Consider the problem of finding the line of symmetry and vertex of the quadratic equation f(x) =x^2-8x+15 What is the error in t

he solution below?
  x^2-8x+15=0
x=-8/2 =-8/2=-4 line of symmetry
8^2-8x+15=0
 (-4)^2-8(-4)+15=0
16+32+15=0
y=63
(-4,63) vertex 

A.
The solution is correct.
B.
The line of symmetry should have been 4 instead of –4.
C.
The vertex is incorrect; it should have been {–4, 53}.
D.
-4^2 should have been squared as –16 instead of 16.

\bf \textit{ vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}\\\\
\begin{array}{llccll} f(x) = &{{ 1}}x^2&{{ -8}}x&{{ +15}}\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad  {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)

please help me :( I need help
slava [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines l and m are the parallel lines and 't' is a transversal line,

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angle postulate]

∠5 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles theorem]

∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Transitive property]

Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Alternate exterior angles theorem]

I honestly don’t know. But the square in the bottom of the triangles indicate that it is a right triangle equaling 90 degrees. You can try using that along with other knowledge of right triangles you have. Could you possibly use Pythagorean theorem also?

A carnival charges $6 for admission and $2.50 per ride. You have $50 to spend at the carnival. Which of the following inequaliti
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

6+2.5r\leq 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

The options regarding the inequalities are not listed, though we can still proceed to write the inequality.

From the problem statement you cannot spend more than $50

and you are charged admission fee of $6 flat

a ride cost $2.50 per ride

the number of rides is given as r

yet in all you must not go beyond your limit

Therefore the inequalities can be presented as

6+2.5r\leq 50
