Below are suppose the be the questions:
a. factor the equation
<span>b. graph the parabola </span>
<span>c. identify the vertex minimum or maximum of the parabola </span>
<span>d. solve the equation using the quadratic formula
</span>
below are the answers:
Vertex form is most helpful for all of these tasks.
<span>Let </span>
<span>.. f(x) = a(x -h) +k ... the function written in vertex form. </span>
<span>a) Factor: </span>
<span>.. (x -h +√(-k/a)) * (x -h -√(-k/a)) </span>
<span>b) Graph: </span>
<span>.. It is a graph of y=x^2 with the vertex translated to (h, k) and vertically stretched by a factor of "a". </span>
<span>c) Vertex and Extreme: </span>
<span>.. The vertex is (h, k). It is a maximum if "a" is negative; a minimum otherwise. </span>
<span>d) Solutions: </span>
<span>.. The quadratic formula is based on the notion of completing the square. In vertex form, the square is already completed, so the roots are </span>
<span>.. x = h ± √(-k/a)</span>
For this case, the first thing we must do is apply the law of the sine.
We then have the following expression:
sine (65) / x = sine (104) / 36
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (sine (65) / sine (104)) * (36)
x = 33.6 feet
Answer:
The distance between the sandbox and garden is:
x = 33.6 feet
The area of the garden 10 ft•50 ft= 500 sq ft
