Answer:
b=2 or b=-2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve absolute value equations the same as any other equation using inverse operations. However, the inverse operation for absolute value requires one special condition. Since absolute values change a number to a positive regardless if it has a negative sign, we have two possible answers. When we have the absolute value operation isolated, we will set it equal to both the negative and positive option.
We now have the absolute value isolated. We will set it equal to both 9 and -9.

Step-by-step explanation:
When simplifying an exponent a way to do is to expand the exponent. This means that it will now be
Whenever you see an x or y on the numerator and denominator cross it out because it is the same thing as 1
When you cross out all of the x's and y's the only variable left is y in the denominator. This means that the answer is
Answer:
A, D, E are true
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to complete the square to prove A. Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.
Now we can complete the square. Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x). Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16. So we add 16 to both sides.
We will do the addition on the right, no big deal. On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex. We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,
Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.
From this you can see that A is correct.
Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.
The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value. This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation. In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value. So the axis of symmetry is
x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.
We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x. When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5. So the y-intercept is (0, 5).
From this you can see that D is also correct.
To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x. I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice. Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0). That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.
