B=5
You need to get b by itself on the left side. 4b is multiplying 4 to b. You need to the opposite when you want the variable by itself. You would divide 4 to each side. 4 cancels out on the b so it turns into b. Then 4 divided by 20 is 5. B=5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4b= 20

to get b, you simply divide by 4

4b/4= 20/4

b= 5

Here is a sketch of y=x^2+bx+c The curve intersects

atroni [7]

Answer:

y = 18 and x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2+bx+c To find the turning point, or vertex, of this parabola, we need to work out the values of the coefficients b and c. We are given two different solutions of the equation. First, (2, 0). Second, (0, -14). So we have a value (-14) for c. We can substitute that into our first equation to find b. We can now plug in our values for b and c into the equation to get its standard form. To find the vertex, we can convert this equation to vertex form by completing the square. Thus, the vertex is (4.5, –6.25). We can confirm the solution graphically Plugging in (2,0) :

y=x2+bx+c

0=(2)^2+b(2)+c

y=4+2b+c

-2b=4+c

b=-2+2c

Plugging in (0,−14) :

y=x2+bx+c

−14=(0)2+b(0)+c

−16=0+b+c

b=16−c

Now that we have two equations isolated for b , we can simply use substitution and solve for c . y=x2+bx+c 16 + 2 = y y = 18 and x = -2
