Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Number of scorings (both Teams) = 18

Let :

x = number of 5 point score ; y = number of 2 point score

Total points scored = 34 + 29 = 63

x + y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 63 - - (2)

From (1)

y = 18 - x

In (2) ; we have ;

5x + 2(18 - x) = 63

5x + 36 - 2x = 63

3x + 36 = 63

3x = 63 - 36

3x = 27

x = 9

9 5-point plays

The axis of symmetry for the graph of the function is f(x) = 1/4 x2 +
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/4 x²+bx+10

the derivate is : f'(x) = 1/2 x +b

you have : f'(6)=0

1/2 (6)+b=0

3+b =0

b = -3

so f(x) = 1/4 x²-3x+10.......f(6) =1/4(6)² -3(6)+10 =9-18+10 =1

f(x) = 1/4(x-6)²+1... the vertex form
