Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = 2.5}

y = x² - 5x - 6

Rewrite into factored form by finding two numbers that sum up to -5 and multiply into -6. We can use the numbers -6 and 1:

y = (x - 6)(x + 1) is the equation in factored form.

There are zeroes at:

0 = x - 6

x = 6

0 = x + 1

x = -1

Find the x-value exactly half-way between the two zeroes to find the axis of symmetry:

(-1 + 6) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5

Therefore, the equation for the line of symmetry is:

x = 2.5

What is the area of a triangle with vertices (1,0) (5,0) (3,4)
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 8 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 21 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle with three vertices (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3) is given by the determinant of the following matrix:

A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&y_1&1\\x_2&y_2&1\\1_3&y_3&1\end{array}\right|

In this question:

Vertices (1,0) (5,0) (3,4). So

A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\5&0&1\\3&4&1\end{array}\right|

A = \pm 0.5(1*0*1+0*1*3+1*5*4-1*0*3-0*5*1-1*1*4)

A = \pm 0.5*(20-4)

A = \pm 0.5*16 = 8

The area of the triangle is of 8 units of area.
