Answer:

True. The graph will shift down if we subtract a number from "b"

Step-by-step explanation:

"b" represents the y-intercept, or how high up on the y axis the graph intersects.

If we don't change anything except for the y-intercept, then the graph should only move up or down.

Because we are decreasing the value of "b" the y intercept will decrease, dragging the graph of y down.

Katyanochek1 [597]
  • Discriminant Formula: b² - 4ac, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant

So firstly, using our equation plug in the values into the discriminant formula and solve as such:

(-7)² - 4 × 3 × 4

49 - 48

1

So our discriminant is 1. <u>Since 1 is positive and a perfect square, this means that there are 2 real, rational solutions.</u>

Which statements are true about the graph of the function f(x) = x2 – 8x + 5? Check all that apply.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A, D, E are true

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to complete the square to prove A.  Do this by first setting the function equal to 0, then moving the 5 to the other side.

x^2-8x=-5

Now we can complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides.  Our linear term is 8 (from the -8x).  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we add 16 to both sides.

(x^2-8x+16)=-5+16

We will do the addition on the right, no big deal.  On the left, however, what we have done in the process of completing the square is to create a perfect square binomial, which gives us the h coordinate of the vertex.  We will rewrite with that perfect square on the left and the addition done on the right,

(x-4)^2=11

Now we will move the 11 back over, which gives us the k coordinate of the vertex.

(x-4)^2-11=y

From this you can see that A is correct.

Also we can see that the vertex of this parabola is (4, -11), which is why B is NOT correct.

The axis of symmetry is also found in the h value.  This is, by definition, a positive x-squared parabola (opens upwards), so its axis of symmetry will be an "x = " equation.  In the case of this type of parabola, that "x = " will always be equal to the h value.  So the axis of symmetry is

x = 4, which is why C is NOT correct, either.

We can find the y-intercept of the function by going back to the standard form of the parabola (NOT the vertex form we found by completing the square) and sub in a 0 for x.  When we do that, and then solve for y, we find that when x = 0, y = 5.  So the y-intercept is (0, 5).

From this you can see that D is also correct.

To determine if the parabola has real solutions (meaning it will go through the x-axis twice), you can plug it into the quadratic formula to find these values of x.  I just plugged the formula into my graphing calculator and graphed it to see that it did, indeed, go through the x-axis twice.  Just so you know, the values of x where the function go through are (.6833752, 0) and (7.3166248, 0).  That's why you need the quadratic formula to find these values.

I'm confused on how to create ratios
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Latoya:

cran : lem = 2 1/5 : 1 4/5

= 11/5 : 9/5

= 11 : 9

Lem : total = 9 : 20

Parker:

cran : lem = 2 1/2 : 3 1/2

= 5/2 : 7/2

= 5 : 7

Lem : total = 7 : 12

What is the vertex of the function x2 - 14x - 95 = 0?
monitta
I hope everythink is clearly :) If not just ask :)


answer for your question is starting when x^2-14x-95=0. Just Ignore this above this.
