Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an equation 
. We are asked to find the zeros of equation by factoring and then find the line of symmetry of the parabola.
Let us factor our given equation as:
Dividing both sides by 2:
Splitting the middle term:
Using zero product property:
Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are .
We know that the line of symmetry of a parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.
We also know that x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is equal to the average of zeros. So x-coordinate of vertex of parabola would be:
Therefore, the equation represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.
-- The original price was $82.
-- The dealer knocked ($82 - $65.60) = $16.40 off of the price because
he loves his customers so much and he wanted to make their lives easier.
-- The amount he knocked off is ( 16.40 / 82 ) = 0.2 = <em>20%</em> of the original price.
==========================================
Check:
If he reduced the original price 20%, then 80% of it must have been left.
80% of the original price = 0.8 x $82 = $65.60 It checks. <em>yay!
</em>
Answer: -8.8n + 7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
2.8 - 5.8n - 3n + 5
Add -5.8n and -3n to get -8.8n
Add 2.8 and 5 together to get 7.8
A sextant<span> is a </span>doubly reflecting navigation instrument<span> that measures the </span>angular distance<span> between two visible objects. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an </span>astronomical object<span> and the </span>horizon<span> for the purposes of </span>celestial navigation<span>.
The estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as </span>sighting<span> or </span>shooting<span> the object, or </span>taking a sight<span>. The angle and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a </span>position line<span> on a nautical or aeronautical </span>chart. F<span>or example; sighting the </span>Sun<span> at </span>noon <span>or </span>Polaris<span> at night (in the Northern Hemisphere) to estimate </span>latitude<span>. Sighting the height of a landmark can give a measure of </span>distance off<span> and held horizontally.
A sextant can measure angles between objects for a </span>position on a chart.<span> A sextant can also be used to measure the </span>lunar distance<span> between the moon and another celestial object (such as a star or planet) in order to determine </span>Greenwich Mean Time<span> and hence </span>longitude<span>.
Hope this helps!
