There isnt enough information to solve the question, answer is E.
The correct question is
<span>What are the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the function given below?
y = x</span>²<span>-2x-35
step 1
convert the equation in the vertex form
y+35=x</span>²-2x
y+35=(x²-2x+1-1)
y+35+1=(x²-2x+1)
y+36=(x-1)²------> equation in the vertex form
the vertex is the point (1,-36)
the answer Part a) is
the vertex is the point (1,-36)
Part b) Find the x-intercepts
we know that
the x-intercepts is when y=0
so
y+36=(x-1)²
for y=0
(x-1)²=36
(+/-)(x-1)=√36-------> (+/-)(x-1)=6
(+)(x-1)=6------> x=6+1-----> x=7
(-)(x-1)=6-----> x=1-6-----> x=-5
the x-intercepts are the points
(7,0) and (-5,0)
the answer part b) is
the x-intercepts are the points (7,0) and (-5,0)
the total answer is the option
<span>A. Vertex: (1, -36); x-intercepts: (7, 0) and (-5, 0)</span>
Answer:
If two figures are similar, then the correspondent sides are related by a constant factor.
For example, if the base of one side of one of the figures has a length L, then the correspondent side of the other figure has a length k*L where k is the scale factor.
Let's start with the two left triangles.
In the smaller one the base is 5, and the base of the other triangle is 15.
Then we will have:
15 = k*5
15/5 = k = 3
The scale factor is 3.
Then we will have that:
a = scale factor times the correspondent side in the smaller triangle:
a = k*3 = 3*3 = 9
a = 9
For the other two triangles, the base of the smaller triangle is 12, while the base of the larger triangle is 20.
Then we will have the relation:
12*k = 20
k = (20/12) = 10/6 = 5/3
The scale factor is 5/3
This means that the unknown side b is given by:
b*(5/3) = 15
b = (3/5)*15 = 3*3 = 9
b = 9.
