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.

Eliza is two years younger than half her brother, Juan’s age. Write an equation to represent Eliza’s age. If Juan is 6 how old i
Natalka [10]
X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age

Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:

-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)

x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)

| basically,
v

x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.

6/2 - 2 = y

3 - 2 = y

1 = y

ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.

Please help I need the right answer ill give brainliest pleaseee helpppp
drek231 [11]

Answer:

y=3x+1, or the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see on the graph the line converges with the y-axis at (0, 1), so we can cross out the last two answers. Then we can also see that the slope is 3 on the graph and an equation that has x^2 must be a parabola. The answer is then narrowed down to the second option.
