Step-by-step explanation:
ax^2+bx+c=0
a=leading term
ok so if the leading term is positive then opens up and has a <u>min</u>
if leading term is negative then opens down and has a <u>max</u>
leading term is positive
1x^2+8x
it has a min
to complete the square, move c aside take 1/2 of b and square it
b=8
8/2=4
4^2=16
now add that to both sides
x^2+8x+16+6=0+16
factor perfect square
(x+4)^2+6=16
subtract 6
(x+4)^2=10
subtract 10
(x+4)^2-10=0
vertex aka min or max is (h,k) when ou have
y=a(x-h)+k
h=-4
k=-10
Answer:
The probabilty would be 87.34%
Step-by-step explanation:
Add all the numbers together and multiply them as a percetnage by four
Answer:
y=3x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's an example to illustrate the method:
f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 10
First divide the first 2 terms by the coefficient of x^2 , which is 3:
= 3(x^2 - 2x) + 10
Now divide the -2 ( in -2x) by 2 and write the x^2 - 2x in the form
(x - b/2)^2 - b/2)^2 (where b = 2) , which will be equal to x^2 - 2x in a different form.
= 3[ (x - 1)^2 - 1^2 ] + 10 (Note: we have to subtract the 1^2 because (x - 1)^2 = x^2 - 2x + 1^2 and we have to make it equal to x^2 - 2x)
= 3 [(x - 1)^2 -1 ] + 10
= 3(x - 1)^2 - 3 + 10
= <u>3(x - 1)^2 + 7 </u><------- Vertex form.
In general form the vertex form of:
ax^2 + bx + c = a [(x - b/2a)^2 - (b/2a)^2] + c .
This is not easy to commit to memory so I suggest the best way to do these conversions is to remember the general method.
