Answer:
y=negative 2x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
rise over run negative 14 over 7 equals negative 2 and the y intercept is 1
One side of the rectangle is x=2, the other side is 2x-5
Add up all the four sides: (x+2) +(x+2)+(2x-5)+(2x-5)=54
6x-6=54
x=10
#3: suppose the first integer is x, then the second one is x+2
x(x+2)=255
x^2 +2x -255 =0
factor the quadratic equation: (x+17)(x-15)=0
x=-17, which is impossible, or x=15
so the two positive integers are 15 and 17
Answer:
y = 2(x + 3)² - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Using the method of completing the square
y = 2x² + 12x + 14 ← factor out 2 from the first 2 terms
= 2(x² + 6x) + 14
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² + 6x
y = 2(x² + 2(3)x + 9 - 9 ) + 14
= 2(x + 3)² - 18 + 14
= 2(x + 3)² - 4 ← in vertex form
