Carry out the mult.: f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189]
Combine like terms: f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [ ]: f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c: a= -1, b=12, c=189
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), which here equals
x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or x = 6
This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.
Answer:
B because it is a single digit number with added decimals
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -19
Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by -9.

x - 26 = -45
Add 26 to both sides.
x - 26 + 26 = -45 + 26
x = -19
