Answer:
x = - 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sketch represents
y = x² + bx + c
The graph crosses the y- axis at (0 , - 14), thus c = - 14
y = x² + bx - 14
Given the graph crosses the x- axis at (2, 0), then
0 = 2² + 2b - 14
0 = 4 + 2b - 14 = 2b - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )
10 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )
b = 5
y = x² + 5x - 14 ← represents the graph
let y = 0 , then
x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
The x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 2
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is midway between the x- intercepts, thus
the x- coordinate of the turning point is =
= - 2.5

is given by:
As definition of an ellipse is that locus of all the points in a plane such that it's distance from two fixed points called focii remains constant.
Consider two points (a,0) and (-a,0) on Horizontal axis of an ellipse:
Distance from (a,0) to (c,0) is = a-c =
Distance from (-a,0) to (c,0) is = a + c =
a -c + a +c
= a + a
= 2 a →(Option A )
