What are the coordinates of the vertex of the function f(x)=x^2+10x−3? (–5, –28) (–5, 28) (5, –28) (5, 28)

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

(-5,-28)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=x^2+10x - 3$

Required

Find the coordinates of the vertex

Given that the function is a quadratic function;

The general form of a quadratic function is

$f(x)= ax^2+bx +c$

By comparison;

$a = 1\ b = 10\ and\ c = -10$

To calculate the coordinates of the vertex;

we start by calculating the x-coordinate;

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

Substitute 10 for b and 1 for a

$x = \frac{-10}{2*1}$

$x = \frac{-10}{2}$

$x = -5$

Substitute $x = -5$ in the given function;

$y=x^2+10x - 3$

$y=(-5)^2+10*-5 - 3$

$y=25-50 - 3$

$y=-28$

<em>Hence, the coordinates of the vertex is (-5,-28)</em>

16x 2 + 8x - 15 Mathematics?

Gala2k [10]

If you're factoring, your answer is

(4x - 3)(4x + 5)

You'll work it out this way:

16x^2 + 8x - 15

Since there's no GCF here, you multiply the first and third terms, giving you -240. Your next step is to find two numbers that have a sum of 8 and a product of -240. These numbers are 20 and -12. Plug those in and you've got:

16x^2 + 20x - 12x - 15

From here you divide it into two binomials. These are (16x^2 + 20x) and (-12x - 15).
When you take out the greatest common factors (4x and -3), they become:

4x(4x + 5) - 3(4x + 5)

Then you group what's outside of the parentheses together (4x - 3)
And bring what's inside of the parentheses down (4x + 5).
This brings your answer to

(4x - 3)(4x + 5)

1. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line passing through (-3,3) with a slope of 1.

PIT_PIT [208]

1)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-3=1[x-(-3)] \\\\\\ y-3=1(x+3)\implies y-3=x+3\implies y=x+6$

2)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{12}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{12-2}{1-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{10}{1+4}\implies \cfrac{10}{5}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-2=2[x-(-4)]\implies y-2=2(x+4) \\\\\\ y-2=2x+8\implies y=2x+10$
