Write the equation of the quadratic function with roots 0 and 2 and a vertex at (1,5).

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(x-0)(x-2)

=a(x^2-2x)

=a(x^2-2x+1-1)

or y=a(x-1)^2-a

(1,5) lies on it.

5=a(1-1)^2-a

5=0-a

or a=-5

so y=-5(x-1)^2+5

How many terms are there in a geometric series if the first term is 4, the common ration is 3 and the sum of the series is 160

Marina CMI [18]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
r=3\\
S_n=160
\end{cases}$

$\bf 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{1-3} \right)\implies 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{-2} \right)\implies 160=-2(1-3^n)
\\\\\\
160=2(3^n-1)\implies \cfrac{160}{2}=3^n-1\implies 80=3^n-1
\\\\\\
81=3^n~~
\begin{cases}
81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 3^4
\end{cases}\implies 3^4=3^n\implies 4=n$
