First, we have to realize that this is factored form, so we have to put this in standard quadratic form using FOIL, which is a rule mandating how we multiply the numbers here. F stands for First, which means the first number inside the parentheses for both of them, then O means the first number in the first quantity(fancy word for parentheses) multiplied by the last number of the second quantity, and so forth. When you are done, you combine like terms

anyway, you end up with x²-12x-189, but you have to inverse all numbers because of the parentheses in front, so it becomes -x²+12x+189.

Now you can find the axis of symmetry uisng the equation -b=2a (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the standard quadratic form is a(x)²+b(x)+c already). So you do -12 / -2, which then becomes 6.

The axis of symmetry is 6

Answer: Yes it is.

Step-by-step explanation: So we are already told that segment AC is congruent to segment DC. They both have a right angle, as indicated by the angle symbol, and they share side-length BC.

According to the Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem, two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding, congruent leg are congruent triangles. AC and DC are hypotenuses and they are congruent. And BC, the shared side, is a corresponding congruent leg. And since they are both right triangles, we then know that the HL Theorem applies.

Nikita's distance from her for the second part of the race was 1.5 kilometers.

Since Nikita ran a 5-kilometer race in 39 minutes (0.65 of an hour) without training beforehand, and in the first part of the race, her average speed was 8.75 kilometers per hour, while for the second part of the race, she started to get tired, so her average speed dropped to 6 kilometers per hour, to determine which expression represents Nikita's distance for the second part of the race the following calculation must be performed:

8.75 x 0.65 + 6 x 0 = 5.68
8.75 x 0.50 + 6 x 0.15 = 5.275
8.75 x 0.40 + 6 x 0.25 = 5
100 = 60
40 = X
40 x 60/100 = X
24 = X
39 - 24 = 15
15 = 1/4 hour
6/4 = 1.5

Therefore, Nikita's distance from her for the second part of the race was 1.5 kilometers.
