Answer:
for me the answer is letter B.
Answer:
The vertex is (2,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
ƒ(x) = –x^2 + 4x – 3
Factor out the negative
= -(x^2 -4x+3)
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to +3 and add to -4
-3*-1 = 3
-3+-1 = -4
f(x) = -( x-3)(x-1)
Find the zeros
0 = -( x-3)(x-1)
0 = x-3 0 = x-1
x=3 x=1
The x value of the vertex is 1/2 way between the two zeros
(3+1)/2 = 4/2 =2
To find the y value, substitute x=2 in
f(2) = -( 2-3)(2-1)
=-(-1)(1) = 1
The vertex is (2,1)
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a(n) = (-n)^3 where n = 1,2,3,...
Discussion:
The pattern 1,8,27, 64... is immediately recognizable as the the cube of the positive integers. But this question has a minus sign appearing before each entry, suggesting we try this:
- 1 = (-1)^3
-8 = (-2)^3
-27 = (-3)^3
-64 = (-4)^3
That's what the problem statement asked for
. The answer is equivalently
-1 * (n^3)
Thank you,
MrB
