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.

Frank needs to save $600 to buy a set of golf clubs. He plans to save $75 per month. Write an equation that Frank can solve to d
Dmitrij [34]

Since, Frank needs to save $600 to buy a set of golf clubs. He plans to save $75 per month.

Now, we have to determine the amount of money still he has to save (y) in relation to the number of months (x) in which he has saved money.

Let 'y' be the amount of money he still have to svae.

Let 'x' be the number of months he has saved money.

Total money saved yet = $75 \times x= $75x

He has to save $600 in total.

So, Money he still have to save = 600 - 75x

So, y=600-75x is the required equation.

After being hit, the puck travels along the ice at a constant speed. What might cause his motion to change?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

<em>Hi! Todo here!! UwU</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Even if the puck is on ice, I wouldn't automatically assume no friction. Otherwise hockey pucks could be tapped slightly and potentially go across entire arenas. I'd say include at least a small friction force opposing motion.

<em>Hope This Helps!!!</em>
