Answer:

4 crickets

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day, the lizard ate 50% of the 10 crickets it was given. 50% of 10 is 5 (10 times 0.5), so five crickets remain. The next day, the lizard ate 20% of the 5 remaining crickets. 20% of 5 is 1 (5 times 0.2), and 5-1=4, so 4 crickets are left.

Factor the quadratic expression in the equation y=2x^2+28x+96 and use the factors to find the zeros of the equation. Then, use t
gavmur [86]

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation y=2x^2+28x+96. We are asked to find the zeros of equation by factoring and then find the line of symmetry of the parabola.

Let us factor our given equation as:

2x^2+28x+96=0

Dividing both sides by 2:

x^2+14x+48=0

Splitting the middle term:

x^2+6x+8x+48=0

(x^2+6x)+(8x+48)=0

x(x+6)+8(x+6)=0

(x+8)(x+6)=0

Using zero product property:

(x+8)=0\text{ (or) }(x+6)=0

x+8=0\text{ (or) }x+6=0

x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation are x=-8\text{ (or) }x=-6.

We know that the line of symmetry of a parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

We also know that x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is equal to the average of zeros. So x-coordinate of vertex of parabola would be:

\frac{-8+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-14}{2}=-7

Therefore, the equation x=-7 represents the line of symmetry of the given parabola.
