Answer:
vertex = (- 2, - 36)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a parabola in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
= - 
f(x) = 5x² + 20x - 16 is in standard form
with a = 5, b = 20 and c = - 16
= - 
= - 2
Substitute x = - 2 into f(x) for corresponding y- coordinate
f(- 2) = 5(- 2)² +20(- 2) - 16 = 20 - 40 - 16 = - 36
vertex = (- 2, - 36)
Answer:
Hence, 5.64 centimeters of more rain fell in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of rain that fell in Dubaku's hometown is: 8 centimeters.
Amount of rain that fell in Elliot's hometown is: 2.36 centimeters.
We are asked to find how much more rain fell in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town so it is calculated as the difference between the rain in both of there towns and is given by:
Difference in rain= 8-2.36
Difference in rain= 5.64 centimeters.
Answer:
x=3, -1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x^2-20x-3=0
Factor.
(x-3)(7x+1)=0
x-3=0 ⇒ x=3
7x+1=0 ⇒7x=-1 ⇒x= -1/7
