Answer: 2/5
Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.4 is four tenths, so we can write 0.4 as the fraction 4/10.
Notice however that 4/10 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 4 and 10 which is 2.
So if we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2, we get the equivalent fraction 2/5.
Therefore, 0.4 can be written as the fraction 2/5 which is in lowest terms.
Answer:
- Part (a) Vertex = (-3, -1)
- Part (b) Vertex = (4, 5)
- Part (c) function 2; max value = 5
=====================================================
Explanations:
Part (a)
In this case, the vertex is the highest point, so the vertex of function 1 is (-3, -1)
If the parabola was flipped so that it opened upward, instead of downward, then the vertex would be the lowest point.
----------------------------
Part (b)
We could graph this function to see where the highest or lowest point is, but there's another way we could find the vertex using algebra.
The given equation is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c where in this case
- a = -2
- b = 16
- c = -27
The a and b values are plugged into the formula below to get
h = -b/(2a)
h = -16/(2*(-2))
h = -16/(-4)
h = 4
This is the x coordinate the vertex since the vertex is (h,k)
To find k, we plug that value of h into the original function to find its corresponding y value.
y = -2x^2 + 16x - 27
y = -2(4)^2 + 16(4) - 27
y = -2(16) + 16(4) - 27
y = -32 + 64 - 27
y = 5
We found that h = 4 leads to k = 5. The vertex is (h,k) = (4, 5)
----------------------------
Part (c)
We'll compare the y values of each vertex
- Function 1 has a vertex of (-3, 1)
- Function 2 has a vertex of (4, 5)
The vertex with the larger y value is the winner, so that would be function 2. This parabola reaches a higher peak compared to the other curve.
The max value here is y = 5. In other words, it's the maximum output the function can produce.
If you graphed functions 1 and 2 together on the same xy grid (see below), you'll see that the curve for function 2 reaches a higher peak.
