Shadow problems are usually solved with a proportion.
.. oak/(oak's shadow) = joey/(joey's shadow)
.. oak/(12 ft) = (6 ft)/(5 ft)
.. oak = (12 ft)*(6/5) = 14.4 ft . . . . . . . matches selection B

On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0.25, negative 6), and goes throug
serg [7]

The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.

<h3>What is vertex of parabola?</h3>

The vertex of parabola is the point at the intersection of parabola and its line of symmetry.

Now the given function is,

f(x) = 2x^2 – x – 6

Also, it is given that the vertex is located at (0.25, -6)  and the parabola opens up, the function has two x-intercepts.

Comparing the given function with standard form,

f(x) = a x^2 bx + c

By comprison we get,

a = 2

b = -1

c = -6

Now, x-coordinate of vertex is given as,

x = -b/2a

put the values we get,

x = -(-1)/2*2

or, x = 1/4

Put the value of x in given function, so y-coordinate of the vertex is given as,

f(1/4) = 2(1/4)² - 1/4 - 6

        = -49/6

       = -6 1/8

Hence, The statements true about the the function f(x) = 2x2 – x – 6 are-

  • The vertex of the function is (one-quarter, negative 6 and one-eighth).
  • The function has two x-intercepts.
