Answer:

m∠ABC = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m∠ABC = x°
m∠BCD = 25°
m∠CDE = 55°
m∠DEF = 3x°

Add two more parallel lines passing through points C and D.

Consider alternate interior angles formed by the four parallel lines.

The angles between the two middle lines are equal to:

m∠BCD - m∠ABC = m∠CDE - m∠DEF

Substitute values and solve for x:

25 - x = 55 - 3x
3x - x = 55 - 25
2x = 30
x = 15

m∠ABC = 15°

Find the axis of symmetry and vertex of the following y= -2x2-3x+2

Mnenie [13.5K]

Y= -2x²-3x+2, (form y = ax² +b .x + c

The parabola opens downward & hence it's Vertex is a MAXIMUM.

We know that the axis of symmetry is -b/2a ==>3/(-4) ==>
x= - 3/4 (axis of symmetry. At x=-3/4 , y = 25/8 = 3.125

Hence the axis of symmetry is x= - 3/4 & the vertex is at (-3/4, 25/8)

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

$if~(x,y)~is~mid~point~of~(x_{1},y_{1})~and~ (x_{2},y_{2}~then\\x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} \\y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} \\x=\frac{5-3}{2} =\frac{2}{2}=1\\y=\frac{7+1}{2} =\frac{8}{2} =4$
