Answer:
This is the Graph and it's a Quadratic Function
1/2n + 15 = 9 <== ur equation
1/2n = 9 - 15
1/2n = - 6
n = -6 * 2
n = - 12 <== ur solution
y = (x^2 + 26x) +160 complete the square
y = (x^2 + 26x ) + 160
Split our the constant and use the (b/2)^2
y = (x^2 + 26x + (26/2)^2 ) + 160 - (26/2)^2
since I am adding the new value I must subtract it from the end to keep the balance
y = (x^2 + 26x + 169) + 160 - 169
Now factor parenthesis and combine like terms
y = (x+13)^2 -9 its in the vertex form
The axis of symmetry of h(x) = 5x2 + 40x + 64 = -4
The formula for calculating the axis of symmetry is expressed as:
Axis of symmetry x = -b/2a
h(x) = 5x^2 + 40x + 64
a = 5 and b = 40
