Find the vertex of f(x) = 3(x-7)(x+5)

Mathematics

Inessa05 [86]3 years ago

Answer:

The vertex is at (1, -108).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

f(x)=3(x-7)(x+5)

And we want to find its vertex point.

Note that this is in factored form. Hence, our roots/zeros are <em>x</em> = 7 and <em>x</em> = -5.

Since a parabola is symmetric along its vertex, the <em>x-</em>coordinate of the vertex is halfway between the two zeros. Hence:

\displaystyle x=\frac{7+(-5)}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1

To find the <em>y-</em>coordinate, substitute this back into the function. Hence:

f(1)=3((1)-7)((1)+5)=3(-6)(6)=-108

Therefore, our vertex is at (1, -108).

Answer:

vertex (1, -108)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the zeros

f(x) = 3(x-7)(x+5)

0 =  3(x-7)(x+5)

Using the zero product property

x-7 = 0   x+5 = 0

x = 7  x = -5

The x coordinate of the vertex is the average of the zeros

(7+-5)/2 = 2/2 =1

To find the y coordinate, substitute the x coordinate into the equation

y = 3(1-7)(1+5) = 3(-6)(6) = -108

163. The sum of an odd number and an even number is --
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

I would say C because,

Even + Even = Even.

Odd + Odd = Odd.

So simply, you can't have an even number if you add it to a odd.

Even + Odd = Odd

Splitting investments. Joan had $3,000 to invest. She invested part of it in an investment paying 8% and the remainder in an inv
loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that the invested amount in the investment paying 8% interest is a

Now, since the total amount invested = $3000.

Then, the amount invested in the investment that will be paying 10% interest can be represented as:

= $(3000-a)

Income earned on $a that is being invested in 8% interest = $a × 8/100 = $0.08a

Income earned from $(3000-a)  in the 10% investment is:

= $(3000-a)× 10/100

= $(300 - 0.1a)

Since total income of the two investment = $290;

Then;

0.08a + (300 - 0.1a) = 290

0.08a + 300 - 0.1a = 20-

300 - 0.02a = 290

-0.02a = -10

a = -10/-0.02

x = 500

Thus;

the amount invested in an investment paying 8% interest = $500

the amount invested in an investment paying 10% interest = $(3000 - 500) = $2500

The width of a rectangle is 1units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 42 units
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

w=l-1

∵A=l×w

∴A=l×(l-1)

⇒42=l²-l

⇒l²-l-42=0 (After subtracting 42 from both sides)

Two factors of 42 that add to give negative 1 :-7+6

∴ (l-7)(l+6)=0

∴ l=7 or l=-6

but remember that length is a scalar quantity, hence l≠6 but l=7.

I hope this helped you solve this math problem and made you better understand

Current research indicates that the distribution of the life expectancies of a certain protozoan is normal with a mean of 46 day
AysviL [449]

Answer: P(x ≥ 47) = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution of the life expectancies of a certain protozoan is normal, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancies of the certain protozoan.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 46 days

σ = 10.5 days

n = 49

The probability that a simple random sample of 49 protozoa will have a mean life expectancy of 47 or more days is expressed as

P(x ≥ 47) = 1 - P(x < 47)

For x = 47

z = (47 - 46)/(10.5/√49) = 0.67

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.0.75

P(x ≥ 47) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
