Answer:

f(x) = -1(x+1)² + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -x² - 2x + 8

This is a down-opening parabola. Put the equation into vertex form. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum.

factor out the leading coefficient

f(x) = -1(x²+2x) + 8

Complete the square

 coefficient of x term: 2

 divide in half: 1

 square it: 1²

 use 1² to complete the square:

f(x) = -1(x²+2x+1²) + 1² + 8

f(x) = -1(x+1)² + 9

vertex (-1,9)

maximum value of f(x) = 9

Graph the lines by finding the points of intersection with the axes (intercepts):
Ostrovityanka [42]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following function:

y=-\frac{1}{2} (x-1)

2. You can rewrite it as following:

y=\frac{(-x+1)}{2}

3. The line intersects the y-axis when x=0, therefore:

y=\frac{(0+1)}{2}=\frac{1}{2} =0.5

4.  The line intersects the x-axis when y=0:

0=\frac{(-x+1)}{2}\\ 0=-x+1\\ x=1

5. Now plot the points (0, 0.5) and (1,0) in a graph , as you can see in the figure attached.

Therefore, the answer is: The points of intersection are (0, 0.5) and (1,0).

Solve the following application problem. Be sure to show your system of equations and the steps to solve the problem.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

  • boat: 6 mph
  • current: 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  speed = distance/time

For boat speed b and current speed c, the speed downstream is ...

  b +c = (16 mi)/(2 h) = 8 mi/h

The speed upstream is ...

  b -c = (16 mi)/(4 h) = 4 mi/h

Adding the two equations eliminates the c term:

  2b = 12 mi/h

  b = 6 mi/h . . . . . divide by 2

Solving the second equation for c, we get ...

  c = b -4 mi/h = 6 mi/h -4 mi/h = 2 mi/h

The speed of the boat in still water is 6 mi/h; the current is 2 mi/h.

Someone please help??????
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) x=15\\b) AD\ is\ not\ parallel\ tp BC

Step-by-step explanation:

As\ we\ know\ that,\\Angle\ D=3x\\Angle\ A=2x\\Angle\ B=90\\Angle\ C=x\\The\ Angle\ Sum\ Property\ Of\ A\ Quadrilateral\ states\ that\ the\ sum\ of\ all\\ the\ interior\ angles\ of\ a\ quadrilateral\ is\ 180.\\Hence,\\ \angle D+ \angle A + \angle B + \angle C=360\\3x+2x+90+x=180\\3x+2x+x=180-90\\6x=90\\x=15\\Hence, x=15

Hence,\\As\ Angle\ A\ and\ Angle\ B\ are\ co-interior\ angles, if\ they\ are\\ supplementary\ then\ AD \parallel BC.\ Lets\ check\ that\ out.\\Hence,\\Angle\ A=2x=2*15=30\\Angle\ B=90\ [Given]\\Hence,\\As\ 90+30\neq 180,\\Angle\ A +Angle\ B\neq 180\\Hence,\\As\ Angle\ A and\ Angle\ B\ are\ not\ supplementary,  AD\ will\ not\ be\ parallel\ to\ CB.

Help! Geometry question!! Photo attached!

The triangles are not the same size so a dilation made the original one smaller and a translation moved it to map ABC to A'B'C'.
