The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
Answer:
the compound probability is 1/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 for the spinner x 1/2 for the coin
The answer is 81 because 27 x 3
Answer:
the answer is 96°
Step-by-step explanation:
it is an isosceles triangle as it's 2 sides are equal.
for an isosceles triangle, the angles made by the equal sides with the third side are equal.
and the sum of all angles in a triangle = 180°
42 + 42 + x = 180
x = 180 - 84
X = 96°
Answer:
(1 gallon)/(100 ft^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 gallon)/(100 ft^2) is a good conversion factor. We could also use (100 ft^2)/(1 gallon), but I like the first, since the calculation is simpler:
(300ft^2)*/(1 gallon)/(100 ft^2) = 3 gallons [I like multiplication better than division, and especially here, since 300/100 is 3, if my memory is correct.
