we know that

If the vertex is on the y-axis, then the x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to zero

we are going to verify the vertex of each one of the functions to determine the solution

Remember that

The equation in vertex form of a vertical parabola is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where

(h,k) is the vertex

if a>0 -------> the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if a -------> the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximun)

<u>case A)</u> f(x)=(x-2)^{2}

This is a vertical parabola open upward

the vertex is the point (2,0)

therefore

The function f(x)=(x-2)^{2}  does not have a vertex on the y-axis

<u>case B)</u> f(x)=x(x+2)

f(x)=x(x+2)=x^{2}+2x

convert to vertex form

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

f(x)+1=x^{2}+2x+1

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)+1=(x+1)^{2}

f(x)=(x+1)^{2}-1

the vertex is the point (-1,-1)

therefore

The function f(x)=x(x+2) does not have a vertex on the y-axis

<u>case C)</u> f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)

f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)=x^{2}-2^{2}

f(x)=x^{2}-4

the vertex is the point (0,-4)

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to zero

therefore

The function f(x)=(x-2)(x+2) has a vertex on the y-axis

<u>case D)</u> f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)

f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)\\ \\f(x)= x^{2}-2x+x-2 \\ \\f(x)= x^{2} -x-2

convert to vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

f(x)+2= x^{2} -x

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

f(x)+2+0.25= x^{2} -x+0.25

f(x)+2.25= x^{2} -x+0.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

f(x)+2.25= (x-0.50)^{2}

f(x)=(x-0.50)^{2}-2.25

the vertex is the point (0.5,-2.25)

therefore

The function f(x)=(x+1)(x-2) does not have a vertex on the y-axis

<u>the answer is</u>

f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  x/8 = 15/24

Cross multiplying:

24x = 8*15

x = (8*15)/24

x = 5.

2.   5/6 = 35/x

5x = 6*35

5x = 210

x = 210/5

x = 42.

3.<em>  </em>18/42

Divide top and bottom by 6:

18 / 6 / 42/6

= 3/7.

4.  15/75

Divide top and bottom by 15:

= 1/5.

The function P(x) = –0.015x^2 + 1.2x – 11.5 gives the profit, in thousands of dollars, when a company sells a new product at x d
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The profit decreases by $ 375 for every $ 1 increase in the selling price.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the definition of the secant line we get that the average rate of change of P(x) = -0.015\cdot x^{2}+1.2\cdot x -11.5, where x is the selling price of the product, measured in dollars per unit, is:

r = \frac{P(55)-P(50)}{55-50} (1)

Now we evaluate the function at each bound:

x = 50

P(50) = -0.015\cdot (50)^{2}+1.2\cdot (50)-11.5

P(50) = 11

x = 55

P(55) = -0.015\cdot (55)^{2}+1.2\cdot (55)-11.5

P(55) = 9.125

Then, the average rate of change is:

r = \frac{9.125-11}{55-50}

r = -0.375

Hence, the profit decreases by $ 375 for every $ 1 increase in the selling price.

A local little league has a total of 90 players of whom 20% are left-handed. How many left-handed players are there? Please help
german
18

First you want to change the 20% into a decimal which is .20
Next you want to multiply 90 by .20 because that will give you the answer for 20% of 90
90x.20=18
