Answer:
<h3>
a. the vertex represents a minimum point</h3><h3>
b. f(x) = (x + 5)² - 5</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
a = 1 > 0 ← that means the parabola opens up, so the vertex is minimum of the function
b.

Answer:
x^3-x^2-11x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two numbers. We have:

Subtract the first equation from the second to get

And deduce

The two numbers are 3 and 11.
Answer: the second option !!!
Hi there!
To find the perpendicular slope you need to flip the fraction and change the sign. So 1/2=2/1 and tge original slope was positive, so the slope is -2. Now you sub in the point (-7,-4) in for x and y in the formula y=mx+b and solve for b (sub in 2 for m as well)
Y=mx+b
-4=-2*-7+b
-4=14+b
-4-14=b
B=-18
The equation is y=-2x-18
Hope this helps!
