Answer:
The answer is x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let y = f(x) = 3x - 2x^2
f(-2) = 3(-2) - 2(-2)^2 = p
= -6 - 8
= -14
= p
f(2.5) = 3(2.5) - 2(2.5)^2 = q
= 7.5 - 12.5
= -5
= q
b) graphing
c) From the graph, you should be able to verify the following:
i) f(0.5) = 3(0.5) - 2(0.5)^2 = 1
ii) 0.5 = 3x - 2x^2 or x = 1.3, 0.2
iii) the maximum occurs at
f(0.75) = 1.125
d) the equation for the line of symmetry is x = 0.75
20/3 - Take the 6 2/3, multiply the 6 and the 3 (6 x 3 = 18), then add the 2 (18 + 2 = 20). Put that number over the original 3 and you've got yourself a mixed number.
The coordinates of B would be (2, -4)
In order to find this, we need to know that the value of M's points will always be the average of A and B's points. This is because it is the midpoint. Therefore we can use the following formula.
Value of x
(A + B)/2 = M
(-8 + B)/2 = -3
-8 + B = -6
B = 2
Then we can do the same for the y values
Value of y
(A + B)/2 = M
(-2 + B)/2 = -3
-2 + B = -6
B = 4
