Answer: Assume c = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume c = 0
Using the formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex, b can be calculated in terms of a:
B can then be substituted into the quadratic equation, along with the coordinates of the vertex, to solve a:
AND
Substituting into the quadratic equation:
Because a is negative, the parabola opens up.
Answer: C is correct, 4x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
You will add the two equations...
4x-8=0
Now you need to move the -8 over, which reverses its sign to positive.
4x=8
Answer:
x= 6.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point
Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case
Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b
The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm
General formulae is;
a² +b² =c²
x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²
x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09
x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms
x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x
191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x
191.95/29.4 =x
x=6.5 cm
