Answer:
Vertex is (-5, -1)
(-3, 3) is a point on the parabola.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² + 10x + 24
Let (h, k) be the vertex
h = -b/2a = -10/2(1) = -5
k = f(-5) = (-5)^2 + 10(-5) + 24
= 25 - 50 + 24 = -1
Vertex is (-5, -1)
Now, let x be some value different than -5, say -3
f(-3) = (-3)^2 + 10(-3) + 24
= 9 - 30 + 24 = 3
So, (-3, 3) is a point on the parabola.
4x:3x and 4x+3x=63 --> 7x=63 --> x=9, so to find the bigger number (4x) take 4*9=36
