Find the vertex. 4) y=-2x^2-8x-6

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexxx [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Vertex: (-2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of the vertex would be as follows;

x = -b/2a = 8/2(-2) = -8/4 = -2

respectively the y-coordinate of the vertex would be y(-2) = -2(-2)^2 - 8(-2) - 6 = -2(4) + 16 - 6 = - 8 + 10 = 2

Your vertex would be a maximum of (-2, 2)

* I say maximum as the coefficient of x^2 is -2, and it is less than zero so the parabola opens downward

What is the square root of m^6?
Nastasia [14]
Answer:
If m is nonnegative (ie not allowed to be negative), then the answer is m^3
If m is allowed to be negative, then the answer is either |m^3| or |m|^3

==============================

Explanation:

There are two ways to get this answer. The quickest is to simply divide the exponent 6 by 2 to get 6/2 = 3. This value of 3 is the final exponent over the base m. Why do we divide by 2? Because the square root is the same as having an exponent of 1/2 = 0.5, so
sqrt(m^6) = (m^6)^(1/2) = m^(6*1/2) = m^(6/2) = m^3
This assumes that m is nonnegative. 

---------------------------

A slightly longer method is to break up the square root into factors of m^2 each and then apply the rule that sqrt(x^2) = x, where x is nonnegative

sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2*m^2*m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = m*m*m
sqrt(m^6) = m^3
where m is nonnegative

------------------------------

If we allow m to be negative, then the final result would be either |m^3| or |m|^3. 

The reason for the absolute value is to ensure that the expression m^3 is nonnegative. Keep in mind that m^6 is always nonnegative, so sqrt(m^6) is also always nonnegative. In order for sqrt(m^6) = m^3 to be true, the right side must be nonnegative.

Example: Let's say m = -2
m^6 = (-2)^6 = 64
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(64) = 8
m^3 = (-2)^3 = -8
Without the absolute value, sqrt(m^6) = m^3 is false when m = -2

The two-way table shows the number of students in a class who like mathematics and/or science. Like Mathematics Do Not Like Math
coldgirl [10]

The missing number is 20.

<h3>What is the missing number?</h3>

Subtraction is the mathematical operation that is used to find the difference between two or more numbers.

In order to find the missing number, subtract the total number of people who like science and mathematics from the total number of people who like science

38 - 18 = 20
