e., \boxed{\boxed{ \ (-2, -9) \ }}

Other components:

  • The y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = x² + 4x - 5 is (0, c), i.e., the point \boxed{ \ (0, -5) \ }.
  • The factorization of f (x) = x² + 4x - 5 becomes f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 1). Then we get the x-intercepts at \boxed{ \ (-5, 0) \ and \ (1, 0) \ }

What is the solution set of y = x2 + 2x + 7 and y = x + 7? A. {(0, 7), (-1, 6)} B. {(0, 7), (-7, 0)} C. {(0, 7), (1, 8)} D. {(-2
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If

y=x^2+2x+7 AND

y = x + 7, then by the transitive property of equality:

x^2+2x+7=x+7

We can solve for the values of x by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and then solving for x:

x^2+x=0

We can factor out the common x to get:

x(x + 1) = 0

which tells us by the Zero Product Property that either

x = 0 and/or x + 1 = 0 and x = -1

We are expecting 2 solutions for x since this is a second degree polynomial.  We will sub both -1 and 0 into y = x + 7 to solve for the corresponding values of y

y = 0 + 7 so

y = 7 and the coordinate is (0, 7)

y = -1 + 7 so

y = 6 and the coordinate is (-1, 6)

Solve each equation for the unknown <br>1. 5 + y = 7.<br>2. 3.8 = a + 2.5<br>5. + p = 9 1/3 ​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

1. 5 + y = 7

⇒ y = 7 - 5

⇒<u>y = 5</u>

2.  3.8 = a + 2.5

⇒ a = 2.5 - 3.8

⇒ <u>a = -1.3</u>

3. 5 + p = 9 1/3 ​

⇒ p = 9 1/3 - 5

⇒ p = 28/3 - 5

⇒ p = 28/3 - 15/3

⇒ p = 13/3

⇒<u> </u><u>p = 4 1/3</u>
