What is the vertex , x coordinates , and x intercepts of y=2x ^2 + 4x-30

Evgesh-ka [11]

5.1 Find the Vertex of y = x2-2x-15

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 1 , is positive (greater than zero).

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is 1.0000 

Plugging into the parabola formula 1.0000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
 y = 1.0 * 1.00 * 1.00 - 2.0 * 1.00 - 15.0
 or y = -16.000

On a buying trip in los angeles, rosaria perez ordered 120 pieces of jewelry: a number of bracelets at $77 each and a number

Digiron [165]

Let, the number of bracelets be x and the number of necklaces be y.

Given, there are 120 pieces of jewellery which are bracelets and necklaces.

So we can write the equation, $x+y = 120$ ....equation 1
