Answer:
u-shaped; y-intercept (0,6); symmetrical with respect to the y-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y = 2x² + 6
The graph would be the shape of that of a parabola. It can be u shaped or n shaped depending on the value of the coefficient of a comparing with the standard equation y = ax² + bx + c. If a > 0, it is u shape and if a < 0, it is n shape.
For this question, since a > 0 it would be u shaped and the intercept can be gotten by putting x = 0.
Therefore y = 0² + 6 = 0
The intercept is at (0,6) and is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis
We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse
x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x
x^2+36=100 Square each individual term
x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides
x^2=64 Combine like terms
sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides
x = 8 Simplify the square root
So our answer is x = 8
