Answer:

1. <em>Axis of symmetry</em>: x = 3

2. <em>Vertex:</em> (3,5)

3. <em>Solution of the equation</em>:

<u />

  • x-intercepts:

               (3-\sqrt{5},0) \\\\(3+\sqrt{5},0)

  • y-intercept: (0, -4)

Explanation:

<u>1. Equation:</u>

    y=-x^2+6x-4

<u>2. </u><em><u>Axis of symmetry:</u></em>

That is the equation of a parabola, whose standard form is:

                 y=ax^2+bx+c

Where:    

                 a=-1;b=6;c=-4

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line with equation:

               x=-b/2a

Substitute  a=-1,\text{ and }b=6

          x=-6/[(2)(-1)]=-6/(-2)=3

Thus, the axis of symmetry is:

            x=3

<em><u>3. Vertex</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to the axys of symmetry, i.e x = 3.

To find the y-xoordinate, substitute this value of x into the equation for y:

               y=-x^2+6x-4\\\\y=-(3)^2+6(3)-4=-9+18-4=5

Therefore, the vertex is (3, 5)

<u>4. Find the x-intercepts</u>

The x-intercepts are the roots of the equation, which are the points wher y = 0.

        y=-x^2+6x-4=0

Use the quadratic equation:

       x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(-1)(-4)} }{2(-1)}\\\\x_1=3-\sqrt{5} \\\\x_2=3+\sqrt{5}

<u>5. Find the y-intercept</u>

<u />

The y-intercet is the value of y when x=0:

         y=-x^2+6x-4\\\\y=-(0)^2+6(0)-4=-4

irga5000 [103]
3y = 2x + 6
x + y = 7

y = 7 - x
3(7 - x) = 2x + 6
21 - 3x = 2x + 6
21 - 6 = 2x + 3x
15 = 5x
15/5 = x
3 = x

x + y = 7
3 + y = 7
y = 7 - 3
y = 4

Solution is (3,4)

svp [43]
Your answer is: $3.15 each.

Here are the steps:

First, I added $2.82 and $1.43. Then, I subtracted the sum ($4.25) from $20. Lastly, I divided the difference($15.75) by five because there were five pineapples. Which gave me the answer: $3.15.

Calcula y comprueba las ecuaciones: porfavor alguienn la nesesito pliss a) 2X = 6 b) 10 + Z = 20 c) P + 9 = 11 d) 3X + 8 = + 29
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

<u>a) x = 3</u>

<u>b) z = 10</u>

<u>c) p = 2</u>

<u>d) x = 7</u>

<u>e) u = 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2x = 6

Despejamos x dividiendo por 2 a amabos lados de la eacuacion.

(2/2)x = 6/2

<u>x = 3</u>

Si remplazamos x en la ecuación original:

2(3)=6

6 = 6

Queda demostrado.

b) 10 + z = 20

Despejamos z restando 10 en amabos lados de la eacuacion.

10-10+z = 20-10

<u>z = 10</u>

Si remplazamos z en la ecuación original:

10 + 10=20

20 = 20

Queda demostrado.

c) p + 9 = 11

Despejamos p restando 9 en amabos lados de la eacuacion.

p + 9 - 9 = 11-9

<u>p = 2</u>

Si remplazamos p en la ecuación original:

2 + 9 = 11

11 = 11

Queda demostrado.

d) 3x + 8 = 29

Despejamos x restando 8 en amabos lados de la eacuacion y luego divideindo por 3 en ambos lados de la ecuación.

3x+8-8 = 29-8

3x = 21

(3/3)x = 21/3

<u>x = 7</u>

Si remplazamos x en la ecuación original:

3(7) + 8 = 29

21 + 8 = 29

29 = 29

Queda demostrado

e) 2u + 8 = 10

Despejamos u restando 8 en amabos lados de la eacuacion y luego divideindo por 2 en ambos lados de la ecuación.

2u+8-8 = 10-8

2x = 2

(2/2)x = 2/2

<u>x = 1</u>

Si remplazamos x en la ecuación original:

2(1) + 8 = 10

2 + 8 = 10

10 = 10

Queda demostrado

What is the area of the composite figure? ___ units^2
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

  34 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be considered to be a trapezoid with a rectangle removed.

The area of the trapezoid is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  A = (1/2)(10 +6)(5) = 40

The area of the rectangle is ...

  A = LW

  A = (3)(2) = 6

Then the area of the shaded portion of the figure is ...

  shaded area = trapezoid area - rectangle area

  = 40 - 6 = 34 . . . square units
