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

What is bigger 1/3 or 3/5

raketka [301]

$Method\ 1:$

$\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1\cdot5}{3\cdot5}=\dfrac{5}{15}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{5\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{15}\\\\\dfrac{3}{15} < \dfrac{9}{15}\ therefore\ \dfrac{3}{5}\ is\ bigger$

$Method\ 2:$

$\dfrac{1}{3} < \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1.5}{3}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5} > \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2.5}{5}\\\\therefore\ \dfrac{3}{5}\ is\ bigger$

Identify the solution of the inequality |4x − 2| > 14 and the graph that represents it.

kodGreya [7K]

The solution to the inequality |4x − 2| > 14 is x > 4 and x < -3

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality is an expression that shows the non equal comparison of two or more numbers and variables.

Given the inequality:

|4x − 2| > 14

Hence:

4x - 2 > 14 or -(4x - 2) > 14

x > 4 or x < -3

The solution to the inequality |4x − 2| > 14 is x > 4 and x < -3
