The standard equation is y=ax^2+bx+k and the vertex way is y=a(x-h)(x-h)+x
so the coordinate for x is -b/2a, for your problem a=-4   b=-16 so the coordinate for x is -(-16)/(2*(-4))=-2. Now you have to replace x=-2 in your equation y=-4(-2)^2-16(-2)-11= 5.
The vertex is (-2, 5)

Answer:

(a) α = 60°, β = 30°

(b) α ≈ 67.4°, β ≈ 22.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do (a) and (b) as examples.  Make sure your calculator is set to degrees, not radians.

(a) For α, we're given the opposite and adjacent sides, so use tangent.

tangent = opposite / adjacent

tan α = √300 / 10

tan α = √3

α = 60°

Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, we know that β = 30°.  But we can use tangent again to prove it:

tan β = 10 / √300

tan β = 1 / √3

tan β = √3 / 3

β = 30°

(b) For α, we're given the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.  So use cosine.

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos α = 15 / 39

cos α = 5 / 13

α ≈ 67.4°

Again, we know that β = 22.6°, but let's show it using trig.  We're given the opposite side and hypotenuse, so use sine:

sin β = 15 / 39

sin β = 5 / 13

β ≈ 22.6°

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would do 5 multiplied by the numerator and then make it a mixed number so 5×5 = 25/8 as a mixed number its 3 and 1/8 so it falls between 2 and 4
