Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex would be the highest/lowest point so lets factor this first
when we factor we get
2(x^2+6x+8)
2(x+4) (x+2)
Using zero product property we find the 2 x values and x intercepts are
-4 and -2
the middle point of these points is -3
Substitute -3 for x and solve
2(-3+4) (-3+2)
2 * 1 * -1
2*-1
-2
(-3,-2) is the vertex
There is a Khana Academy video that explains everything you have to do and it’s the same page that you’re on
Answer: 2 inches, 3 inches, or 3.125 and 2.083
Explanations:
The simplest way is to take 20% of the 2.5 inches and go that much above & below 2.5 inches.
2.5 x 20% = 2.5 x 0.20 = 0.5
So 2.5 - 0.5 = 2 inches was predicted
And 2.5 + 0.5 = 3 inches was predicted.
The more complicated way is to see number + 20% of that number = 2.5, and what number - 20% = 2.5.
Which solution sounds more like what you’re doing in class right now?
If it’s the more complicated way:
0.8x = 2.5 (80% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 3.125 inches was predicted
1.2x = 2.5 (120% of the predicted rain value equals 2.5)
x = 2.083 inches was predicted
Sorry, this is probably confusing. Let me know what questions you have.
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle ABC with vertices A(0, 0), B(0, 4), and C(6, 0) is dilated to form a triangle A'B'C' with vertices A′(0, 0), B′(0, 10), and C′(15, 0). If the center of dilation is point A or A' (the origin), then

Since
- AB=4;
- A'B'=10;
- AC=6;
- A'C'=15,
then the scale factor of the dilation is
