Answer:  You will need to find the x-intercepts and the vertex

Step-by-step explanation: Use the information in the factors and some formulae.

The x- intercepts are the points where the parabola crosses the x-axis. The x-axis is where y = 0

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve:

x-2=0, so x = +2 and x +4 = 0, so x = -4    (you would plot these if creating the graph)

To find the vertex you need the Vertex Formula: x = -b/2a

b is the coefficient of the x term in the middle of the quadratic equation; you can just do the O and I parts of FOIL to get b:  -2x + 4x = 2x  You know a = 1 because x²  will have the implied (missing)(1).

Put the numbers in the Formula: x = -b/2a   x = -(2)/2(1)  -2/2 = -1  

-1 is the "x-value" of the vertex.  

The y value is the 'c' in the quadratic formula. You get that from the  L part of FOIL   -2 × 4 = -8 .

So, your coordinates for the vertex:  ( -1, -8 )

If you were creating a graph, you would plot that point, then draw the parabola starting there and through the x-intercepts.

Look at the pentagonal numbers. Use finite differences to determine which function represents the pattern.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

f(x) = 1.5x - 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the pattern represented by the pentagonal numbers is the sum of three triangular numbers.

The triangular number general formula

                      x (x + 1) / 2

For  example,

The sequence

1,     3,     6,      10

                                             *

                          *              *  *

         *           *   *          *   *  *

* ,    *  *,     *   *   *,     *   *   *  *

_____________________________

The pentagonal numbers

The sequence:

1, 5, 12, 22, 35

As shown in the picture can be divided into three triangles

Triangle 2

x (x + 1) / 2

Triangle 1 and 3  (they are triangles one unit smaller than 2)

n (n + 1) / 2

n= x-1

Replacing n

(x-1) ((x-1) + 1) / 2

(x-1) (x) / 2

(x-1) x / 2

______________

Function represents the pattern

Triangle 2  + (Triangle 1  +  Triangle 3)

Triangle 1  = Triangle 3

So then,

Triangle 2 + 2* Triangle 1

x (x +1) /2  + 2* (x -1) x/2

Rearranging

0.5 x (x +1) + x(x -1)

0.5x^2 + 0.5x + x^2 -x

(0.5 x^2 + x^2)  + (0.5x -x )

1.5 x^2 - 0.5 x

In an all boys school, the heights of the student body are normally distributed with a mean of 70 inches and a standard deviatio
almond37 [142]

Answer:

0.010

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = 63 inches

μ is the population mean = 70 inches

σ is the population standard deviation = 3 inches

For x shorter than 63 inches = x < 63

Z score = x - μ/σ

= 63 - 70/3

= -2.33333

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<63) = 0.0098153

Approximately to the nearest thousandth = 0.010

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student will be shorter than 63 inches tall, to the nearest thousandth is 0.010.

FIND M∠R (GIVING BRAINLIEST, 25 PTS)
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

<h2>76</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>
  • triangles
  • equation
  • PEMDAS
<h3>given:</h3>
  • M\angle T=2x+2
  • M\angle R=3x+1
<h3>tips and formulas:</h3>
  • this is an isosceles triangle since two sides are equal therefore \angle T=\angle S
  • a triangle contains 180°
<h3>let's solve:</h3>

according to the question

2x+2+2x+2+3x+1=180

solve:

  1. collect like terms:7x+5=180
  2. substract 5 from both sides:=>7x+5-5=180-5=>7x=175
  3. divide both sides by 7: =>7x/7=175/7
  • x=25

given:

M∠R=3x+1

substitute the value of x

3×25+1

75+1
