How to convert to vertex form

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The vertex form of a quadratic is given by. y = a(x – h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. The "a" in the vertex form is the same "a" as. in y = ax2 + bx + c (that is, both a's have exactly the same value). The sign on "a" tells you whether the quadratic opens up or opens down.</span><span>

Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree. He walks

irina [24]

The height of tree is 8 feet

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree

At that point, Micah's eyes are 6 feet above the ground

And he is 9 feet from the image in the mirror.

To find : height of tree = ?

Let "n" be the height of tree

From the question, we can see there is a directly proportional relationship between heights and distances.

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.

$\frac{\text { height of micah eyes above ground }}{\text { distance of micah from mirror }}=\frac{\text { height of tree above the ground }}{\text { distance of tree from mirror }}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{6 \text { feet }}{9 \text { feet }}=\frac{n \text { feet }}{24 \text { feet }}} \\\\ {\frac{6}{9}=\frac{n}{24}} \\\\ {\text { n }=\frac{1}{3} \times 24} \\\\ {\text { n }=8}\end{array}$

Hence, the height of the tree is 8 feet

The coefficient of the ab term is

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

A coefficient is an integer that is written along with a variable or it is multiplied by the variable. For example, in the term 2x, 2 is the co-efficient.

Those variables which do not carry any number along with them, have a coefficient 1. For example, the term y has coefficient 1.

Solve by completing the square<br>3x2 + x - 2 = 0

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

3 x^2 + x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

x^2 + x/3 - 2/3 = 0

Add 2/3 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 = 2/3

Add 1/36 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 + 1/36 = 25/36

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1/6)^2 = 25/36

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1/6 = 5/6 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

x = 2/3 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

Answer: x = 2/3 or x = -1
