2/7(2s + 3) =
(2/7)2s + (2/7)3 =
4/7s + 6/7
To graph y = 4, we make a horizontal line at 4 on the y axis. See image 1
Since it is a horizontal line on the y axis, no matter the input you have for x, the y value is going to be 4. So the points <span> (4, ) (5, ) = </span><span> (4, 4) (5,4 )
For your point ( , 2.59), this is saying y = 2.59 The missing value would be 0. our points are below assuming the information given is complete:
</span>(4, ) (5, ) ( ,2.59) = (4, 4) (5,4 ) (0,2.59)
You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).
Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the quadratic equation
This is a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex is a maximum
Find the x-intercepts of the quadratic equation
The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero
so
For y=0
Solve the quadratic equation
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have
so
substitute in the formula
therefore
This parabola has two x-intercepts representing the times when the dolphin's height above water is zero feet
