Consider the parabola given by the equation: f(x) = 4x² - 6x - 8 Find the following for this parabola: A) The vertex: Preview B)

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The vertex: $(\frac{3}{4},-\frac{41}{4} )$

The vertical intercept is: $y=-8$

The coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola are $(\frac{3+\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)$ and $(\frac{3-\sqrt{41} }{4} , 0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex of the parabola $4x^2-6x-8$ you need to:

1. Find the coefficients a, b, and c of the parabola equation

$a=4, b=-6, \:and \:c=-8$

2. You can apply this formula to find x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$ , so

$x=-\frac{-6}{2\cdot 4}\\x=\frac{3}{4}$

3. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex you use the parabola equation and x-coordinate of the vertex ( $f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c$ )

$f(-\frac{b}{2a})=a(-\frac{b}{2a})^2+b(-\frac{b}{2a})+c\\f(\frac{3}{4})=4\cdot (\frac{3}{4})^2-6\cdot (\frac{3}{4})-8\\y=\frac{-41}{4}$

To find the vertical intercept you need to evaluate x = 0 into the parabola equation

$f(x)=4x^2-6x-8\\f(0)=4(0)^2-6\cdot 0-0\\f(0)=-8$

To find the coordinates of the two intercepts of the parabola you need to solve the parabola by completing the square

$\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}$

$x^2-6x-8+8=0+8$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$4x^2-6x=8$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4$

$\frac{4x^2-6x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}=2$

$\mathrm{Write\:equation\:in\:the\:form:\:\:}x^2+2ax+a^2=\left(x+a\right)^2$

$x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=2+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2\\x^2-\frac{3x}{2}+\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}$

$\left(x-\frac{3}{4}\right)^2=\frac{41}{16}$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

$x_1=\frac{\sqrt{41}+3}{4},\:x_2=\frac{-\sqrt{41}+3}{4}$

1 ) Find the volume of a cylinder with diameter 22 in and height 15 in.

OverLord2011 [107]

1. The volume of the cylinder is calculated through the equation, V = πr²h. Substituting the known values,
V = π(22 in/2)²(15 in) = 1815π in³ = 5701.99 in²
2. The answer to this item is letter "C. area of the base x height".
3. The volume of the prism is 5 x 5 x 10 cm or equal to 250 cm³.

ZE is the angle bisector of AngleYEX and the perpendicular bisector of Line segment G F. Line segment G X is the angle bisector

frozen [14]

Answer:

Point A is the center of the circle that passes through points E, F, and G and the center of the circle that passes through points X, Y, and Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the intersection of angle bisectors, so is the incenter of triangle EFG. It is also the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of triangle EFG, so is the circumcenter.

The altitudes at X, Y, and Z are perpendicular to sides EF, EG, and FG, and pass through the incenter, so X, Y, Z are points on the incircle.

A is the center of circles through E, F, and G, and through X, Y, and Z.
