Answer:

Every parabola has a turning point called the axis of symmetry,so for this question you just have to find the turning points

x turning point= -b/2a,and the y turning point is gotten by replacing the value of x in the equation

y=(x+1)(x-4)

=x^2-3x-4

a is 1,b is -3 and c is -4

x= -(-3)/2(1)

=1.5

and y=x^2-3x-4

=1.5^2-3(1.5)-4

= -6.25

therefore the axis of symmetry is (1.5,-6.25)

I hope this helps

David was trying to sleep one night but there was too much noise around him? His clock ticked every 5 seconds , a tap was drippi

Monica [59]

Answer:

A) 420 seconds = 7 minutes

B) 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A) After how many second would all three things happen together again?

Solution:

His clock ticked every 5 seconds , a tap was dripping every 7 seconds and his pet dog snored every 12 seconds. It all happens simultaneously = 5*7*12=420 seconds

B) How many times would all three things happen together again between midnight and one o'clock

Since all these events happen together after every 420 sec = 7 mins and there are 60 mins between midnight and 1 o'çlock , thus 60/7 = 8 times ....
