Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation y=2x^2+28x+96. 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:

2x^2+28x+96=0

Dividing both sides by 2:

x^2+14x+48=0

Splitting the middle term:

x^2+6x+8x+48=0

(x^2+6x)+(8x+48)=0

x(x+6)+8(x+6)=0

(x+8)(x+6)=0

Using zero product property:

(x+8)=0\text{ (or) }(x+6)=0

x+8=0\text{ (or) }x+6=0

x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6.

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:

\frac{-8+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-14}{2}=-7

Therefore, the equation x=-7 represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.

Answer:

Can't tell if it went through...

1. Shop A = 2x

2. Shop B = 2x - 580

3. Total = Shop A + Shop B

1949 = 2x + 2x - 580

4. Combine like terms

2x + 2x = 4x

1949 = 4x - 580

5. Add 580 to both sides (to remove -580 from right side)

1949 + 580 = 4x - 580 + 580

2529 = 4x

6. Divide both sides by 4 (to get x)

2529 / 4 = 4x / 4

632.25 = x

7. Shop A = 2x

2 * 632.25 = 1264.50

Shop A = 1264.50

8. Shop B = 2x - 580

2 * 632.25 - 580 = 684.50

Shop B = 684.50

Check: Shop A + Shop B = 1949

1264.50 + 684.50 = 1949

Shop A = 1264.50

Shop B = 684.50

Maru [420]

Answer:

45 people are members at the tennis club

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people in the tennis club be denoted as "x".

Since each of them donated $12.45, then total donated = 12.45x

Since they had $50.25 left over after paying the cost of $510 for the ball, then;

12.45x - 510 = 50.25

12.45x = 510 + 50.25

12.45x = 560.25

x = 560.25/12.45

x = 45

What is the area of a triangle with a base of 2.4 cm and a height of 0.8 cm?
Andrej [43]
The easiest way to find the area of a triangle is by doing 1/2 base x height. So halve the base, 2.4 / 2 = 1.2. Now do 1.2 x 0.8. Which equals 0.96.
