Carry out the mult.: f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189]
Combine like terms: f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [ ]: f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c: a= -1, b=12, c=189
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), which here equals
x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or x = 6
This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.
Answer:
A, B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Me toooo! if anyone in these comments could answer my question, that'd be awesome!
One number be x
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=63
x+x+1+x+2=63
3x+3=63
3x=63-3
3x=60
x=60:3
x=20
smallest number = x=20
middle <span>number = x+1= 20+1=21
</span>largest<span><span><span> number = x+2</span> =20+2= 22</span>
