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.

Azul has 4 green picks and no orange picks. You add orange picks so that they are 2 orange picks for every 1 green pick. How man
Ad libitum [116K]

Ratio of orange:green = 2:1


If there are 4 green picks then there are 8 orange picks.


Total number of picks = 4 + 8 = 12


Answer: There are now 12 picks in total.

Given:

ΔONP and ΔMNL.

To find:

The method and additional information that will prove ΔONP and ΔMNL similar by the AA similarity postulate?

Solution:

According to AA similarity postulate, two triangles are similar if their two corresponding angles are congruent.

In ΔONP and ΔMNL,

\angle ONP\cong \angle MNL       (Vertically opposite angles)

To prove ΔONP and ΔMNL similar by the AA similarity postulate, we need one more pair of corresponding congruent angles.

Using a rigid transformation, we can prove

\angle NOP\cong \angle NML

Since two corresponding angles are congruent in ΔONP and ΔMNL, therefore,

\Delta ONP\sim \Delta MNL        (AA postulate)

Therefore, the correct option is A.
