Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)
In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:
y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:
-3=a(0-1)^2+1
-3=a+1
-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x-1)^2+1
Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so
0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides
4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4
(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides
x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to
x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides
x=1±1/2
So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:
(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:
(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
Step-by-step explanation:
if I understand correctly, then the function is
t(x) = 8x
now we know, that for a specific n
t(n) = 200
that means
200 = 8n
n = 200/8 = 25
the function tells us, that for 25 trucks we need 200 tires.
A dilation can elongate or diminish a figure. It can
create an image the same as the original by using a scale factor. The scale
factor of a dilation is the ratio of corresponding side lengths. To
dilate a polygon, multiply the coordinates of each vertex by the scale
factor k and connect the vertices.
18 degrees F because
it dropped 12 degrees=10 hours
x degrees=15 hours
x is what you want to find out which is how many degrees it would drop in 15 hours.
12x15 then divided by 10 is 18.
