Write y= -4x² -16x -14 in vertex form.
1 answer:
- Put brackets around the first two terms on the right. y = (-4x^2 - 16x) - 14
- Pull out the common factor in the first two terms. y = -4(x^2 + 4x) - 14
- Divide the middle term by 2. Add that inside the brackets. square y = -4(x^2 +4x +(4/2)^2 - 14
- y = -4(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 14 + 16 This is the step where most people stumble. The point is why is 16 added? It is because what you have done inside the brackets is multiplied 4 by - 4 (on the left). That means you have changed the equation by -16. To counter that, you must add 16 after the - 14. The result is y= -4(x^2 + 4x+4) + 2
- Express the terms inside the brackets as a square. y = - 4(x + 2)^2 + 2
B and D are both wrong. B has +4 outside the brackets. It is - 4
D is wrong because there is no 4 of any kind outside the brackets.
A is incorrectly represented inside the brackets as 16. That's not right
That only leaves C. <<<< Answer
Graphs
Notice that the red parabola and the green one are the same thing.
Red: y = -4x^2 - 16x - 14
Green: y = -4(x + 2)^2 + 2

Answer:
square; perimeter 20 units; area 25 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the attachment shows, each side of the polygon is the hypotenuse of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so has length 5 units. The perimeter is the sum of those lengths, 4×5 = 20; the area is the product of the lengths of adjacent sides, 5×5 = 25.
The figure is a square of side length 5 units.
The perimeter is 20 units; the area is 25 square units.
Using the uniform distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3 = 30% probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus.
<h3>What is the uniform probability distribution?</h3>It is a distribution with two bounds, a and b, in which each outcome is equally as likely.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:
In this problem, the time is uniformly distributed between 0 and 15 minutes, hence the bounds are a = 0 and b = 15.
The probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus is given by:
