Find vertex of: y=(x-4)(x+8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(-2,-36)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=(x-4)(x+8)

<u>1) Find the zeros of the parabola</u>

The zero-product property states that any value, when multiplied by 0 will equal 0. Therefore, to make y=0, either (x-4)=0 OR (x+8)=0.

Therefore, x=4 and x=-8.

<u>2) Find the x-coordinate of the vertex</u>

To do this, we take the average of our zeros.

\frac{4+(-8)}{2} \\=\frac{-4}{2} \\=-2

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the vertex is -2.

<u>3) Find the y-coordinate of the vertex</u>

Plug the x-coordinate back into the original equation

y=(-2-4)(-2+8)\\y=(-6)(6)\\y=-36

Therefore, the y-coordinate of the vertex is -36.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (-2,-36).

I hope this helps!

State if each set of three numbers can be the lengths of a triangle. <br><br> 6 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm.
madam [21]

Answer:

This set cannot be the sides of a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have a triangle, the sum or 2 given sides must be greater than the third, or the endpoints cant meet. In this case, 2+3 = 5, which is less than 6. Therefore, this is not a triangle.

Find the value of y<br><br> y + 5 = 2x + 6
Eddi Din [679]
You have to isolate the y, so just subtract 5 from both sides to get:
y + 5 - 5 = 2x + 6 -5
y= 2x + 1

Hope it makes sense.
