Answer:
height ≈ 11.9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Construct a perpendicular bisector from the vertex to the base, thus splitting the triangle into 2 right triangles.
Using the sine ratio in one of these right triangles, then
sin48° = ( the opposite is the height h )
sin48° = ( multiply both sides by 16 )
16 × sin48° = h , thus
h ≈ 11.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation
now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
