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)
\\\\\\
\textit{so the line of symmetry will be at }x=-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}

80000 times 60 plus 89
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

4,800,089

Step-by-step explanation:

You must multiply 80000 by 60 first, which an easy way to solve is multiply 8 by 6 and then add the amount of zeroes in both of those numbers so 48, and then 5 zeroes. So 4,800,000. Then you want to add 89.

What are the extremes of the following proportion 3/15 = 12/60
zalisa [80]
In a proportion there are letters assigned to represent various numbers. a, b, c, and d.

a, b, c, and d are 4 non-zero rational numbers that are terms of proportion.

a/b = c/d  or a:b = c:d

a and d are the end terms or known as the extremes.
b and c are the middle terms or known as the means.

With this information, we can gather that the extremes of the following proportion are 3 and 60.

3/15 = 12/60 ; a/b = c/d
a = 3 ; b = 15 ; c = 12 ; d = 60

3 and 60 are the extremes
15 and 12 are the means
