Answer and Step-by-step explanation: <u>Standard</u> <u>form</u> of a quadratic equation is expressed as: y=ax²+bx+c, while <u>vertex</u> <u>form</u> is written as:
y=a(x-h)²+k.
The similarities between standard and vertex forms is that they show if the graph of the equation has a <u>minimum</u> (when a>0) or <u>maximum</u> (a<0) and it's easier to determine the y-intercept: for standard, the value of c is the intercept; for vertex, the value k is the intercept.
The advantage of standard form is that you can determine the product and sum of the equation's roots, which is a method to determine them.
The advantages of vertex form are: easier to find the vertex of the graph, which is the pair (h,k) and the axis of symmetry, which is the value of h.
30-(11+(18-(48/8×2))+7)+15
= 30-(11+(18-12)+7)+15
= 30-(11+6+7)+15
= 30-24+15
= 21
ANSWER:
b) No
c) Yes
EXPLANATION:
b)
3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3
(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)
-72 = -21
Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.
c)
3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
4.5 = 4.5
Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.
(a^3 - 2a + 5) - (4a^3 - 5a^2 + a - 2)
=a^3 - 2a + 5 - 4a^3 + 5a^2 - a + 2
= -3a^3 + 5a^2 - 3a + 7
