Step-by-step explanation:
75+ 25x
75+25(4)
75+100
175
Average speed the others are categorical.
First, we have to realize that this is factored form, so we have to put this in standard quadratic form using FOIL, which is a rule mandating how we multiply the numbers here. F stands for First, which means the first number inside the parentheses for both of them, then O means the first number in the first quantity(fancy word for parentheses) multiplied by the last number of the second quantity, and so forth. When you are done, you combine like terms
anyway, you end up with x²-12x-189, but you have to inverse all numbers because of the parentheses in front, so it becomes -x²+12x+189.
Now you can find the axis of symmetry uisng the equation -b=2a (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the standard quadratic form is a(x)²+b(x)+c already). So you do -12 / -2, which then becomes 6.
The axis of symmetry is 6

Answer: 3 units</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
The y coordinates are identical, so we just need to focus on the x coordinates.
Going from 0 to -3 is a distance of 3 units. Drawing out a number line might help.
Or we could apply subtraction and absolute value
|x1-x2| = |0-(-3)| = |0+3| = |3| = 3
which is the same as
|x2-x1| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3
The absolute value is to ensure the result is never negative. Distance is never negative.
Side note: if the y coordinates weren't the same, then we'd have to use either the pythagorean theorem or the distance formula.
