Something funny is that the x value of the vertex lies directl in the middle of the x intercepts
so
we see the x intercepts or 0's at x=8 and 2
the average is x=5
so find f(5) to find the y value of the vertex
f(5)=(5-8)(5-2)
f(5)=(-3)(3)
f(5)=-9
vertex is at (5,-9)
the actual way the teacher wants is to expand then compltete the square to get into the form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where the vertex is (h,k)
but whatever
verrtex is at (5,-9)
A because 5*4 = 20 that why its a
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the coordinates of midpoint is average of x value of endpoints and average of y value of endpoints
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
so,
it equals 12.49 or 12.5 depending on rounding
I hope this helps!
