Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the dilation rule is . It means the center of dilatation is point Q and scale factor is 2.5.
Scale factor is the ratio of distance from center to the image of a point and distance from center to the corresponding point.
It is given that QU=4 and scale factor = 2.5.
Multiply both sides by 4.
We know that
The distance between U' and U is 6 units.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
a) axis of symmetry: <em> </em><em>x</em> = <em>h</em>
b) Vertex: (3, 11).
c/d) Maximum point = vertex (3, 11).
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Note:</u></em><em> </em>This post will only provide the answers for parts a through d, in accordance with Brainly's Guidelines.
Given the quadratic equation, y = – 2x² + 12x - 7, where a = -2, b = 12, and c = -7:
<h3> </h3><h3>a) What is equation of the axis of symmetry?</h3>The <u>axis of symmetry</u> is an imaginary line that divides the graph of a parabola into two symmetrical parts. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, (<em>h</em>, k). Hence, the axis of symmetry is often represented by the following equation: x = h.
<h3 /><h3>b) What is the vertex?</h3>We can find the x-coordinate of the vertex by using the following formula:
Substitute the given values for a = -2, and b = 12 into the formula:
Hence, the x-coordinate of the vertex is 3.
Substitute x = 3 into the given quadratic equation to find its corresponding y-coordinate:
y = – 2x² + 12x – 7
y = – 2(3)² + 12(3) – 7
y = –2(9) + 36 – 7
y = – 18 + 36 – 7
y = 11
Therefore, the <u>vertex</u> of the given quadratic equation is (3, 11).
<h3 /><h3>c/d) Does the equation have a maximum or minimum? What is the maximum/minimum?</h3>The value of the "<em>a</em>" coefficient in the quadratic equation, y = <u>a</u>x² + bx + c, determines whether a given parabola has either a minimum, or a maximum.
- If <em>a</em> > 1, then it means that the graph of a parabola opens <u>upward</u>, and the vertex is its <u><em>minimum</em></u> point.
- If <em>a</em> < 0, then the graph of a parabola opens downward, and the vertex is its <u><em>maximum</em></u> point.
Since the value of our given quadratic equation is a = -2, then it means that its graph opens <em>downward</em>, and that the <u>vertex is its maximum point</u>.
Attached is a screenshot of the graph, where it shows the vertex occurring at point (3, 11), for which the axis of symmetry goes through at x = 3.
