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)
Answer:
11. parallelogram, rectangle
12. parallelogram, rhombus
13. parallelogram, square
[15-0] would be a numerical expression for this. :P
The US equivalent of "liters to meters" would be something like
"quarts to yards", which is equally meaningless.
Liters and meters don't even measure the same thing. Liters describe
volume, whereas meters describe length or distance. They don't convert
to each other .
If volume units could be converted to length units, then you (or somebody
with a slightly better grasp of his math) would be able to figure out how many
inches of gas he put into his car last week, and the cost of a foot of milk.
Student B:
1/2 / 4
= 1/2 x 1/4
= 1/8
student A:
2/3 / 6
= 2/3 x 1/6
= 1/9
student C:
4/5/ 8
= 4/5 x 1/8
= 1/10
answer
student B: 1/8 of a mile per minute
student A: 1/9 of a mile per minute
student C: 1/10 of a mile per minute
