Answer:

y = 0.96(x -√5)(x + √5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two zeros of this polynomial are (0, 0) and (5, 0), and the vertex is (2.5, -6), all of this info readily available from the graph.

The standard equation of a vertical parabola with vertex at (h, k) is

y - k = a(x - h)^2, where the vertex is represented by (h, k).  Since we know that the vertex is (2.5, -6), the equation for the given graphed parabola is

y + 6 = a(x - 2.5)^2

Since the graph of this parabola goes through the origin, (0, 0), the following must be true if we substitute 0 for both x and y:

0 + 6 = a(0 - 2.5)^2, or 6 = a(6.25).  Thus, a = 6/6.25, or a = 0.96.

The equation of this polynomial must then be:

y + 6 = 0.96(x - 2.5)^2, which is satisfied by both (0, 0) and (5, 0).

This equation can be rewritten as

y = 0.96(x^2 - 5x + 6.25) - 6 = 0.96x^2 - 4.8x + 6 - 6, or just

y = 0.96x^2 - 4.8x.  We must factor this.  Factoring out 0.96, we get:

y = 0.96(x^2 - 5), which can be factored further:  

y = 0.96(x -√5)(x + √5).  This is the fully factored form of the polynomial.

Isabell is thinking of a even number between 234 and 250 the sum of the digits is double the digit in the ones place what is Isa
Lelu [443]

Answer:

246.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 2xy, then

2 + x + y = 2y    and y must be even because the whole number is even.

y = 2 + x .

Now x must be even because y is even.

The only 2 numbers which fit are x = 4 and y = 6 so the number is 246.

Checking: 2+4+6 = 12 and 12 = 2*6.

katie bought 4 sweaters that each cost the same amount and 1 skirt that costs 20$. The items she bought cost a total of 160$ bef
Alika [10]
Hello, in order to solve this you first need to take $20 subtracted from 160 that leaves you with 140 next because she bought 4 sweaters you need to divide your remaining cash spent by 4 to get a total of $35 a sweater.

I hope this is what you were looking for, have a great day!

The vertices A(-2,-1), B(-3, 2), C(-1, 3), and D(0, 0) form a parallelogram. The vertices A'(-1, -2), B'(2, -3), C'(3,-1),
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for this transformation is that (x,y) will become (y,x) if it flips over y=x OR the y-axis and the x-axis.
