Answer:

Vertex is (-4, -18)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = ax^{2} +bx +c

Let (h, k) be the vertex

An easy way to find h is to use the formula h = -b/2a

In your case where f(x) = x^{2} +8x - 2   a = 2 and b = 8

So, h =  -8/2(1) = -8/2 = -4

Substitue -4 in for x to find k

k = (-4^{2}) + 8(-4) - 2

  = (16) - 32 - 2

  = 16 - 32 - 2

  = -18

Vertex is (-4, -18)

Note:  Another way to find the vertex is to complete the square, but this can really be difficult in some cases

P partitions GR in ratio 2:4. GR is 36cm. How long is GP and PR?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

12 cm and 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is divided in the ratio 2 : 4 = 2x : 4x ( x is a multiplier )

The sum is therefore

2x + 4x = 36

6x = 36 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 6

Thus

GP =  2x = 2 × 6 = 12 cm

PR = 4x = 4 × 6 = 24 cm

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom-right most cell tells us that the total number of students that responded to the survey is 310 students.

To find the answer, we can go through each choice.

A. Females taking Geometry

Row 1 Column 2 tells us that 53 females are taking geometry. 53/310 is about 17%.

B. Females taking Algebra II.

Row 1 Colume 3 tells us that 62 females are taking Algebra II. 62/310 is 20%.

C. Males taking Geometry.

Row 2 Colume 2 tells us that 59 males are taking Geometry. 59/310 is about 19%. Choice C is correct.

D. Males taking Algebra I.

44 out of the total 310 respondents are male and is taking Algebra I. 44/310 is about 14%.
