...6 and 10 are roots, so x – 6 and x – 10 are factors.
y = a(x – 6)(x – 10).....plug in the point (8, 2) and solve for a:
2 = a(8 – 6)(8 – 10)
2 = –4a
a = –1/2
...y = (–1/2)(x – 6)(x – 10)
...y = (–1/2)(x² – 16x + 60)
...y = (–x²/2) + 8x – 30 <<<------Answer, or:
...y = (–1/2)(x – 8)² + 2 <<<------Answer
Answer: x=15
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 107=(9x-115)+(4x+27)
Step 1: 9x+4x-115+27=107
Step 2: 13x-115+27=107
Step 3: 13x-88=107
Step 4: 13x-88+88=107+88
Step 5: 13x=195
Step 6: 13x/13=195/13
x=15
Slope of perpendicular is -1/3.
Then equation is
y-5=(-1/3)(x+9)
