To answer this, you need to know the general form of an absolute value function. the equation for this is f(x) = a|x - h| + k, and in this equation, the vertex is (h, k).

with that information, you can see that your vertex will be (-5, 7). you must take the negative for 5 because the general equation states that your h value is usually subtracted from x. to check your vertex, try plugging it into your general equation:
f(x) = a|x - (-5)| + 7
f(x) = a|x + 5| + 7 ... you see that this matches your given equation. this last part here was just to show why your 5 must be negative; your answer is bolded.

Solve using the quadratic formula. Show all work. Write each solution in simplest form. No decimals.

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation is,

12a² + 9a + 7 = 0

By comparing this equation with standard quadratic equation,

hx² + kx + c = 0

h = 12, k = 9 and c = 7

By using quadratic formula,

a = $\frac{-k\pm\sqrt{k^2-4hc}}{2h}$

= $\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(12)(7)}}{2(12)}$

= $\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{81-336}}{2(12)}$

= $\frac{-9\pm\sqrt{-255}}{24}$

= $\frac{-9\pm i\sqrt{255}}{24}$

a = $\frac{-9+ i\sqrt{255}}{24},\frac{-9- i\sqrt{255}}{24}$

Therefore, Option B will be the correct option.

Simplify. (−5p4z6u)3

sineoko [7]

The rules of exponents tell you that you can distribute the exponent to each of the factors. When one already has an exponent, those exponents multiply.
$(-5p^{4}z^{6}u)^{3}=(-5)^{3}\cdot(p^{4})^{3}\cdot(z^{6})^{3}\cdot u^{3}\\\\=-125p^{4\cdot 3}z^{6\cdot 3}u^{3}\\\\=-125p^{12}z^{18}u^{3}$
